Does anyone know if there was ever an official CD32 keyboard made?

Do you have any more info?

 The most I've heard is that there was one, but never seen a picture, advertisment, sale or otherwise for one. I wonder if there actually was or it's just a myth?

There was a black keyboard you could buy alongside the SX-1


Was it a CD32 specific keyboard, with CD32 labelling, Amgia keys and so on? or just an ordinary PC keyboard?

Im afraid i cant help you anymore, however, considering there isnt even a picture of it here http://amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=660 id say its VERY rare indeed.


That's part of the reason why I'm suspecting there might not actually be one. I can't find any reference on the net anywhere.

The only "proof" I have ever heard is from people stating that there was one.

@Lizard

Is it labelled CDTV or CD32?

Apart from the wiring, is it any different from any other CDTV keyboard? Stickers? Labelling?

I found this http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=664 , but to me it's nothing more than a PC keyboard and not at all what I was expecting.
