A2000 keyboards

[Olecranon]

I'm looking for a replacement keyboard for an A2000 and was wondering how well the PC keyboard adapters work.  I've been looking at used keyboard but for they seem to go in the $20-$30 + shipping range.  For that much money I'm thinking a PC keyboard adapter might be the better way to go.

Software hut sells the Lyra keyboard adapter for $40

Anyone use one of these?  Whats your thoughts?

For less than $40 you can get a used working A2000 keyboard! Check ebay too.

I guess thats my point..

$30 - $40 for a used 15+ year-old amiga keyboard.. or $40 for a PC keyboard adapter that I can use a wide variety of cheap, shiny new keyboards with.

But one thing is for sure...it aint no Amiga keyboard. It feels different......but nevertheless quite usefull. now a Cocolino/Topolino/Mr Myza Mouse adaptor.......thats cool! I got one. it uses even wireless mice. and probably with those PowerPoint Pointers that can be used with SCALA for live presentations or Businiess proposals.

If I get the keyboard adapter, I want to get one of those old school mechanical clicky keyboards.  Like an IBM M series or a focus 2001/6000.  Those keyboards were awesome for banging on.  I was going to try to snag a Northgate Omnikey off ebay, but those things go for big $
