Wanted: A NEW Amiga USB keyboard

[AmigaNow]

I was wondering if enough of us were to ask Amiga INC for an Amiga keyboard if they would partner with someone to make one. I'm thinking it would be perfect for the Towered A1200's, new Amiga's coming, or for even people like me that use WinUAE. I would personally love to have a keyboard with all the Amiga keys, and also with the other IBM keys too...

 :idea:

Exactly. I would not care if it didn't have an Amiga label. I could put one on it. I'm just wanting a keyboard that has the Amiga keys. At one time there was a Micronix adapter case that you could put an A1200 keyboard into. Saw one on eBay. But I'm unsure if it will work on a pc as well as an Amiga.

The reason I ask for this is also for those who own Pegasos machines. And did the Amiga ONE have an Amiga keyboard, or did they require an ibm one?

If the Sam does finally arrive, will it require an ibm keyboard?

I use windows at work, and it allows me on my personal machine to have an Amiga again. My real Amiga was stolen from me years ago. I was unable to replace it at the time, and am looking to purchase either an A1200 or a Sam if it becomes available.

I used the term ibm keyboard to signify windows type. All i386 computers are considered ibm clones. Although ibm keyboards I've seen have clack-clack keys...

For nostalgic reasons and to generate curiosity, I wouldn't mind having an Amiga made keyboard to use on my non-Amiga computer.

If an Amiga keyboard were available, would anyone buy it, or is everyone in love with the standard windows keyboard?

Correct. I'm thinking of a newer style, ergonomic kb that just has the proper keys. I seem to always forget and press PageDn while using my AmiKit Amiga, which is not what I intended. I have not figured out yet what to do to get out of that screen unless I reboot. Also, I miss the look and feel of my A1200 keyboard...

Excellent news. Keyrah sounds promising. From what I've read about it, it can be used for the IBM or the Amiga. Was definitely considering obtaining an A1200, which would give me the keyboard I'm looking for since the case and keyboard would have been left over once I placed the mobo in a tower.

Thanks!
