Well...my best keyboard is not an Amiga keyboard.
I use an IBM PS2 keyboard on my CD32.
Better keyswitches than most of the market when manufactured, and definitely better than most keyboards available today.

As to Amiga keyboards, I prefer my A2000's keyboard.

One of my favourite Amiga keyboards isn't a real Amiga keyboard either.  There's a Mitsumi AT keyboard that accepts Amiga 1200 key caps.


This isn't mine

It's the keyboard I bought for my first DIY A1200 tower conversion.  At the time I had no idea that Mitsumi manufactured some of the Keyboards for Commodore so it was rather a case of pot luck that I bought this one.  Curiosity led me to seeing if I could swap the keys.

This particular model can still be found on Ebay.

I have an A4000 keyboard I can use for my CD32.

No love for the A1000 keyboard?

The others seem mushy to me, but the A1000 seems a little more clicky.


The A1000 keyboard uses mechanical switches whereas the later models used membranes.
