When you offer something for sale you are supposed to state what country you are in.

Have the keys ever popped off so that you could see what type of mechanism powers the keys?  I need to know which type of keys it has.  If it has the kind of keys that are compatible to my disability then I will happily buy it else not.

Thank you.


It's a standard A2000 keyboard with either the "buckling dome" style of spring or a spring period.  The only Amiga Keyboard that had cherry switches in it is the "small f-key" model.

EDIT EDIT:  Looks like the ones with the quacking duck for the left A also had a mechanical switch.

I donno what a cherry switch is.

The buckling rubber sleeves are crap for me.

I need the low-impact type of keyboard.  One where I can type without the keys banging into the bottom of the keyboard.

Springs FTW! :)

if you want a keyboard that doesn't bottom out you want one of the cherry switch models.  Those actuate before bottoming out.
