WASD are quality keyboards, using cherry mx switches.

I have mulled over contacting Unicomp and seeing if they would build an amiga keyboard:

I think a nice buckling spring would be the best analogue for an old A2000/A4000 Keyboard.  They'd need to knock the Fkey count down to 10, get rid of menu key and some other stuff, and figure out the controller chip cos they aren't exactly the same as a pc keyboard.  Maybe if we could scrabble together a group buy they might stamp out a few.

Yeah, that's why I wondered if their keys were compatible with other keyboards. I'd convert my whole fleet of PC keyboards, whether they're hooked up to Amigas or not ;)


The keycaps will fit most keyboards that use a cherry mx switch.  they will NOT fit most likely any keyboard you have not specifically purchased with cherry mx switches, as in everything from logitech, microsoft, or any non-brand.

Cherry MX switched boards:
steelstorm, filco, leopold, WASD, Das, Ducky, and Rosewill makes one.
