Title: [eBay] Anyone know anything about Amstrad keyboards?
Post by: jeroplane on Tue, 16 October 2012, 09:11:42

Found this listing: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VINTAGE-AMSTRAD-KEYBOARD-ORIGINAL-PACKAGING-/230865182688?pt=AU_Computers_Vintage&hash=item35c0a31fe0#ht_787wt_1257

Does anyone know anything about this board or the keycaps? They look like some kind of doubleshots to me and the legends look like Cherry legends.

The only comments I have seen regarding Amstrad is they are a foam and foil type and feel awful. Pictures I have seen the keycaps aren't compatible with MX. They have a long tube post like many rubberdomes.
