Replacement keyboards for TRS-80 Color Computer?
« on: Fri, 08 April 2011, 00:32:32 »
Does anyone remember the vibrant replacement keyboard market for the Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer?  There were many expensive replacement keyboards for the Chiclet-style keyboards, the flat-style CoCo 2 keyboards, and even the sculpted CoCo 3 keyboards.

Does anyone know who made these keyboards?  As I recall they were very expensive.  I elected to just buy a CoCo 3 with the OEM sculpted keyboard as it only cost a little more than a replacement keyboard did.
