Other retro keyboard color schemes
« on: Fri, 24 May 2013, 10:39:41 »
The DSA retro thread got me thinking about older machines that came with colored keyboards:

Amstrad CPC 464
Four colors, three very bright. Cassette keys deep-dish.



BBC Micro
Three rather drab colors.



Acorn A30*0
Two shades of grey and red f-keys on the A3000 and the most amazing shade of green on the A3010. Also interesting way of getting an extra key on for UK users leaving the enter key alone by making backspace smaller instead.





Toshiba MSX
Five colors including two shades of grey on an odd profile.



Any other cool schemes?

Those are pretty cool!  I especially like the amstrad.  I don't know of any others, unfortunately.
