Thinking about getting a Amiga Mechanical Keyboard. Not sure whether to get one from MAGMA or Amedia Computer. Which one is the best? Thanks.

Hi fondpondforever.

There are a few but essential differences to each of them.

For the AMIGA MAGMAkeys you can choose from six different Cherry Switches. That's nothing Amedia can offer.
And also the pricing starts from "only" 213 Euros. I know, a LOT of money. But compared to the starting price of 299 from Amedia still much cheaper.

Also you can choose the Language Layout from 13 Languages. Also nothing Amedia can realize.

If you like, you can order a free Cherry MX switches sample set for testing.

I realise its not cheap to get keykaps printed, but thats a lot of money when you can get a similiar keyboard with generic caps starting at ~80E-ish.

And how often do you look at your keycaps anyway?
