Looking for an A2000, A3000 or A4000 keyboard

[guybrush]

Ebay prices are quite inflated so I am hoping someone has a working keyboard for sale at a reasonable price.


I am using a Lyra3 adapter which allow me to use A2000, A3000 and A4000 keyboards; so I am looking at either model. Thanks

Actually, the Lyra3 allows you to use PC keyboards with a PS/2 connector on the Amiga, so I'm quite confused what you are looking for.

I am looking for what I wrote in the request: a keyboard from an A2000, A3000 or A4000

So not a CDTV one then? Or are you colour matching?

Yeah, the CDTV is black so that won't fit with my current "cream" color scheme. Is the CDTV keyboard plug the same 5 pin DIN? I thought they were their own thing like the A1000 keyboards

Yep CDTV mini 5 pin round din.

You may need to use a converter cable though. Not sure if it will directly work like a A4000 keyboards 5 pin mini din. The A2000 and 3000 use the older AT pin din round plugs. The A4000 and CDTV use the newer Ps/2 style smaller din plugs.

I have one that came with some other stuff. I would be happy to send it for the cost of shipping, I am in Illinois in the US. Your profile said you were in the USA too so that would help minimize costs. I don't have a way to test it though. DM me if interested and I can send you pictures if that helps.

It is Model KKQ-E94YC, Commodore part no. 313323-02, Used on A3000.

It will not, CDTV is a 5 pin mini din, the A4000 is a 6 pin mini din. The center plastic key is different between the two as is the pinout so you can't mix and match. An A4000 <-> CDTV adapter would be a passive cable though.
