Tempest Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I need some new keys to replace the damaged ones on my Amiga 1200 (Spacebar, Shift Key, and one or two others). Please PM me if you have some for sale/trade. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Looks like it's just the spacebar and left A key (solid A). Anyone? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest I have a whole A600 keyboard if you can use the key caps from that... also the top plastic part of an a600 (someone threw away the rest of the computer!!).

I know when I looked at a 2000 keyboard the caps were different and I couldn't use them. Can you post a picture of the underside of one of the keys?

Tempest Here you go, this is the back side of keyboard assembly, I hope this is enough, I took it with photobooth with a cam, so it's not excactly hi res, but it should be enough, if not let me know. If it will work for you let me know. If you need a better or diff picture let me know... in other words let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Actually what I meant was pry off one of the keys and look at the back, as in how it attaches to the plunger for the key. For some reason the pattern is different on the backs of the key caps and they wont fit. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest okay i took the ESC key off. the grey thing inside the key attaches to a round cylindrical white thing with a spring on the outside.
