What computer keyboard is shown in this commercial?

Did Atari ever produce it? It's not the Graduate or the one for the Jr. because it looks like it has a cartridge pass through and those two didn't, so what is it?

The Compumate doesn't have a cartridge pass through either and I have one so I'd know if that was it. Compumate isn't an Atari product, either, so it wouldn't appear in an Atari commercial. Why would they pay to advertise someone else's product that they get no money from?

That's the Graduate and that's not it, either.

I would guess it's just a mock-up of a proposed design for the Graduate.

It kind of looks like the second picture here:

It's threads like this one that make me so disappointed that the big game crash happened, thinking of all of the really cool add-on gear and games for the Atari that never were. (Intellivision, too.) One wonders how the home videogame and computer markets would have been different had Atari remained the dominant platform. Perhaps no Nintendo? Or at least not as big in the U.S.; perhaps it still would have been big in Japan. And on the home computer side, would we have seen the rise of the IBM PC, and subsequently Microsoft?

 

But of course I'm mostly just disappointed that we didn't get all of the really cool stuff for the Atari like the Graduate...

If I recall correctly, The keyboard that Atari released for the 2600 wasn''t designed by Atari themselves but one of the first commodore spin off companies (peripheral by design, which eventually became Esoniqs)...from what I recall, commodore attempted to sue the spin off company for the vcs/2600 keyboard for some reason
