Closed A2000 & A500 keycaps etc

[BLTCON0]

Some keycaps, as pictured.

A2000 ones: From German layout keyboard, Mitsumi keyboard type.
Most keycaps are identical among different layouts. Suitable for A3000 and A4000 keyboards with rigid PCB (A4000 ones with membrane use the smoother A500 type keycaps).

Keys 1 through 0 (upper row) are available twice.

Space key is yellowed and quite bent inwards. Commodore used the lower-quality A500 type on A2000 keyboards, so that's only natural.


A500 ones: From UK 94-key leyout, Mitsumi type. Some are non-yellowed, most are to some extent. Suitable for later A4000 keyboards too (with membrane).
The respective 94-key plastic base is also available.

Notes:
1. A2000 and A500 Mitsumi type keys slightly differ in look & feel but not in shape, so they're quite interchangeable (the fitting sleeve has to be swapped too, I have some of each type, ask).
2. Some metal clips and springs are also available (springs aren't typically found on A2000 etc keyboards apart from the CAPS LOCK key, but they can be perfectly used in place of the rubber cups anyway).
3. Also available are most keys from the rarer Samsung type keyboard (A500 only), not shown here. Ask. You have a Samsung type keyboard if there exist two distinct membranes to the keyboard PCB.

I don't mind offering these to a single person, but if more are interested, they'll be shared across as it's the right thing to do (tm).

Taken:
A2000: F1, F6 [flip]
A500: Enter (numpad) [Bastich], Y [jkonstan], ESC, F5 [flip], Left Amiga [chapas]

Declaring interest in an A2000 Y Keycap & plastic underneath.

Declaring interest in the right A key if postage is not a deal breaker.

@jkonstan
Y-Z keys are swapped on German keyboards, so the contour of this "Y" key is that of the lower row keys (X, C, V etc) and very different from the correct upper row contour (T, U etc), see photo.
So if you have a QWERTY layout keyboard, you need the "Y" key from another such layout keyboard.
Of course if you do have a German one, you can disregard the above.

@rkauer
Simple airmail is EUR 2.50 (should be good for at least 3-4 keys, in case you want a couple more).

I have US keyboard so you are correct that keycap will not work properly. I will key looking for the correct part.

Nice gesture! No Alt keys.

@salaxi54
Thanks mate. Yeah, the ALT keys as well as the outer-right ones are already gone, these seem to be the most common scenario with missing/broken keys.
I have more complete UK A500 spares too but they're rather badly yellowed. I'll put those on offer too when I've sorted them out.

 

[BLTCON0]

jkonstan has requested an A2000-type key sleeve as well as a complete A500 "Y" key, I'll register this here as the A500 keys will eventually also be offered here
Items have been shipped.

Hi,

Are there any of the rubber cups from the A2000 kb available at all?

 

[BLTCON0]

Don't know, maybe a couple at most. If I find them you want them?

Feedback left as well. Sorry, kind of forgot about it

I'm a mathematician, so I'm pretty "experienced" in forgetting about stuff myself
We're only human I guess (although the definition of "human" in this forum might slightly deviate from common belief )

Title should be changed.

Interested in some keys from the 2000 key selection if they can be fitted to an A1200 keyboard. The keys in question are the left shift key and the one to the right plus the return key and the one to its left (lower).
