There's a better chance of being elected prime minister than getting your hands on a CD32 keyboard :p but best of luck!

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but fyi there is a PS/2 keyboard that is a good visual match to the CD32, the SunRace JME-8231. You could use it with one of the many CD32 risers out there.

I doubt you with find an original CD32 keyboard if they even do exist they are extremely rare as stated in this link

The CD32 Keyboard does indeed exist in both US English and German layout but yea they are quite rare, I currently own the CD32 keyboard you linked, which I purchased from a user on Amiga.org back in 2006, you can see his original sales post below were he briefly explained how he acquired the keyboard.

https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=24573.0

The company he refers to is CEI Miami, they were once Commodore’s main US distributer and later one of the bidders for Commodore’s assets. The keyboard itself appears to be made from the molds of the A2000 and A3000 keyboards but in grey plastic and custom logo, probably similar manufacture process for the CDTV keyboard? The back of the Keyboard is marked CEI: ‘PARTS KEYBOARD CD32’, however CEI doesn’t appear to be the manufacturer as the majority of surviving keyboards are German, you can find some examples on A1K.org. I think it was a user there who sent detailed pictures of his CD32 keyboard to Philippe Lang to help with his Kickstarter, CD32 Special edition case and keycaps for the A1200, ironically also now rare.
