Amiga Mechanical Keyboard (ETA : MID DECEMBER)
The Amiga Mechanical Keyboard is designed to work seamlessly across the Amiga range.
The base keyboard fits natively inside any Amiga 1200 computer and is also compatible with Amiga 500 systems through the addition of the optional A500 daughter board.
– A compact A600 version preproduction unit is in development. Availability to Amiga enthusiasts is to be based on an upcoming poll.
The keyboard fits both original and new A500/A1200 cases and can be installed in external housings, making it ideal for big box Amiga systems and custom builds.
Thanks to its modular controller bay, different daughter boards can be added to adapt the same base keyboard to various Amiga models — and/or to open the door for DIY modules developed by the enthusiast community.

The Amiga Mechanical Keyboard in practice
-
-
For Amiga 1200 users:
– the keyboard is a direct plug-and-play replacement using the included ribbon cable. -
For Amiga 500 users:
– the keyboard requires the optional AMIGA 500 KEYBOARD CONTROLLER daughter-board.
The controller mounts on the top right of the keyboard and connects via a custom U-shaped ribbon cable beneath the keyboard,
then links to the A500 motherboard through a serial wire—mirroring the original mounting location and ensuring perfect compatibility.
-
External Keyboard Use
While the keyboard form factor is compliant with Amiga external keyboard housings, we are planning to release additional keyboard controller daughter-boards for seamless integration.
Bring the legendary Amiga typing experience into the modern age—mechanical precision, authentic compatibility, and a clean black aesthetic designed to last.
