Default Amiga 600 sighting in Men In Black II? You decide, I say no.
Well after scanning the scene in question, this is the only image that comes close.



First glance says it could be. A good guess for sure. However when comparing it to the layout of an actual A600..



The key layout does not match up. ok, so what kind of keyboard is it? :-? It doesnt look like a PC keyboard :-?

I'd say no.

It's the same colours, but that's about it.

I'm pretty sure it's not a PC or Amstrad keyboard either.

It looks like a compact (not Compaq) PC keyboard a friend of mine has. I'll take a look at it and get back to you.

It could be an A600 keyboard with another keyboard layout than the US one, but that seems like a longshot. I'd say it's a happy hacking keyboard or similar.

I'd say it's more likely an A1000 board than an A600... and it certainly not an A1000 board... :-(

IMHO it is an IMac keyboard w/out case.

Ciao

I dont think it is...

The colours look right (dangerous coming from a colourblind person like me). Some keys seem to be missing maybe but the clincher for me is that the cursor keys are not in the right place. They appear to be below the level of the space bar.

I'm guessing it's a laptop keyboard of some sort.

After squinting at it for a while, and reading the comments, I'm reminded of the early Toshiba laptop keyboards, something from the 1000/1100(+) line, maybe.

That would've required a bit of hacksaw work, though, to get that 'lip of the casing' effect.

It's such a sad sad time, that we couldn't recognize our A1s or Pegasai if used in movies or tv shows because they've lost their identities....

I for one, would like a custom keyboard and case for the A1. (Not one I personally dig up, that is, but from the producers.)

While we're at it, a mascot too!

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

;-) A number of the keys are below the spacebar, and the case seems to be missing. I suspect that it began life as a common PC keyboard, but was then cosmetically modified by the prop master to create something a little more "futuristic," by making it just a little different. Who knows what it originally was.

Caps Lock proves it is not Amiga keyboard. Very likely from some PC laptop.
