Most Amiga keyboards in general have the cheaper rubber dome keys.  Compared to all of them, the Amiga 3000 keyboard is the best looking one in my opinion.

But if you have to settle for an Amiga 2000 keyboard, keep your eyes out for the model that has the mechanical keys.  They are built much better and the keypress has a more distinct/solid feel compared to the cheaper rubber dome type.  Many people notice it looks slightly different but don't realize it is rarer and built with a higher quality.

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don\'t.

I have 2 A3000 keyboards.  Both broken.  Certain keys don't work.  Bad membrane or dirty membrane or whatever.  Yes these are the retarded rubber dome over membrane type as I think all A3000 keyboards were.

When u buy an A2000 keyboard I have no idea how you would know if you are getting one of the crappy $300.00 ones or one of the elite $600.00 ones.
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

The mechanical key Amiga 2000 keyboards were a bit smaller and thinner.  The famous A2000 keyboard with the red "Amiga keys" is one of these awesome keyboards.  They also made one with regular black "Amiga keys", which is harder to recognize.

Found: A2000 rather than an A3000 Keyboard

Thanks folks. I ended up with a perfectly good A2000 keyboard sitting under the hair dryer to give it high lights.

Thank you for looking, but I'm just going with an A2000 for my A3000; that sounds strange. Well I will get to see how 12% peroxide in a cream base works in the A2000 I bought.
