TS500 Mechanical Keyboard for Amiga 500 with White-Gray Keycaps and Blue Switches.
This is a complete, ready-to-use keyboard, including switches, keycaps, and the necessary cable to connect your TS500 to the Amiga 500. You don't need to buy anything else. Simply connect the cable to your motherboard, and you're all set.
Keycaps colors: White-grey.
Switches - Blue (Offer a discernible tactile bump and a loud, audible click)
Features:
- Plug & Play: (no extra drivers needed, works straight away even in Amiga Early Startup Control menu).
- Permanent Legends: Thanks to advanced Dye-Sublimation printing, the keycap legends are permanent and exceptionally durable. They will never fade or scratch off like those made with temporary pad printing.
- Layout: US,UK and DE layouts (3 in 1. An extra 23 keycaps are included to switch between layouts).
- Integrated Controller: The TS500 keyboard has its own built-in controller, so you don't need to use an original controller from another keyboard!
- LED Indicators: A green LED is on the Caps Lock keycap
- Dual Compatibility: Thanks to its built-in controller, the TS500 keyboard works on both Amiga 500/500+ computers and modern PCs via a flat micro USB cable (not included).
Additional features:
- You can swap the Alt and Amiga keys by pressing TS (the left extra button) + the right Amiga + the right Alt keys at the same time. The keyboard will confirm this by flashing the Caps Lock LED three times.
- The extra key on the right is not connected to the keyboard controller. There's a 2-pin connector for it in the top left of the keyboard, which you can use to control things like RGB2HDMI.
- There's a 2-pin connector for one of the three "Drive" LEDs, located in the top-middle of the keyboard. You can use it to connect to the drive activity status on your turbo card (most of these cards have such a connector).
- In USB mode, special function keys like Home, F11, etc., are activated by simultaneously pressing the TS key and the corresponding key on the keyboard.
- There is a jumper that selects the behavior of the Power LED. The LED can be controlled by the Amiga (like a standard Amiga keyboard) or it can be constantly on via the controller (useful in USB mode).
TS500 will fit original cases and those produced by A1200.net.
Package included:
- TS500 Mechanical Keyboard (with Blue Switches and integrated controller!)
- 98 pre-fitted white-gray keycaps
- Extra 23 keycaps for US, UK, and DE language layouts
- Connection Cable: To link the TS500 directly to your Amiga 500.
- Keycap removal tool
- Custom-Made Box: A perfectly fitting white cardboard box.
