Hello guys,

I need to replace a couple of switches from my beloved Amiga 1000 keyboard (I use it for retrocomputing programming stuffs). According to the wiki (wiki/Commodore_Amiga_1000) and from what I can see removing the keycaps, it uses tactile Mitsumi standard mechanical Type 2 switches.

My biggest problem is of course finding this kind of switches (I searched but I haven't found nothing new), so I would like to know if someone of you know of a modern replacement that could match this Mitsumi switches.

Thanks! :)

Oh cool, I think that I need about 10 of them. Is this something compatible with you spare stock?
