Keyrah V3 is the revised version of our popular Keyrah interface. Keyrah V3 allows you to connect the keyboards of classic computer systems like the Commodore 64 or the Amiga 1200 to modern computers (e.g. PC, Mac, or the Raspberry Pi) via USB. It also supports digital joysticks and analog paddles of such classic systems, which will be converted to standard HID game controllers. Supported systems with this model are:

Commodore C64 (all models)

Commodore SX-64

Commodore VIC-20 (VC20)

Commodore C16

Commodore C128D

Amiga 1200

Amiga 600

Amiga 500

Amiga 4000/CDTV

Atari ST (8-pin connector only)

PC XT / PC AT (with PS/2 adapter)

The following systems can be made compatible by mounting additional connectors on the circuit board or using adapters:

Commocore C128

Commodore C116

Commodore plus/4

Commodore PET (8296)

Commodore CBM2 (B-Series)

Amiga 2000/3000 (with PS2 adapter)

Keyrah V3's switch allows you to switch between the standard and a keymap that's geared towards emulation. This switch looks and feels like the original power switch of the Commodore 64, adding a third switch position that allows you to send an ACPI signal to shut down/power up your computer. To avoid triggering the shutdown procedure by accident, this third position is not locked, so the switch will always flip back from it if not held in place. For further safety, the ACPI signal is only sent to the computer after being held in this position for five seconds.

The box includes the Keyrah V3 circuit board and a printed manual. USB cable is not included. Pictures may vary.
