I use a Cloud-9 PS/2 keyboard adapter on my CoCo 3, specifically
because after a marathon programming session on a CoCo keyboard, I
screw up "/@ keys in my day job. Having the same keyboard for both work
& Coco has solved that issue. I opted instead to get custom keycaps. My
esc key is red, F1,F2, Enter, etc white keys, the rest beige. So it has
a CoCo look but maintains pc layout / compatibility. So not interested.
But perhaps folks that live on emulators are interested.

Ah if it is for emulation the definitely a coco3 layout with
additional
coco 3 keys would be nice.
