Hi, i was wondering how many DC keyboard type where released (PAL, NTSC-US and NTSC-JAP). There seems to be alot, i counted around 5 with a quick search over google (because google is our friend!)., but im sure there's plenty of other. I think Yak (does it bother you if i call you Yak? :-D ) could answer, but any help will be really apreciated. :smt023 cahaz.
Are you counting 3rd party ones and also the ones bundled with games? DC History showed at least a couple of Typing Of The Dead keyboards.......... Did one come with the other typing title, Macross was it?
Weren't there a few other typing titles? Like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Lupin 3rd (though that might have been arcade only). Oh, and to help you on your quest about the keyboards, I know of the following: US- Dreamcast Keyboard 1 (Rectangular Space Bar) US- Dreamcast Keyboard 2 (Rounded Space Bar) US- SegaNet Keyboard JPN- Clear Mini-Keyboard
re Sorry, my mistake, it wasn't Macross. I knew it was a licensed anime title, got it wrong though. I think there were 2 different official UK ones, one had a larger space bar then the other.
I have an official French one with the French keyboard layout. Probably the same thing was released for every other country in Europe. The keyboard is absolutely useless for using - it came with other rarer stuff.
Do the two different Hello Kitty bundles count as two other keyboard types? If so, there's a blue and a pink, clear hello kitty keyboard for the DC, as well.
The ultra-funky Divers 2000 comes with a transparent keyboard, with the D2000 logo. The ones I've seen are transparent green, black and greyish looking, with matching colour pad and Dreameye.
There are atleast 18 keyboards I know of (I view a keyboard in a different box as being different too)......: White Standard ones(note I think they are language driven rather than country driven): English UK English Australia German French Spanish US Standard (white/orange box) US Standard (dark blue/black box) US SegaNET Japanese Standard White Box - http://www.dreamcastgallery.com/dc/galleryimages/controller_japkb_f001.jpg Japanese Typing of the Dead box Japanese Sakura Wars (pink keyboard) - http://www.dreamcastgallery.com/dc/gallery.asp?selected_controller_id=155 Japanese Transparent keyboard in a white box Japanese Transparent keyboard in Internet Kit Box Japanese Black keyboard in white box- http://www.dreamcastgallery.com/dc/gallery.asp?selected_controller_id=150 Japanese Hello Kitty Pink keyboard - http://www.dreamcastgallery.com/dc/galleryimages/keyboard_hellokittypink_top.jpg Japanese Hello Kitty Blue keyboard Japanese Divers keyboard - http://www.dreamcastgallery.com/dc/galleryimages/console-divers-keyboard.jpg I have pics of most of them above, just not online pics at the moment... I'm sure there will be many other country variations....can anyone speak up for their language/country?
