* '''CPC 664 Keyboard Circuit'''
* [https://deskthority.net/wiki/Mitsumi_KPR_Type Mitsumi KPR Type] Keyboard similar to the [https://deskthority.net/wiki/Commodore_Amiga_500#Mitsumi_KPR_Type Amiga 500]
* Single foil (with 19pin connector).
* Connections are closed when the key touches the contacts on the foil.* Amiga 500 Plungers work, but the central hole is a little bigger, a little adhesive putty allows the smaller prong on the keycaps to fit.* Not actually a membrane keyboard (since the foil doesn't move), seems to work more like the old PCB keyboard.

= Notes =
* According to soft968 the official language variants are: English, Spanish, French and Danish. And, presumably, English was official, too. 
* Although french/danish charsets don't support "|", even newer user manuals (like french cpc+ manual from 1990) still refer to RSX commands as "|CPM" and describe to press shift+"@" to get the "|".
