I picked up a Durgod Fusion Steam at a decent price, to use with my MiSTer. I like it so much that I've been using it with Linux too.

I swapped some keys round - the Super/Windows keys with Alt to get them in the proper places (this keyboard doesn't come with a RWindows or WinMenu key so I repurposed RCtrl); Ctrl to where Caps Lock is, and where it is supposed to be. Fn+Ctrl is now Caps Lock in case I need it.

I moved Home/End to Fn+PgUp and Fn+PgDn to free up a key (I rarely use Home/End anyway) which I mapped to Win+F12 (MiSTer's OSD on all cores).

I then wondered what I could do with the old LCtrl key. After some deliberation I decided a dedicated Compose key was best. This is where Compose was on some old keyboards (which also had Ctrl in the right place!)

I ordered some custom keycaps and made my Super/Win keys into Amiga keys. Didn't fancy trying to colour match the keys, so made Ctrl/Amiga/Amiga blue (Amiga owners will know why I decided those three keys should be the same colour as each other) and (MiSTer) Menu and Compose green.

Perfect Amiga/MiSTer/Linux keyboard!

Ouu, I want Amiga keys on mine! You left a crucial link out of your post :)

ctrl-A-A would be a nice combo to hibernate...

Ah, yes, didn't want to look like an advertisement ๐Ÿ™‚

They are from https://www.techtoppers.co.uk/ (individual keycaps) - but you have to custom design them. I nicked the Amiga key images from a GitHub which had a full keyboard layout. If you can't find them I can share my EPS files - send me a DM.
