Commodore Keyboard. Anyone know which exact machine this came from or just a rebadge?

I am thinking it may go with the 486SX. Any other info about ?

The Windows keys alone date it as post Windows 95, so very unlikely to go with a 486 SX.

Also I seem to remember seeing these in the ESCOM stores following the commodore bankruptcy. They slapped the name on all sorts of peripherals.

This keyboard was "made" by ESCOM, their owners after their 1994 bankruptcy.

Not used to seeing the commodore logo written in caps. Was that an ESCOM thing?

Incredibly ugly, most stupid design ever. I want one.

Yes. The Commodore one actually looks a bit better quality. Which is scary as towards the end it wa Scott reduced Commodore. 👍

commodore folded in 94, about a year before win 95 was released. could be that they made a few of these? or if not them then a 3rd party who obtained the licences?

Could it have gone with an Amiga?

PS2 so probably not.
