Also, there are many different versions of the breadbox with the broad hooks: It exists with and without the C16-like port name inscriptions, it exists in white colour, and I've seen one white one where they tried to save on a few screws: the keyboard is held by plastic snap-in holders into the upper part of the box, and only two instead of eight screws are needed. The lower part of that box also has extra support mounts for the keyboard. I found a similar design for the C64C as well, but while it works well for the breadbox, the C64C feels very cheapish, it makes lots of noise while you type, and the box can be bent easily. > The above "at least" has to do with the cases (also small and broad hooks) and > the four different types of keyboards I found.

I think I've seen at least two, but probably three different keyboard versions in the C64 as well, not counting the various colours. The last one you describe is the normal C64 keyboard, but I also found at least one version that does not have springs under the keys, and has the cables attached to the card edge like thing you describe, but I'm not sure if it wasn't just a little extension of the board with just holes in it, not actual card edge contacts. I also think I have a second version of it, where the connection plate is located somewhere else, probably shifted to one side. At least one of them has the term "VIC 20" printed on the board.
