Schneider Colour Personal Computer
German CPCs have normal english keyboards. The keyboards (or case) is only different in so far that it is labeled Schneider instead Amstrad, and the 664/6128 have german colour tables on the disc drive. And, the keys are gray, unlike the more colorful Amstrad ones.

From around 1988, german CPCs were sold directly by Amstrad, not by Schneider. Unknown if these were normal "english" models, or if they still had Schneider-style keyboards...?
