Hi,
Thanks for the kind words. The boards are almost ready to go, I have decided togo with the original layout for all 3 amigas to keep the compatibility. Keys should all be the same size as the original keyboards, and they can be custom printed when ordering so you have your "A" symbols etc, you can even have a C= logo on the blank keys if you want. Keys will be available from a USA seller/manufacturer and i will do up a shopping list for all keys needed, i will make a few but i will farm out a lot of the work. Maybe someone can start up a group buy for keys, i was wrong about there being 200 colours, there are only 142, ah well, shoot me later
Once i am done with these then i will open up my A2k and A4k keyboard and start that
Hi, they will be stabilised by using the plastic inserts and wire bar on keys >2.0
the strength of the 2 boards bonded by almost 100 keys is surprisingly good, the overall width of the joined plates is only 0.205" so there is not much play. I have also left a couple of centre slots that can be used for additional support so it will survive a lot of punishment.the top board is 0.064" thick (i'm an old geezer, i prefer inches lol)
once i get the keycaps in my hand i should have the final design for a500/a1200 in my hand also. I just finished the A600 version last night, all looks good, but ya never know. hoping for first batch to be out next month... prices i still dont know, it will be best i can make it (yah, i know, a kopout). It will be available in the UK also, will try to keep costs down as low as possible, no point in them shipped here and then Europe, doesnt make economic sense

Duzy laminat to i cena pewnie duza będzie. Jeden plus ze latwiej będzie mozna drutować jak się połamie albo coś.No własnie plan był aby nie było droższe (cieńszy laminat) jak folia a trwalsze i taśma możliwa do wymiany w razie uszkodzenia.
a planujesz może dać Panu kontre?Jeszcze się trafi z czymś, jestem cierpliwy.

Na oko w elecrow koło 45-60zł za płytke, to chyba jeszcze trochę za drogo bo jednak duzo zamienników dostępnych, no ale za pare lat jak juz padnie większość folii to bedzie dobry pomysł.

To do czego będą zwierać to zależy tylko od Ciebie. A jeżeli chodzi ci o to czy to są NO/NC switche to są to NO (zawsze otwarte/nie zwarte), a po wciśnięciu się zwierają.
