Thanks for the Photos!

However, my question is not completely answered :) -- I guess, i was not clear enough -- sorry for that, I am also no native speaker :) From the photos it seems "White and Beige" is the combination that is most close to the original Amiga keyboard colors? Or is it "White and Dark Grey"?

I think, the photos show only "White and Beige"? Nevertheless, that seems pretty match the orignal Amiga keyboard colour combination, so I am going to choose that one, i guess :)

Thanks a lot for this project! I hope the target of 6000 Pounds will be reached!

Hello.

That is a bit difficult to say, from memory, some were quite brownish, some beige some closer to a grey.

White and Beige look close to the original, the Dark Grey and White look really nice too though.

We need a bit more publicity...

It might be worth you promoted this on the GeekHack forums, they're a mechanical keyboard community, there's likely to be at least a few old Amigans amongst them... They quite often have group-buys organised on there for short runs of keysets.

That is a good idea...in the meantime I've created a page on Facebook.

Someone on English Amiga Board asked for a reward with Commodore logo key instead of Amiga key (like in first A500 keyboards).

Could it be done?

@kyle

It can be done of course...but this would require Commodore's permission.

Rewards #8 and #9 are:

"make me a single key", so anyone can send me their design as long as they have permission or it's an original design, photo, logo etc...

I begin to consider to back your KS for 1 or 2 "your own, special key"

I know that it's expensive for a little piece of plastic but It is fun.

1) of course these keys are easily pluggables in a x500 keyboard (the most excellent keyboard that I ever used, really), right ?

2) Is the key can be the big "Enter" key ?

3) own picture for 25£ key is printed in color, but how many colors ?

4) and finally, if we sent you the picture, are you able to send back a preview (as picture file) before the print ?
Just to be sure that the picture will not be too much complex for a print on a little plastic object.

Thank you for your reply.

Many thanks.

1) The key caps fit any keyboard which uses Cherry MX switches including the X500 Evo's keyboard (the Ducky Zero).

2) If you want...I'll print it on the Enter key...it should be ok.

3) The printer will print to over 300 dpi with as many colours as possible doing dithering where necessary.

Please look here:

and here towards the end where all the colour keys are:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/505470364/amiga-inspired-key-caps-for-mechanical-keyboards

It's pretty accurate.

4) I'll asses it and let you know of course.

Thank you.
