Blingboard64 is a replacement keyboard for the Commodore 64 / 64C. It was offered through a crowdfunding campaign last year.

The printing cost for the keycaps ended up being more than double of what was budgeted during the campaign. To offset the difference in printing costs without paying more out of pocket, the project manager is offering a pre-order of 60 additional Blingboard64 units at the campaign price. That means you can pre-order and pay the same price as folks who backed the crowdfunding campaign last year. After these 60 units are gone, the product will be sold at a higher price.

Thx for link, the prices? Ihave seen A1200 replacement keyboards that cost more.

@MarcioD

The increased production costs were in part due to a certain person gerrymandering with tariffs.

Until that point, the project had been costed and accounted for pretty well, but the project owner couldn't realistically absorb all of the increased costs.

It is good to see the project getting close to the end though.
