KS Campaign: New Compatible Keycaps for all Amiga Classic keyboards
Dear Amigans, The Team and I are honored to announce our next KS campaign after the previous one for the A1200 cases has been launched yesterday afternoon. We've been waiting for cases mass production to start so that we could unveil what we were working on for quite some time now! I also would like to share my personal thanks here to some key people who helped a lot to bring this new campaign alive and make it possible: - Bill/Josh/Marcel/Feub/Kay/Sekea/Henrik/Grace/Gwen/Eric/Marc/Charlie/Paul/Angela/Jerry/Marvin/Seppo/Ramon/Allister/Lukhash/Oliver (x2) Etc... There is so many awesome ppl out there who love the Amiga and the retro scene! Kudo guys! The Campaign Link https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...miga-computers Please note: Campaign currency is SGD (Singapore Dollars) - NOT USD - $1 SGD ≈ $0.71 USD - $1 SGD ≈ €0.66 I live & work in SG. Previous campaign was held by me and Friends in France while i had extended vacations there. That's explain why it was in € previously. Campaign informations: This new campaign has been tough to set up due to the fact that it is necessary to create specific keycaps molds. And for this fullset we need 18 of them (as much as profiles) Have a look at Fullset details:
A simulator has been set up on A1200.NET website: Keycaps & Cases Color Matching SIMULATOR Galleries with Regular colors and Special Edition keycaps is available: REGULAR COLOR KEYCAPS Gallery SPECIAL EDITION KEYCAPS Gallery Thank you for your support on both campaigns. This community is awesome and YOU are the ppl who are making Amiga great again!It is because of you that we now have new A1200 cases. And the team and I do have several other following plans to bring alive again what a lot of people thought were dead Cheers, Phil |

Well, its a quite a bit of money for a bunch of keys. But I decided to back it. I'm backer 166 whoohoo.. Hope they make it as my keys are ugly yellow. And waiting for the cases too but I was not a backer of that one (lack of funds) so I'll have to wait for amigastore to stock them.
I'm sure it will reach far enough for the Norwegian layout. |

Will they offer sets in sun-tan yellow color?
I could use a couple of sets but the price is a bit high (being shipped from outside EU doesn't help either) so I am not sure I would back it unless I was sure I could get a Danish layout.. |

Already backed, yep, it's expensive, but where else can you get new keys from?

Well, seeing as they do not take your money until is is successfully funded I went ahead and pledged for some sets, hoping that the DK layout will become available. It seems to take off rather quickly though so it seems very likely that it will reach the various stretch goals.

It wouldn't hurt if they threw in a few extra alt and Amiga keys, since they tend to run away first of all.

Why can't we just pretend the yellowing is the original color?

Some people prefer it yellow - they call it 'patina'.

Backed (for matching keys to my SE case)... + I need another set for a custom painted A500..
but.. I wonder.. why are the "standard colored" cases same color for all keys. The distinctive look of most popular Amiga keyboards always was the two-toned color scheme with F-keys, Shift, Ctrl, Enter etc.. with a darker tone than the standard keys. Did it look weird on the colored cases or is it simply too expensive / to much hassle to do all these additional combinations (I realize its a hell of a lot of possible combos once you start mixing different languages etc..) Edit: "Standard colored" meaning non-special edition color options. Last edited by eXeler0; 16 November 2016 at 00:52. |

Don't you mean "non-stand coloured"?

I think the keys look nice but seem very expensive
Also (for the lazy people) there should be an option to buy a whole working keyboard rather than swap all those keys. The special edition color sets should just be an option that anyone can order (for a premium), they would look cool with a standard black case. Last edited by NovaCoder; 16 November 2016 at 00:04. |

Regarding the lazy-man solution keyboard.. They's need to scout potentially hundreds of second hand but working Amiga keyboards, and also, decide which model to find.. A500, A1200, big box amigas etc.. And then do they give you a warranty on that used keyboard etc..? Not gonna happen, Im afraid. Although worry not, swapping keys is easier than you might think.. you can do it in 15 mins easy.. I've done it a couple of times ;-) http://www.exretro.com/galleries/com...rds/index.html @idrougge.. I edited previous post with clarification. It was not the best choice of words, but in short, I meant "standard color options as opposed to Special Edition color options". |

All photos of the standard keys I see are two-toned. White for alphanumerics and grey for control keys.

There are three types of keys, the standard tier (white+gray), standard tier colored (all keys the same color) and SE tier (colored, but different color on control keys).
