  1. The Mobeet's keyboard is the best upgrade available with one important exception.....no keys available. I built one and am looking for a good home built way to label my own blank DSA key set.
  2. I'm interested in the low profile Atari 400 Replacement Kailh Choc V1/V2 version and noticed online that you only accept Visa. Any chance you could also do Paypal? Clint. Edit......orders in! Thanks for adding Paypal.
  3. One here in Canada if you strike out in the US.
  4. These measurements are very close to being the same.....a half mm. That's equivalent to something like 4 sheets of paper. It's not much and only shows a range of measurements you could possibly see. I say we split the difference and call it 19mm. ?
  5. A400 from bottom of port to table...18.75mm. Merry Xmas to all. ?
  6. I've seen a few revisions of Bkey keyboards.....and your layout is nothing I've seen before. The keys don't match the Thingverse model whatsoever. I don't even think your switches and space key conform to what I'm used to seeing on Bkey's. I took a shot of my removed Bkey for comparison.
  7. Same boat here with a missing "1" key. That cap on Thingverse is perfect except you'd need a resin printer to get the detail. Another thread awhile back mention using a cut down DSA key. I bought a set of Gray DSA's and can verify that this is a great option. A company here in North America make a "dye like" based spray for doing interior colour changes on plastic and leather automobile interiors. That product is made by SEM and is called Color Coat. What's holding me back from doing that is printing on keycap's. Anybody ever tried a desk top laser with powder paint as seen on the internet? Looks amazing and could be clear coated over with SEM compatible clear coat for durability. So all that...or is there a dead Bkey that somebody can part out?
  8. Missed seeing this...sorry. Here's a picture of what the '1' keycap looks like.
  9. I have a well used keyboard that had two issues. The worst issue was my letter "Y" key. It had a cracked contact....either from plenty of use or a botched repair. I was able to move it to the alternate "SHIFT" position. Other than that, the keys get dust/dirt and maybe even a little corrosion on the contact points. Cleaning seems to have largely fixed the other key.
  10. Very impressive work Candle!
  11. I'm back to using my stock 400 keyboard as my BKey has become somewhat unreliable. I'm kinda enjoying it at the moment, but eventually I'll fix the dead BKey and use it again. Something I'm looking for is a brown "1" key from the BKey that I'm missing. Doubt I'll ever find one......but I'll ask just in case.
  12. I should apologize for potentially hijacking this thread. Perhaps in the future, I could ask that requests not be made here in this thread. I promise I will create a new thread if and when I have something to offer. Regards, Cornchip ?
  13. I've noticed these BKey keyboards don't seem to be that reliable as time goes on. Having a faulty connect in a single key can lead to a missing row in the matrix. I've found this so annoying that I'm considering a project to create something I dub the 'reBKey A400' utilizing the original keycaps . I have it drawn in CAD, and have yet to mill the PCB.....so hold onto that dead BKey (or maybe sell?). BTW....if anybody should happen to read this, I'm looking for a "1 key' that is missing on my BKey. Anybody?
