He is based in Poland but sells for 15 euro per double layer mylar plus postage. I bought 2 x for 65XE/130XE for 150pln £28 last month). Took a couple of weeks to arrive in UK. Be sure yours is a double layer mylar. They are very good quality and very easy to fit, provided you don't let all the rubber plugs from ya keyboard fall out when taking it apart.

Have you taken it apart to look at the state of the mylar? Also if it's the option key that has failed and the keyboard is ok it may not be the mylar. There is relatively easy resistor mod you can do to piggy back resistors over the top of those in the circuit for the function keys. Might be worth it. I have loadsa resistors and happy to post some for the mod if you are comfortable with a soldering iron. PM me. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two types of mylar, make sure you order the right one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keanebg1 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hi folks, I am looking for a membrane for a XEGS keyboard, the rubber dome/folded over type mylar. Are these available anywhere? I am in Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 4 hours ago, mimo said: XEGS just uses one of the XE keyboards so the corresponding mylar is fine I don't think that is the case as the XE mylars have the function buttons whereas the xegs doesn't have function buttons on the keyboard, instead they are on the console itself. Also the connector interface presumably is different as the XE mylars have a flat ribbon connector whereas the xegs terminates at a bespoke plug. Maybe that is interfaced inside the xegs keyboard. I'll double check later but I think they are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Ok, it's a long time since I opened up an xegs keyboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
