+Larry Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Did you get your pictures posted? I don't see any link, and just your thumbnail. Interested in your keyboard. Is it more like an Atari keyboard, or just a PC/Windows keyboard? Wireless?Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a PC keyboard with custom key caps as the EclaireXL uses a USB keyboard. This keyboard is wired but the key caps should work with any keyboard that has cherry-type keys and uses the same layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xebec Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Stick looks a little short - but the keyboard is beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Is this a photo or a render? It's a real device - he had the keycaps printed. Not sure where he got the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevymad Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Photobucket is charging now for 3d party picture hosting. There are dead links all over the web now. Computer looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yup. Never liked photo hosting services. Had similar experiences 10 and even 15 years ago. One little change, one stroke of the pen, and poof! It's all gone. I never quite fully understood why people had to use a cloud service anyways. Was there some gift from god involved? Just use the forum's own file & picture upload function. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClausB Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Nice! Would you consider selling sets of your 400-style keycaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
