Say ¡Hola to the Spanish Evo...

With the "gaming" WASD keys, new updated colour Boing Ball and the two red "A":

Thanks. Tell me about it...same here...

With the colour Boing Ball and a "special" red/orange "A" - a nod to some Amiga 2000s...

X500 Evo with the Swedish (Finnish) layout - I had to compress the images as I'm running out of space...

Update on the X500 Evo cases.

White X500 Evos.

Inside the box:

An A4 instructions sheet, the assembled case with a 16x PCI Express flexible riser card, the X500 Evo key ring, some fixing clips.

I've installed the 2x50mm plus one 40mm rear and one 40mm side silent fans, they can be removed easily, flipped over to change the airflow etc...

The black silicone mounts for the fans can also be removed if required.

Also installed a white 3.5" USB card reader and slim Samsung DVD-RW with white bezel and slim SATA cable, both fixed to two custom made brackets.

The entire case can be completely disassembled, down to every component to adjust/modify anything you want.

If, for example, you require to adjust how tight the sides are all is needed is to relax/screw the bolts, if you want to replace the LEDs or the power switch (this is hidden under the right hand side of the cover) you can do that by removing the low to medium strength hot glue I've used etc...

The mechanical keyboard is fixed with two custom supports, these are also vertically adjustable with four screws underneath.

There are 6 mounting holes for mini-itx/flex atx motherboards and 2 extra mounting holes for half mini-itx boards (FPGAArcade Replay for example), these are also vertically adjustable.

Initially, due to the size of the mechanical keyboard I only envisaged the use of one SSD/HDD (don't use HDD...use SSDs!) but I managed to find the space for a second drive under the keyboard. It might be crowded for two SSDs and cables but at least you can decide where to position one of them.

Like the X500 Plus the Evo also has one expansion slot for low profile cards, custom made low profile bracket and L shaped fixing clamp and clip.

The keyboard has a four pin internal USB header. Make sure the keyboard is connected the right way, usually red is to pin number 1.

The fixing screws are black, you can change them if you want or spray paint them in white.

Most Black version are nearly ready, still waiting for the second batch of black keys, each one with its own language layout...

Expect an email from me asking for your delivery address soon.
It takes about 3-4 hours to assemble one...a bit more patience.

Thank you.

With Italian language layout.





Dual Greek/American language layout.

Just a quick, shameless plug...

Thanks.

1 more day then I'll order them for anyone who's expressed interest.

Thanks!

Hi,

As I'm getting ready to order the second and final batch of the full set of Amiga keys I designed for the X500 Evo case I thought this would be the only good opportunity to squeeze a few extra sets in for those who want just the full set of keys for their mechanical keyboards and consequently keep the cost down.

Photos and compatibility with mechanical keyboards are throughout this thread:

Mechanical keyboard for the X500 Evo

If interested email me:

amigarulez@hotmail.com

with your choice of colour: all black or white and light beige, choice of colour Boing Ball/MOS butterfly or not, your name, language layout and full delivery address with a phone number for the courier.

Full set of Amiga keys for mechanical keyboards: £42 (GBP) + delivery (delivery shouldn't be much, they are very light).

No moaning accepted as they are well below production cost and I'm also absorbing tax and postage to me on all of them.

Please let me know as soon as possible as I'm intending to order them soon.

Thank you.

I've just finished the Boing Ball and MOS keys for the mechanical keyboards as requested by some of you. They are in full colour (with shading) and printed (not adhesives) at over 300dpi:



A big thank you goes to Hyperion for supporting this project and Johannes for general MOS advice.

A colour Boing Ball on light beige key is also available.

And this is the white one:

X500 Plus white

Thanks!

Felice Anno Nuovo!
Happy New Year!

Just a quick off-topic question...

Now that the bounty for Odissey has been completed who is officially porting it to AmigaOS 4?

Thanks!
