Updated the add-ons:

Now you can add the extra transparent/tinted windows/key caps cost to your pledge.

Here is a video of a full system assembly (mini-itx board, SSD, flex-atx power supply, full size, dual slot ATI Radeon gaming graphics card, full size mechanical keyboard:

It is actually two Kickstarters in one as you can also pledge just for Amiga inspired key caps
for mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX switches.

Please forward the above link to anyone you believe might be interested or
websites and social media where you think we could gather some support.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

In the last few months I’ve had requests for more Amiga inspired key caps for mechanical keyboards as seen here:

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... p?topic_id=39300&forum=16

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... p?topic_id=39261&forum=16

As you probably already know, it took me quite a long time to make them and convert them to the following languages:

Italian, French, French-Canadian, French-Belgian, dual Greek-American, Danish, Swedish/Finnish, German, Spanish, Russian, Serbian-Latin, American (both ANSI and ISO standards).

So this Kickstarter campaign is for all of you who for a reason or another haven’t had a chance to get a set during the X500 Evo campaign but also for anyone who already has a set and would like a spare one or for retailers…basically everyone…

The keys come in the usual Amiga-like colour combination; White and Beige but you can also pledge for the all Black one, the new White and Dark Grey, any of the colours below or even a combination of:

White, Beige, Dark Grey, Orange, Green, Lilac, Yellow, Pink, Red, Light Blue.

To spicy things you can even have your own, single key made on any of the above coloured caps, so, for example, you’d like to get the picture of a cat, a penguin, a banana, your face, your pet on a single key in white, black or full colour, just send me the drawing and I’ll do my best to print it on a single key for you.

You need to have permission to use whatever you send me or it must be your original design.

I've always enjoy getting input and suggestions and allow people to get involved so a few Limited Editions will be made based on your preference for colours/design.

Pledge for the Limited Edition sets (AROS and MorphOS, more Limited Editions sets will be available later; A-EON, Hyperion's AmigaOS, ACube Systems etc...) and you will participate with suggestions regarding the look, design and colour combination which will be unique to each Limited key caps set. Once all the suggestions have been collected and the design finalised and agreed on they will be made.

And finally if you also want a full size mechanical keyboard with your full set already applied, ready to enjoy then just head towards one of the available pledges.

So if you want a set in your language layout, a spare set in your language layout for your second keyboard or a spare set for your X500 Evo this is the time to go to my Kickstarter page and pledge.

I aim to have them all delivered to you by November. Please be patient...it's a lot of work.

To summarise:

New batch of key caps (as cheap as they can possibly be).
In your language layout.
New colours to choose from.
Multiple buys are allowed.
Limited Editions using your input/suggestions.
Full size mechanical keyboards with the key caps already applied, ready to enjoy.
Single key loveliness.


Thank you.

Pledged...bring it to Amiga!

@TSK

That is lovely...

This, I believe, is the first µA1 X500 Evo, powered by Amiga OS4.1.6.

And some nice comments from its happy owner:

"The X500 case wasn't cheap, but the thought and detail that's gone into this case is, IMHO, outstanding. For a low volume run, I think the price is more than worth it! Loriano has done an outstanding job, I am overly pleased with the outcome. Whilst I had no doubts about the X500, I did about OS4.1. But I have to say, Im actually very pleased with OS4.1. Ity does everything I want it to, and its still the AmigaOS I know "

Hopefully more photos soon.

Many thanks.

OK

If it's a U.K. based event I would suggest Birmingham or surrounding area, where I don't know.

It can be reached from anywhere in the country being in the middle of it and it's well connected.

Usually when events are in London it's more difficult from people from the North and it's expensive to get there.

A couple of quick snaps of the only black X500 Evo with the full set of beige and white Amiga keys with the Danish layout...going to Denmark :
