@apsturk

These are not dual layered so the effect once installed on a mechanical keyboard with LEDs looks like this:



and like this:



I can still get my hands on these keyboards:

Ducky Zero
Ducky Zero Zone (all LEDs) you can see this one on the Kickstarter page, I've uploaded a video and some photos.

Scroll down to photos #7, #8, video, #10 and #11.

Now that is awesome :D so tempted to buy... but don't have a keyboard to use them on.


Hi Lurch,

Thanks...I finished the WB1.3 Limited Edition yesterday. :)

I can provide a USB, mechanical keyboard together with the full set of keys.

It's all here:

Thanks Kremlar.

The Boing Ball in the middle was a decision made a long time ago (just like Windows and some Linux keyboards) but if you want I can make one like this:



And add it as a Rewards on the Kickstarter page which, by the way, is starving of pledges and slowly coming to a standstill. ;)

So, how is the swapping of alt and amiga keys done?


By swapping the two keys around.

If you mean in software...I know that some people use Allkeys to remap them. :)

You can mount the keys the way you want, I prefer the two "A" at the extremes of the space bar, then map the keys...but that is just me. :)

All the Limited Edition WB1.3 have gone...

They are now only available (4 left) already applied to a mechanical, USB keyboard.

Many thanks! :)

Many thanks to everyone who keeps supporting this project and spreading the word. It's just amazing, thanks again.
