Amiga Marketplace / Re: Amiga on the lake Kipper2K Keyboards

I ordered one when they were listed as A500 replacement keyboards. I chose black keycaps. That was Feb 2019. I checked in Sept 2019 and got no response. I asked again in December and got a terse reply saying "We send them in order." I harassed them again in October 2021 demanding an answer or I would cancel or take it up with my bank. I tried to be gracious through 2020 with COVID but there was just no communication. (Unlike the replacement cases and Mitsumi caps many of us waited for from A1200.net.) Three days after that email I got a notice of shipment. What I got works well and feels nice but the keycaps are a dark gray not black and the legends are cheap and slightly discolored white out of the box. Someday I will change out the two rows of three red and green small rectangle LEDs for something custom to make them look nicer and more authentic.

I would not do business with them again.

Good to know. Thanks.

Had they been avaliable with swedish keys I would get a pair instantly. At least if it fits inside the A4000 keyboard case.

  You told me I had to pay a extra 22 pounds due to tariffs which I agreed to, I asked you in 3 or 4 different emails begging you to bill me and I would pay you the difference, I kept the emails I sent you asking you to bill me. You several times stated you would take care of it the next day and you never did. This was before you showed up to the amiga feast in Germany which you were selling the amiga case there in question. You seem to have no time to answer your emails but you sure had time to go on vacation at the end of DEC which I asked you if you even had anymore of the purple cases left and you just went ahead and cancelled my order. You then refunded my money after 8 fridge moths. Oh and by the way the entire time you were selling them on ebay over in the states so please I can post some of the emails that I sent you to prove my side of the story... SAD very SAD but anybody that does a preorder with you is totally crazy because I have been in contact with at least 4 other amiga users in the states that you either never responded to their emails and they had to demand their money back because you sold out of the cases instead of asking for the xtra money to cover the tariffs..

Your 100% correct on everything you mentioned above and appreciate you adding the extra details. To clarify the ebay sales, they were managed by the Ebay Shipping Program which were quicker to manoeuvre in managing the US Tariffs and creating a process where they were included at the point of payment.

Every business has been affected by the US tariffs with many simply not selling goods to the US including a few Amiga Dealers as you have found out by speaking to them. However not only has that been resolved when sending from within the UK, I am in the process of setting up a US service that goods like cases, keyboards and keycaps are sent from within the US which will make them cheaper for the US market, so exciting times so keep an eye out!

By all means email me if you feel I have missed something.

Thanks

Steve

Oooh that does look good. Out of my price range at the moment but very close to what I built for my A500 in a Checkmate case. (Got a dead A2000 keyboard, painted the case and very gently modified it to take an A500 keyboard.)

New Level Inspired by STRYX Thanks to principekento!



I wanted to share a cool update about the project.
A few days ago, principekento left a comment that really stuck with me:

"I’ve been following your work with interest, and as a parting tip I’d love to see something inspired by my old Amiga memories: for some reason your creation reminded me of Psygnosis’ STRYX. I could totally imagine a zero‑gravity section with a jetpack, handled just like in that Psygnosis game!!"

That reference instantly sparked something.
So I’ve decided to take his suggestion and add a brand‑new level inspired by exactly what he described: a zero‑gravity area, complete with jetpack controls, capturing the vibe of STRYX while adapting it to the style of my game.

I would go with some one else, Steve does not fill his preorders. I know of at least 4 guys and I who PREORDERED the purple A1200 cases that he never shipped our orders, he was hard enough trying to get him to response. He sold the cases on ebay and at the germany fest in the Fall.  So ordering this keyboard from him is a throw of the dice GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks for the post, unfortunately due to the US tariffs I had to cancel the order due to the amount of non payments (I did make that clear on the email) due to non collections, bounce backs and I had a handful where the courier asked me for payment and the goods were still delivered.

That has been resolved now and shipping to the US includes the tariff and the customs info is sent digitally.

As you know tariffs and customs are beyond our control and can be introduced without warning etc.   


Regards
