How about a CD32 keyboard inspired one?

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 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:

If I want to buy the Workbench 1.3 limited keyboard for my Playstation 4/Playstation 3 how much would it cost and where can I buy it now? I prefer it wired because it is cheaper....thanks in advance.


By the way I want the keyboard to be workbench 1.3 limited please. Also, can you add power LED and disk drive LED for WinUAE? Can I have the power LED to be red and the disk drive LED to be green colored?

Thanks in advance.

I think the limited WB1.3 keyboard looks great.  I always hated the 1.3 color scheme, but for some reason the colors look great on that keyboard.  

Why are you centering the boing ball instead of kicking it to the top left like all the other keys though?  Looks out of place to me...

[TheDaddy]

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.

2/5 of the Limited Editon WB1.3 left...and 28 days left to go.

[TheDaddy]

Only 1 left of the Limited Edition WB1.3!

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

[TheDaddy]

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

By swapping the two keys around.

[TheDaddy]

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

[kolla]

Ok, so it is left to the user to figure it out.

[TheDaddy]

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.

[TheDaddy]

Bumping this one up...

[TheDaddy]

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

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

Many thanks!
