 Who knows what the heck they did but I know this they have cozies for your cold drink with a amiga design.... They claimed 2 years ago they had all the parts for preorders and to make a bunch of keyboards to sell. They out of the blue they claimed they ran out of PCBs and were ordering more then crickets, they don't even respond on facebook so I would say they are running on fumes..

Thanks for the response.

That’s unfortunate. Yet still showing on sale…..

 I go up once and a while to look but there is no change expect for some minor crap like amiga cozies to keep your beer cold.. If he really have all those parts paid for to do those keyboards you would think he would want to recoup some of his money but he has not even updated his blog in 2 years!!

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.
