QL keyboard modification.
Mechanical switches, original QL key caps.
Need some works to cutting the original top case.

Tetroid hits the mark again!

Thought you'd been quiet lately Tetroid! Any idea how much that will cost? And will you be back offering your usual products soon?

Hi Tetroid, happy to read you again, your disappearance from Sellmyretro had worried me.
Great work Tetroid. I want one too. I find very intesting the system that you had use to connect the keyboard to the QL motherboard. It looks like the solution of the old SPEM system 2. Only this single piece could be interesting to connect PS2 keyboards (with a bit of work) directly to the QL motherboard, if you don't have Aurora or superhermes or any other inteface.
Currently I use a superhermes to connect a PS2 keyboard to my QL system but I'am afraid that sooner or latere It will break.

Absolutely great job! Will you sell this? Can german key caps be used as well?

I think, all QL are mechanical the same, it's just the ROM, which defines the keys.

BTW: Is that an Aurora board, where the "Aurora Interface" is plugged into?

Yes, this is looking really good - the QL keyboard has long been an issue!

I am sorry, I cant't answer about the price. This is first version, it need some small corrections ( sizes and position of parts correction ), I will make the secont test version and then I can tell about the prices.

About german an possible US versions, unfortunately, I have no any german version of top case, I hope it have the same sizes and mounting holes positions. Especially I interesting to see bottom side of Enter key and Space bar, hope it identical to UK versions, Space bar need small revision.
