When I did my custom QL case, I just used water transfers for model kits.

And it works. Still not happy with those decals, but they'll do for now.

Hi Andrew,

Looks good, any chance of a photo of the keyboard circuitry?

The arrows look good and the keyboard fits perfectly like it was made for it. Nice one. Did you fit the two transistors for the single key press or is that still on your to do list?

No - i fitted a microswitch under the backspace keycap, so CTRL and LEFT are on different switches, but pressed by the same keycap. It's a quick and dirty solution, but it works.

It's just a mess of wrap wire - i'm not handy with a soldering iron
