Hi all! Last year at VCFMW I picked up an Atari 800 and in restoring it I was faced with the issue of a broken, pretty much non-repairable, stackpole keyboard. I found this Mechanical Keyboard and decided to go that route as it lets me re-use my keycaps and keep the same classic look to the machine.
As you may know when you have a PCB created you have to get at least 5 (can't order just 1) so I thought why let these other 4 go to waste? I went ahead and built all 5 of them and tested them out on my Atari 800.
The keyboard is a drop-in replacement, already includes all of the required 3D printed parts all you need is a screwdriver (and your Atari 800 keycaps). So, it's important to keep in mind that this does not come with keycaps, this is intended for people wanting to upgrade their original keyboard and re-use your original caps. (although nothing is stopping you from using MX keycaps if you want, I suppose).
I'm asking $65 (USD) + shipping (from Cleveland).
I put together some installation instructions (although installation is fairly straight forward) and there's some photos in that PDF if you want to check it out.
P.S. I posted this on Atari Age as well and so far have sold all but 1 of the keyboards. Per the conversation on that forum I have included the 1.5u and 2u adapters for Hi-Tek caps as well.
