From the project

keyboard For Amiga 600

Like my A1200 project (see my other repos) this is a mechanical keyboard for an Amiga computer.

To make one you need: - PCBs, which you can make by sending the contents of the 'fab' folder to your local PCB maker. - 3D printed parts: the STL files are in the STL folder. I used a Prusa MK3S 0.25mm nozzle, Urban Grey PETG. - 78 MX PCB-mount switches - 32-way FFC connector (Mouser part number 538-52044-3245) - 32-way ribbon cable (Mouser part number 538-15168-0400) - keyswitch stabiliser for Tab and Enter keys - one 3mm LED for CapsLock - keycaps
