There's been a number of previous projects to put a modern keyboard on Atari 8-bit computers. I don't think anyone's done it while preserving the original keycaps though (would love to be proven wrong). This is exactly what I did, by 3D-printing modified stems for Kailh Box Pink switches that take the Atari XE key footprint instead of the Cherry MX cross. Cheap resin printers can print at an amazing 50 micron resolution, which is enough to print very small parts with very fine details. Switch stems are such parts, and must be printed very precisely to reproduce the touch and feel from the…
