I'm only building ONE. One with transparent switches and transparent keycaps for my MacEffects clear SE/30 build. @wottle Did you build it? If so, can you post some pics? Any PCBs left over? š | Posted by: wottle on 2025-05-07 20:25:12
@wottle Did you build it? If so, can you post some pics? Any PCBs left over? š I did. I ended up using a slightly different keyboard, a Novice 68. It had two advantages. It had a lighter gray translucent case and it had little feet to increase the angle of the keyboard. Unfortunately, it was a lot more work to get everything to fit and to get it secured somewhat reasonably. I posted about it here:

Here are some photos of the finished product. Iām pretty happy with it, although a clear acrylic mount plate and fully clear case would be awesome.
 
I do have a few extra PCBs if you need one. | Posted by: mg.man on 2025-05-07 22:22:20 Nice one! Thanks for sharing - will ck out the TD link. š | | < 5 |
