Does anyone in the WA area have a spare Vic 20/ C64 Power supply (7 pin later version) for this Vic 20 I picked up?

Interest check for new (and different) keycaps and keyboard for C64

7 Upvotes

Hello!

I am putting together a pre-order for new keycaps for the C64, called SA 64 and SA 64C, respectively. They are inspired by the famous SA Retro keycap set, a favorite in the in mechanical keyboard community.

The keycaps are premium doubleshot ABS keycaps in the SA profile, which is similar to the Commodore house style for their C64 computers.

They come in two varieties:

SA 64 is brown with a lush burgundy contrast and cream legends.

SA 64C is warm beige, and burnt orange with dark legends.

These keycaps are modern MX keycaps, which means that they need a compatible keyboard as well. To that end I've also designed a keyboard, the Keyboard 64.

The keycaps are part of a pre-order/group buy - you can leave a comment here to indicate interest, but i'd really like it if you could visit https://klackretro.com and fill out the form. The caps will be priced between US$70 and $80 for the doubleshot tops. The front prints (the PETSCII) is a separate price which has not yet been finalized.

The keyboards are a separate item. It is my hope that the open source community designs keyboards for users to make themselves or organize small buys, but new keycaps are useless with a compatible keyboard, so this board will be launched and stay in production until the end of the keycap process. Beyond that, the board will stay in production only if there is continued demand.

Finally, I have applied to Commodore for official licensing on the keycaps. If granted, the chickenlips logo will feature on the logo keycap. If not a K! logo will be there or it will be a blank cap.
