New video! I finally found a RAM Upgrade that works with my Atari 65XE, the Ultimate1MB. Also doing some retrobrighting in this episode.

Ceremoniously "drawing" the winner of the #DecentXE keyboard kit. All participants are going to receive an email from me shortly. 😊

All new mechanical keyboard is in! Now I just have to rework the rest of the machine to look equally as stunning. 😅 #AtariXE #DecentXE #Atari8bit #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Thankfully, the (many) tiny surface mount components (LEDs, resistors and flat flex connector) are already pre-populated by the PCB manufacturer (PCBWay, anyone?) ;) Still have to solder the switches myself though so there’s going to be all the fun of repetitive soldering meditation. #DecentXE #Atari #InTheLabDoingStuff #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #AtariXE

Instructions are very concise and there‘s many options to build. You can even continue to use the original Atari keycaps with little adapters and still have MX compatible switches. Very neat! It’s also backlit! #DecentXE #Atari #InTheLabDoingStuff #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #AtariXE

Bertrand and Jesse who both worked on the project were kind enough to send me two kits to check them out and make a video. I’m going to build one and give the other one away. (As soon as I assembled one and made said video). :) #DecentXE #Atari #InTheLabDoingStuff #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #AtariXE

Looks like I’m going to build yet another new keyboard for an elderly computer (this time, it’s the #DecentXE mechanical keyboard replacement for the #Atari XE series). This is going to take a couple of hours, I guess! Fun! #InTheLabDoingStuff #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #AtariXE
