New video! I'm checking out the new Commodore keycaps available from CBMSTUFF and put them on my #Sixtyclone #C64! Link: https://youtu.be/j5w161P4eB0 #RetroComputing #Commodore #VintageComputing

@janbeta this feels to me like you built it some months ago, maybe last year 😜
BTW, automatic subtitles sent me a shout out. I am a Rebecca but not of this campaign 😉

@rebeccafinn Haha, the automatic subtitles seem to have some secret plan there. 😅

@RobeeShepherd @janbeta Now that's a good looking keyboard!

Missed out on the kick- errr Indiegogo campaign, and can't wait for the caps to be available for us stragglers so I can pimp my black cased #C64C #Ultimate64Elite. Initially I was thinking translucent red for the main caps, if they will be available, but those blue caps of yours look so amazing that I'll have to wait for more backers to post theirs before making my mind up.

@avmakt @janbeta I did cheat a bit in this image and lit them with a side light, they are a lot darker on a black background. They’d look really good with underlit lighting, if someone makes a keyboard that does this I’d seriously consider it! I know Jan was hinting that this might be a future project from CBMStuff, this would tempt me a little if it wasn’t too expensive.

@janbeta that's looking awesome, my first thought was that the F keys in a translucent colour that matched the power LED would be spectacular.

A dark translucent green set on yours, maybe? Or a red F-key set with a red LED? I hope I can get myself a set like this one day for one of mine, I'd love to mess around with an era-appropriate backlighting control or something.

Changing keyboard background with a POKE to match the border colour or something would please me immensely!

@mike That sounds pretty cool indeed! I guess we are going to have to wait for the Blingboard to manifest. 😊

@janbeta Wow! Two years ago I've got some C64 and VIC for free and as they have few keycaps missing and I'm a ZX Spectrum user, I didn't have a clue how to solve it!
