A spare KIM-1 keypad is even rarer than a KIM-1 itself. With this guide you can build a reasonable replica of the keypad.

Thanks to the work of Eduardo Casino (the PCB) and Pete (peo2000 on forum64.org) I have published a DIY guide for a good looking KIM-1 keypad replica.

@hansotten Nice! Looks like a variant of the keypads I built and shared a few years ago: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5596116

@hansotten Never ever having had the chance to use a real one I wonder: which would be closer to the original haptics, using those tactile switches or the rubber domes from the two donor keypads?

@bigby Looks familiar. My ralph02 KIM-1 replica has one of these. Description also on my website,
No microswitches indeed. Looks nice too. The width of the 'Eduardo' variant is more like the original.
