Fantastic... thanks. Now i’m thinking will it also work with a Spectrum? It might be nice for my TBBlue/Spectrum Next board and using the ZX81 ROM in a new case also.

If you turn 5 pin connector by 180deg and cross two address lines (A9 and A12) in 8 pin connector it should work with the Speccy.

Yes, but please note that our keyboard has two modifications: rubout / backspace and Function is available with only one keystroke.

I bought one at the German ZX-Team Gathering two weeks ago. PCB, second hand cherry keys and caps. Real ZX81 key caps are not available yet. I think there was an order list for bulk order. Plexiglass is not for order. Msch please correct me.

Sorry guys, I am very busy at the moment, but I will post some preorder infos soon.

We will offer complete sets with all parts including the printed keycaps.

@Martin:
For those who bought parts at the ZX-Team meeting, we will offer the missing parts too.
The acrylic parts are already available - please drop me a message if You want one set.

@McKlaud: I am shure it was great meeting in Poland. Is there a picture gallery available?
