Sorry for confusing information.yerzmyey wrote:Hmm, there is too much on the profile. I'm totally confuse what is what.
What is better, Pokemon - the mat (along with the normal rubber keyboard) or the standard membrane?
What does work better? What will "live" longer?
Yes, they are available as boards, sets (assembly kits) and complete keyboards in two versions.
So in the moment I would prefer the 48K-KDLXS with the printed cover (membrane) and the tactile switches (the one you see in the picture you linked).
There is no really experience in long life in reality but this should last forever, hopefully.
The switches are 500.000 keypresses (each switch) - not 100% sure about the printed cover with mechanical stress.
Anyway I can promise that you really have a nice keyboard type feeling and very easy to type. I love it.
And it depends on how much you type - just pressing LOAD and use the joystick or if you do quite more.
About the rubber mat version - I did some tests with the rubber mat and the 48K-KDLXS as well and this would be even better than the 48K-KDLXR but this comes with a price - it is a bit to high for the face place. So I am thinking of maybe producing a second, very small board with 0,6 or 0,4 mm height which would fit better into the case with the higher ALPS switches and the printed cover on it and then the rubber mat and faceplate.
But not decided 100% now - depends on the sale of the other boards (48K-KDLXS) as well a bit or the general interest in a "longlife keyboard" for the rubbber mat. We will see ...
