  • Jonathan Douglass Hi, I'm trying to find someone selling or 3d printing the c64 keycap adapters. I recently broke a few and I would just like to have a backup set but it's now March 9 2023 and it appears that no one is selling it on eBay.

    Hi Jonathan, I would recommend that you simply send the .STL file to a 3D printing store near you. The 3D printing file can be downloaded on the breadbox64.com website along with all the files needed for the MechBoard64 build. The link to the files can be found in the main text on top of this page. On the breadbox64.com website you'll also find instructions on what 3D printing technique that is recommended :o) Good luck with the project! \MtnBuffalo

  • I finished building my first one of these and it is awesome! Pulling apart and cleaning old C64 keyboards is not as much fun as it used to be, and it was never fun...I can only imagine writing papers, playing games, or typing in programs from magazines using this keyboard back in the 80s! Source the parts from his website and follow his directions and it is not a difficult build. Even the surface mount soldering was pretty easy, and this was my first time doing it after watching many videos. Great project!

    I've built three of them now, one with Perifractic's Lego keys and another to user with my MiSTer through a Keyrah. They work great!

  • Hi, Is this a complete kit on sale for the keyboard?......... Syed

    Hi Syed, no it is just for the PCB-part of the keyboard. You'll need to source a keyboard bracket, Cherry mx style microswitches, keycap adapters, keyboard stabilizers parts and keycaps yourself :)
