Design68: A 65% replacement keyboard using AppleDesign controllers

[mg.man]

I'm only building ONE. One with transparent switches and transparent keycaps for my MacEffects clear SE/30 build.

@wottle Did you build it? If so, can you post some pics? Any PCBs left over?

I did. I ended up using a slightly different keyboard, a Novice 68. It had two advantages. It had a lighter gray translucent case and it had little feet to increase the angle of the keyboard. Unfortunately, it was a lot more work to get everything to fit and to get it secured somewhat reasonably. I posted about it here:

Here are some photos of the finished product. I’m pretty happy with it, although a clear acrylic mount plate and fully clear case would be awesome.



I do have a few extra PCBs if you need one.
