I've created a new case and key caps for the mechanical keyboard PCB
https://www.pcbway.com/project/sharepro ... oard.html). Just a bit of fun to test out my new 3D Printers multi-colour capability.

If I hadn't already bought one of Lee Smith's excellent Mechtrum cases, I might be interested. Though a downside to the Mectrum case is, it won't allow an Interface 1 to be plugged-in...

Yeah they are very nice and a lot more professional, especially the keycaps, and I looked at it myself but was out of stock so decided to make my own. Mine is a simple print your own version and you will have to remember what each key does
Working with IF1 was a must for me as I now only really use this for loading games etc... with my MicroDrive emulator. One of the reasons I went with a flat design, as well as making it easier to print, is the IF1 already puts it at an angle.

I've updated my replacement case model introducing a curved edge as I found the edges a little sharp for prolonged use. I've also added some extra supports for the keyboard to stop it flexing and tweaked the colours (prefer the red logo).
