June Gothem is up!  Although it is not live (because it is still May), I will enable tomorrow morning.  Looks like a good one!  Enjoy.

Blingboard64 - New keyboard for the Commodore 64
« on: June 18, 2024, 06:42:03 am »
If you're in the market to replace your old, broken C64 keyboard, check out this campaign:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keyboard-for-your-commodore-computer#/


The campaign originally ended May 31, 2024, but has been re-opened for a limited time due to overwhelming demand from Commodore fans worldwide.

In addition to the Blingboard64 keyboard replacement, also check out the BlingBox on the same page, which is a standalone keyboard that can be attached to SX-64, C128D, Amiga, PC, MiSTer, BMC64, etc.

The printing cost for the keycaps ended up being more than double of what was budgeted during the campaign.  To offset the difference in printing costs without paying more out of pocket, the project manager is offering a pre-order of 60 additional Blingboard64 units at the campaign price.  That means you can pre-order and pay the same price as folks who backed the crowdfunding campaign last year.  After these 60 units are gone, the product will be sold at a higher price.
