The PCB is cut to size and the missing tracks have been fixed... if is fully functional with a PS/2 to USB adapter. I also moved the caps lock and ...

Sooooo many things and so little time... :oops: :roll:

I finally posted the beginning of the mod of the bottom part in post 2 !

The next post will speak about making both parts of the keyboard perfect with some spray filler, to smooth out the last small defects... but that is still in progress and ...

It was on sale near my home, I bought it for 15€ :o

They're AZERTY layout from Belgium which is what I use daily... but not all key match the actual BE layout :cry:

Ok thanks, that's not what I'm looking after

- 3x G81-1274SPF (Nixdorf green logo), everything but caps

Shipping should be around 15€ for Europe for one board, around 20 for two.

Hi ramnes,

I'm looking for parts to build my own keyboard.
Would any of those have a plate compatible with MX switches?
