Declaring interest.
Update: I have 5 remaining A600 sets and 35 of a new color scheme for the A1200. I am including the Amiga "A" keys as part of each set.
Update: I now have the 3 keycaps to convert a US layout to a UK layout. Available in black or the white for the fullsize-layout a1200 set.
Update: New color schemes and keycaps available. Please see later post for photos.

3 UK keycaps: $12 $10 covering just my cost with the extra keycaps (this is if you want to change your US set to UK).
A600: $120 $110 $95 includes the Amiga "A" keys. US/UK
A1200: $150 $110 includes the Amiga "A" keys. US/UK, DE, FR

I have 20 sets of A600 keycaps and 20 sets of keycaps for full size Amiga keyboards (it's a build your own setup). All keycaps are US-English. I also have some PCBs in limited quantities. These keycaps are double-shot ABS plastic made in the US, so they were not cheap. I wanted to build Cherry style keyboards for my Amigas and I was pointed to a few repos, most importantly this one https://github.com/aeberbach. So I began talking to the people at "Pimp My Keyboard", aka "Signature Plastics" and after five months I have keycaps. Only had to order 23 more sets of each than I needed. You can also build a big box or a500 keyboard using this https://github.com/HenrykRichter/A500KB/ again I am not sure the plate will work out as it doesn't line up well with the MX style stabilizers. Plate mounted stabilizers should work fine, but you will need to custom bend one for the spacebar.

The Amiga keys are just "A"s I am having stylized Amiga keys, solid and outline, printed. They are not double-shot but printed on the same style key. That is going to take another four weeks and my cost for those is just under $500 for 50 sets, so right around $10 a set. When they come in I will gladly contact anyone who purchased a set and ask if you want to buy them for $10 plus shipping. I am not going to sell them now as I don't know what might happen between now and then.

All prices are plus shipping. I accept PayPal and Wise, if you use PayPal then you are responsible for the fees.

A1200 PCBs ENIG: $20 each
View attachment 2485072
A600 PCBs RED ENIG HASL or BLACK ENIG: $15 each, includes the plate printed by JLCPCB. The plates cost $12 each for me to get 10 printed but they don't really work that great. Your mileage may vary, you can build it without the plate.

** International Layouts **
I have been asked about international layouts. If I can get enough people (at least 10) that want a certain layout I can get pricing for the additional keys. Just for an example to add the UK keys to the set it would be about $10-15 extra for the 3 keys.

For layouts that change a large number of keys I would probably need to get 25 people or more so I could get that produced as a complete set. Again it would be more than the US layout just because of the order quantity, it would also have a longer lead time because I would need to work through the process with signature plastics.
Hi,
Do you have a set of caps in the newer colour please, and the extra caps to convert to UK keyboard.

How do I pay?

Thanks

The mk2 keyboard pcb on the GitHub (for the keys in this thread) - need the KS-33 switches.

Of the 3 different colours, which are the best to use on a new build Amiga 1200 keyboard please?
 
The switch is kind of a preference, but I think the "bananas" are very nice.
 
Feedback left. Keycaps unpacked today. Loving the CD32 theme set, but all black is really nice too. Tough choice which to use!
