Black space invaders board for a reasonable price:

It would look nice cleaned up with a black painted case, but I have too many unfinished projects.

New post [Keyboards] Help! Looking for an old PC keyboard.
Hello!
I'm looking for one keyboard, but I don't know the model and manufacturer so maybe someone can help me. So it is a standard mechanical keyboard for a PC XT/AT computer, made of metal, created before 1988. AT slot, the keys were rounded along the edges and quite shallow and close to each other.

Hi, I have a keyboard with NMB clicky switches (the one from "Space Invasion"), in ISO-IT (no Windows key, if that's important to you). Still NIB, just tested once.
