Teclado para ZX-Uno

[Hark0]

Hombre, para gastarte un dinero en unas teclas.... casi lo compras "tuneado"... pero estoy contigo, demasiada pasta... si sale más caro que el ordenador en si mismo... XD

[JULIO]

las cherry mx son lo mejor que hay, el único defecto que es un clickiteclado, o sea ruidosillo.

A mi me encanta el sonido a "mecánico"... odio estos que tenemos todos de "goma"...

Este, señores a mi me gusta un montón, ya solo le falta la banda de 4 colores...

The trouble is there's actually no space around the keys on the Vortex Poker II for the color swish to go on, although I guess you could add it to the front of the case. It is PS/2 compatible though.

Big part of PC keyboards have problem with controll games with keys 12345(sinclair 2), QWERT(for example ultimate games as PSSST,etc..),QAOPM,QAOP+SPACE,cursor keys + 0.
PC keyboards use different keyboard matrix than ZX membrane and often is problem press parallel more than two keys in ZX games.
Result of keyboards testing is here:

For example keyboards with impossibility press Q,P,SPACE or Q,P,M (up+right+fire) is not good for games.
Kempston emulation on cursor keys can help, but some users/players prefer keyboard before cursor keys (for best layout).
This MX CHERRY keyboard need test..

A couple of things to clarify...

The "purist" keyboard is a layout I came up with for the Vortex Poker II keyboard. There are still stocks of the non-backlit version on sale. It uses Cherry MX key-switches and a set of replacement key caps can be ordered from WASD keyboards. They can deal with vector art in SVG format and their printing process has a resolution of 600 dpi. They also offer full color printing. I do think the Spectrum Plus legends would work better on an Apple Mac style chiclet keyboard, but none of the ones I have seen support PS/2.

I like mechanical key-switch keyboards although I disagree that Cherry MX are the best. I have an IBM type-M buckling spring keyboard and an Alps II keyboard and my personal preference is the Alps II, followed by buckling spring, followed by Cherry MX blue. For people that don't like the clicking, WASD keyboards sells O-rings that can be fitted to the keys to stop them bottoming out and thus reducing the noise.

The keyboards from WASD keyboards and the Vortex Poker II both support PS/2 (although the Poker II doesn't come with an adapter). The WASD keyboards ones support N-key rollover over PS/2 so they will work for all the weird keyboard combos on the Spectrum. I can't find any details if the Poker II supports N-key rollover, but it's probably worth searching the keyboard section on geekhack.org.

Me gustan más esos nuevos tonos, tengo ganas de que lleguen y pegar las etiquetas en mi teclado.

[jepalza]

¡Que guai! Yo ya he pagado mi "remesa", así que, a esperar que me llegue....

[Hark0]

Mañana voy a por ellas y a Correos...

Ese portatil va a quedar de lujo....

Hmmm

he de preguntarle al serigrafista qué sabe de "tinta electrónica", igual nos podríamos currar un teclado con dos cartulinas ojo...


NOTA PARA LOS POSEEDORES DE KITS ZX-UNO (prototipos):

He hecho una tirada de prueba de los adhesivos para los teclados. Como son pruebas solo he puesto en marcha 4 que ya están repartidos...

Los demás NO SUFRAIS, en cuanto Antonio / Mcleod / Jepalza confirmen que las teclas son correctas y que todo es Ok, pondré en marcha los 5 teclados restantes... (1 zxuno está medio frito, así que no lo cuento).

En breve ADHESIVOS PARA TODOS!

So I checked. There's no duty payable on importing computer keyboards to Europe, only luxury tax (VAT). The rate is 20% in the UK or 21% in Spain. It means a $145 keyboard will cost you around €170 to import to Spain or £140 to the UK. The cheapest I've found an equivalent keyboard for sale in the UK is £120. So the premium for a custom set of key caps is £20, if you're willing to pay for a mechanical keyswitch keyboard, which I am. I appreciate that most people will be happy with a spongy rubber domed PS/2 keyboard that costs about a tenth of the price and doesn't do N-key rollover, with stickers on it. But at least there's a choice.
