They're not mechanical switches but you never got those on budget 8-bit computers anyway. Compared to a speccy keyboard these were exceptional.

Does it? Unlike a lot of micros the CPC's really don't have many capacitors present internally that can fail - the functions that usually need electrolytics are basically done inside the dedicated monitor instead. Recapping is almost never needed.

Unfortunately not. A fantastic find though, please do try and bring it back to life.

This is bringing back memories. It was my first computer where I copied Basic scripts from magazines and played games till past bedtime. Happy days.

Was my first computer as a pre-teen back in mid/late 80's. I remember spending an entire weekend typing in the source code for a top down racing game from a book, saving it to tape and playing, good times...

Our duck tray currently weighs in at 31 g and comes with anti-slip rubber feet.
We understand if you are not interested in 3D printed trays. Our mission is to provide organization trays at an affordable price, but are still interesting, so that you don’t have to pay $70+ or wait two weeks for a desktop tray.

I don’t, but capacitors almost always have their values written on them.

do you own it by any chance?
it needs some capacitor replacements to get it working again, i hope i dont end up getting the wrong parts when i end up buying the keyboard lol- though it is pretty cool even just for display

Is there a weight listed? If it’s very light I’m afraid it will feel low quality.
I love the design and I would buy this in a heartbeat if it were made of cerakoted aluminum or higher quality materials. But I’m not sure I want to spend money on lightweight 3d printed plastic.
