Hi, sorry I missed this earlier... I know what you mean about it being very 'ZX81', but I based it on the small amount of info on Rick Dickinson's flickr - see https://www.flickr.com/photos/9574086@N ... 1627816164 - showing that this is the point at which the ZX81-style keyboard first began to emerge. Anyway, I wouldn't worry about the overlay, doubt there will be the demand for it and people can always print one themselves.

Rich, yes but that would be for the 4K ROM. This is for the pre-production 8K, I made it because there only seemed to be low resolution versions available.
Ah sorry - what is the difference then?
I will see if I can sort out the hi-res version of the 4K ZX80 keyboard drawing for you tomorrow - it depends on how authentic to the original you want to be....
For example, a quick glance shows that the chequerboard patterns on your overlay are based on squares - that is very ZX81 (!) - the ZX80 keyboard uses circles believe it or not (with the top half / bottom half ones overlapping on the middle row of pixels!). I guess that was more to reflect the actual round pixels on screen....
