So from now on there is a complete replacement keyboard available for use with ZX81 and TS1000 (maybe with little different namings like NEWLINE vs. ENTER).

Due to some requests I added the ZX80 versions of this keyboard as well (with ZX80 imprint).
This is not a directly replacement or spare part of an original ZX80 but can be fitted with manual wiring.
I don't think someone will do this on real ZX80 but it can be used for a modified ZX81 (with ZX80 rom) or for own purposes/developments.

Just in case someone needs. ;)

This is available as assembly kit as well.

The ZX8-KDLX keyboard membranes have been sold out for a while and now this replacement keyboard is available again as kit or complete version. The membrane has been improved a little bit while changing the background colour of the keys from light grey to white and the ZXpand keywords are printed on this version, too.

The ZX81 keyboards with tactile switches as replacement for membranes is back now after 6 weeks sold out.
There is only the completed/assembled version available but with lower price (same now as previous kit price).
So assembly kits and pcb only are no more available as all boards have been assembled in industrial way.

The replacement keyboard is now EUR 17.90 (was EUR 22.50 before) with ZX81 membrane or EUR 19.90 with ZX80 imprint.
So it is same price than the ZX80 membrane or 50% plus in comparison to a simple ZX81 membrane.

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but at the current price of 15.90 euro, these are too good to miss.

Cheers,

Graham
