Lego-compatible Cherry MX-compatible C64-ish Keycaps

thingiverse

Lego-compatible keycaps with Cherry MX-compatible stems, sized for a C64-style keyboard. The keycaps are meant to be placed on Cherry MX switches on a base that is angled at 8 degrees, which will result in a somewhat ergonomic curvature of the keyboard, resembling that of the C64. The normal keys are 20 mm x 18.46 mm, relative to a flat surface, which means that they are slightly less wide than than 2.5 1x1 bricks I created these as part of a project to build a hand-wired keyboard without a PCB or plate for the switches for the MX switches, instead using adaptors (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5368820) to hold the switches, with the keys spaced 2.5 1x1 bricks apart (= 50 LDUs), held in place by bricks placed on their side in rows, with an extra brick and plate between each row. The tiles on the keycaps are available from Bricksanity (https://www.bricksanity.com/products/brixkey64-keyboard-tiles?_pos=1&_sid=2b52e9473&_ss=r).
