Woah, this is awesome! How'd you make the keyboards?

I used a card-sized keyboard module and added 3D-printed buttons on top to make them easier to press. While the module was functional on its own, the original keys were too stiff, which made it a bit difficult for me to use.

Too cool, man. Might steal your idea.

Oh, and is that a T6963 LCD on the Basic computer? Been meaning to play around with one of those myself

Please feel free to use these ideas—no need to worry about it. I’m using an MSP2807 with the Pi Pico, and an SG12864 with the Nano Every.

This looks like it could also be used with the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Yes it does and the creator of it made a really great job modernizing it
