If you are in the market for a keyboard case for your mini PC such as a Raspberry Pi or Till Harbaum’s MiST FPGA Board or any Amiga 1200 Motherboards revisions, you may be interested in a new AMIGA 1200 keyboard case range that has been created and will be produced using new moulds to re-launch the retro styling of the iconic Amiga system.
The Revival of the Amiga 1200
The Amiga 1200, originally released in 1992, was a beloved home computer that gained a cult following due to its advanced graphics and sound capabilities for its time. The new keyboard cases aim to bring back the nostalgia of the Amiga 1200 while providing modern functionality. These cases are not just replicas; they are designed to accommodate modern hardware, making them perfect for enthusiasts who want to combine the classic look with contemporary technology.
Watch the video below to learn more from Philippe Lang, an avid Amiga fan who has taken to Kickstarter to make available new AMIGA 1200 keyboard cases to purchase priced from just €79. The project requires €125,000 to be able to create the new moulds that will manufacture the new cases.
Why This Project Matters
The significance of this project extends beyond mere nostalgia. The Amiga 1200 was a pioneer in multimedia computing, and its revival in the form of these new keyboard cases serves as a tribute to its legacy. By using new moulds, the project ensures that the cases are durable and of high quality, meeting modern standards while preserving the original design. This is particularly important for retro computing enthusiasts who often face the challenge of finding replacement parts for their vintage machines.
Moreover, the project has garnered significant attention and support from the retro computing community. The Kickstarter campaign not only aims to fund the production of these cases but also to create a community of Amiga enthusiasts who can share their experiences and projects. This sense of community is vital for keeping the spirit of the Amiga 1200 alive.
