You will receive ASSEMBLED UNIT All assembled boards contain genuine components from EU suppliers (TME.EU). The keyboards use high-quality mechanical switches with a comfortable 1N actuation force.

This board is specially designed for the original ZX case. However, it can also function independently thanks to its integrated keyboard.

The keyboard switch spacing is the same as the original ZX rubber keyboard/faceplate. This may be helpful if you're designing your own case. I could have designed the keyboard differently, but I preserved this option.

Note: The board won't fit perfectly and will require some adjustments with a file.
