Reaching out here to see if you can provide some sort of insight as to what the expectation level is for the Blingboard and the kepycap situation?

Everythings been pretty quiet since that whole Chris/Commodore debate and with Commodores now shipping, seems like there should be something said regarding your Blingboard campaign. The 'natives' ae getting restles, but to be fair, the backers deserve am update.

Best,
J]]>

Would this dongle be able to handle additional Bluetooth device such as joystick?

Would it be pairable with other Bluetooth keyboards?

Thanks for any upcoming info on this, it seems like another exciting product.]]>

While I am sure there will be an option to turn them lightshow off, why is there not an option for those who'd rather not have the LEDs? 

Caplock led excepted.]]>

The BlingBox™ features the same main circuit board that the Blingboard64 uses.  The same switches and keycaps are all used.  The control board is completely different!

Keyboard Features:

There is LED lighting, macro key recording and playback, firmware updates via WiFi, etc.  All the same basic features as the Blingboard64.

The BlingBox™ can function as a keyboard with any device that can use a USB keyboard (PC, Mac, Linux, Rpi, etc.).  There is a DB25 port interface that lets you use it with the Commodore SX-64 and Commodore C128D computers using a standard DB25 male to male parallel printer cable.  Using different special DB25 cables you can also use it to emulate a keyboard for:

• Any computer that uses a PC/XT port
  
• Any computer or device that uses a PS/2 port
  
• Any Amiga with a remote keyboard (A1000, A2000, A3000, and A4000)
  
• External keyboard for your C64
  

There are two expansion ports inside, on the BlingBox™ control board.  One is for an external TFT display (any size), and the other could be used for a variety of functions, but an SD card socket (with an audio port?) might be a good choice.  There are recesses in the case to pass out a cable for wiring so that the display can be mounted on the keyboard (typically to the back/center).  With a TFT attached the CPU system is powerful enough to run many different computer emulations, arcade machine emulations, and more - so it could actually be a game station (even able to play DOOM) when it wasn't be used as a keyboard.

There is currently no support for Bluetooth, because there is no ability to make this a fully portable/wireless keyboard (yet).  The reality is that it is actually too low of profile currently to house a battery.  I am looking at some options.  The size is 405mm (L) x 130mm (W) x 21mm (H).  I am currently working on the flip-out leg design so that it is at the correct typing angle.

If the stretch goal is not reached, then I won't make this a product and I will have to show off my one-off at various retro events.
