Building a New Commodore 64 with New Parts by Perifractic

Retro Computer connoisseur Perifractic showcased one of his new products recently by unveiling the BrixKey4 (I love a good pun).  This is a key cap replacement for Commodore 64 users to replace their keys with, Lego’s.  Perifractic shows off his latest project on his YouTube Channel Retro Recipes.  In which covers his building of a brand new C64 case and keys out of Lego’s, complete with substitute parts that are all new.  Furthermore these are parts and components which are still in production and relatively obtainable.  The video is a great combination of nostalgia and creativity on display, but is also pretty inspiring to be able to build a replica system or coming up with solutions that functions nearly the same as the original.
