I caught this on Hackaday:

There is a reference to it on his website but I don't know how well they have availability:

The Superboard III is available, I bought one in April 2015. It took about a week to get to my house, but I live in driving distance of BrielComputers headquarters so it may take a little longer depending on where you are. It may also take longer if you buy the pre-assembled version (I bought the kit).

It was great fun to put it together, but I have to STRONGLY recommend getting the pre-assembled version if you're not experienced at soldering. Unfortunately there are many vias on the circuit board that ended up right next to solder islands that you need to solder parts onto, including one via between two pins of an IC socket. For beginners, it's probably quite easy to accidentally create a short-circuit if you're not super careful and have a soldering iron that has a small tip.

The result is very satisfying (not in the least because I helped Vince to develop this machine). The keyboard feels smoother than the one in my laptop! Check out the brielcomputers forums for a tip on improving the space bar stabilizer, though. I'm planning on making some improvements to the firmware as soon as I have some time.
