Looks good, I think the closer spacing feels more IBM-ish. For box graphics I think either option would be good (vector or XT/AT line art style), and since we are not really copying the original style of the boxes for the 50, 62, or 77, which are a little bit bland ( http://deskthority.net/photos-f6...

The fourth looks the best to me, and I am guessing you used the "men in blue" font to generate that one? I had looked at that font a while ago when box discussions were going on, and it matches the old IBM graphics very well, the only place that it needs some work is on the inter character spacing/k...

The cap next to it is a blank brown abs SA cap, but probably was a very bad choice because of contrast and not being able to see that inner extra ridge for the double shot part. Let me dig out the caps and take another shot of some together. edit: here is a better photo to show off the comparison of...

Thick PBT is definitely the way to go. PBT isn't that much of a big deal by itself, but when thick it works very nicely on the NovaTouch and I suspect on MX as well. Vintage "thick" Cherry PBT dyesubs are insanely sought after. Whoever can master their tricky production will have an immense product...

yea, that is probably why they thinned down the inside of the caps they did make. From what Melisa told me they were leftovers from an older customer order and they do not plan on making more due to poor yields from the manufacturing on them, which is too bad..

since SP cant dye sub their spherical PBT caps they have, let alone the fact they don't want to produce any more of them. Um, SP did a nice job with Granite. Dyesubbed PBT sphericals, albeit in the lower DSA style: Ah, yea, my mistake, I was referring to the SA caps they have in the keystore. I bou...

Ahem. Round 6 was for APL. http://deskthority.net/resources/image/12915 Of course, they should really be tripleshots. Hopefully Rsbseb has luck with that! Nice, so round 6 was planning on the IBM APL layout then, just like the beamsprings I have seen photos of . Hopefully Rsbseb's sperical cap ende...

All this piano and keyboard talk reminds me of a midi "keyboard" that one of my professors in college made and sold. It used multiple rows of hall effect sensors to track finger positions on a neoprene sheet in 3 dimensions that then could be output over midi channels as the note and two additional ...

A shipping notice showed up earlier that could be for these, so wild pics might start showing up in the near future. Still haven't seen or heard from the buy leader though. Not mine, but it seems they have been deployed: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67785.msg1746234#msg1746234 They look qui...
