This is Interest check I started on GeekHack website.
We'll see how it goes and if we gonna start GB (and who will do it ;D)

Ideally we will aiming for similar group of kits like in Retro DSA GB, so there would be ISO, ANSI, extras, blanks etc.

DSA set for an old school two tone white/beige, that looks like this :

Color scheme only:

SP has all the colors we need for it!:)

What do you think - what would be better - DS ABS or sub PBT?

Here is colors samples.

This off-white and beige look good together -

Here's SP's colors pattern:

Let us know if you're interested!

Sounds good. I'd prefer paler shades, like WCK and WBO, and PBT over ABS, but DSA is a great profile in any case.

Ah, you're in Scotland? All the better. Hate being teased by all these US centric GBs from GH.

Cherry classic two tone is more like with GFW though - if that's the goal (sure someone knows the precise color codes?).
I'd be interested in some blanks.

Very good question... :?
Interested in a blank ISO set too, preferably PBT.

Centre alignment like dca? or Top left like cherry?

Also first call for a language kit, and try and socialise the costs! :P

++Blank PBT.

Good question, Dirge. Even the Amiga is top left legended. But c'mon. Centre is the place to be.

I'd like an Amiga key only.

I'm an Amiga fanatic, yet I hate the beige-on-beige colour scheme. That's probably the thing I hate the most about Amigas. I would have liked it much better if it looked like an Atari 800XL. (...or Kaypro.. or DEC 100... or TI-99/4A... or anything else with dark keys and white centred text on spherical keycaps)

For those who don't like beige on beige, couldn't we just have some alternate color modifiers and function keys like in the last set?

Anyway, I'd be in for this all the way.

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything else. It seems like the photo was taken by sixty himself:

The coffee set colour scheme from Keypop also looks nice (I like specially for the alphas)

or for example this vintage Cherry set also looks nice (IIRC, the picture belonged to ivanivanovich)

anything DSA gets my vote.

I'd be more in for a colder color combo (white and grey), but I'd back up any DSA set anyway :)

Since background colors are light, I'd try to go PBT if possible.

Even blank PBT sphericals whould be quite popular.

I missed out on R4, so I'd definitely be up for another SA round (and would be even better if it involves a Lisp keyboard set). :)

Yeah, I'd buy one of these, assuming it has an option for a 7x spacebar.
