[matt3o]

This might be it!

PLEASE check all kits especially the internationals!!!!

[Supergeek]

So I'd have to buy both lime kits to get green C64 logo keys and a standard sized Return?

[dezoe]

Looks really good and from what I can see Swedish is covered
In my opinion it looks a bit cluttered with three labels on one key and I would prefer if you were to remove the third label on DE-NO-SE. That would also help to keep no of keys down a bit

I'd love to do that but I have to use the legends that SP already has, and I believe what they have is with 3 symbols per key (looking at Round 5)

[scottc]

Matt3o, in the DE-NO-SE kit, is the Row 2 Z necessary? I think it's the case with SA that Row 2 Z is the same as Row 4 Z except flipped 180 degrees. The same applies to AZERTY in the FR-IT set, then.

you sure both the legend and stem position are symmetrical?

[scottc]

I think so. I spoke to Facetsesame and 7bit about this in the Round 5 thread, but there's no way of finding anything in that huge thread. The DE kit for Round 5 doesn't have a Z, just a Y. Maybe 7bit can confirm?

Im missing some keys for a HyperMicro.

It would be awesome if you can add the missing keys.

thanks for the heads-up! I'll trust round-5...

Im missing a 1,5 Linux key, 2 1,5 Alt keysand 1u Shift lock.

[scottc]

1.5 Alt keys are in the modifier packs. The 1.5U Linux key and 1.0U Shift lock in Row 4 seem like they'd be a bit useless for other keyboards since most peoples' "Linux" key is the Windows key (normally 1.25 or 1.0U) and if people swap ctrl and caps lock, they usually have a 1.25 or 1.5U key in that row for it.

we could do PT+ES maybe? Are they close? I can't remember. You need at least 10 buyers I guess.

Okay, thanks.

Those are just my thoughts, I'm in no way affiliated with the GB so obviously nothing I say reflects what happens. That's up to matt3o!

[Cafeine]

As a Topre addict, this set will make me buy a MX Board. And if so, I still have 5 days to get a granite too at massdrop. I hate you. -_-

[Muirium]

Every time I think I've finally turned the corner on caps…

[scottc]

Hah, that picture is fantastic.

[matt3o]

Heeeello, Teeery!

Extra points for:
HYPER row 3, 1 and 1.5 units in red
: row 1 in brown
( row 1 in brown
) row 1 in brown
` ; row 3 in brown

[Cafeine]

Should I be afraid of the price?

[RaleghDirat]

I see a new cap in the 1U blanks, is it deep dish?
In PMKs 1976 GB, there is a "blank homing kit" = 2 deep dish + 2 raised bumps.
Maybe that is the best way, what do you think?

[matt3o]

thanks everybody for the suggestions. I'll do some more updates tomorrow and I believe we can start really soon.

The blank homing is a nice idea. maybe I could even add the relegendable and windowed keys.

Why not Super, Meta, Hyper, by default instead of Commodore logo, Menu, and Fn?

That would be more standard (for a vintage naming), and the Commodore logo could still go in the OS kit.

What do you think?

Don't touch that logo. It's the best one (and the only one I tolerate with the Amiga one. I'm biased? Totally. <3
