Hi-Profile PBT Dye-sub (the time has come)

[jacobolus]

there's something that needs to be fixed in the profile, we are already working on it

Thanks for the more direct side-on shot.

This looks pretty good. Definitely better than DSA/SA.

If at all possible, I recommend making the ASDF and ZXCV rows slightly shorter, and maybe even making the number row slightly taller.

[matt3o]

we are working on few corrections to the keys profile. we are really close now

My Whitefox is ready for it

[romevi]

Wow. This is thrilling.

[zabuza1997]

Bump!

[snuci]

Coincidentally, this morning I switched back to my Topre Realforce Hi Pro at work in anticipation of this

[matt3o]

as always things takes way more time than expected... sorry guys, but the project is moving

[niomosy]

No worries. These things take time and this is a pretty sizeable undertaking.

It seems that Vortex are now making PBT SA and DSA profile keycaps:



Sent from fat fingers on small screen...

[matt3o]

and it will be shit like anything vortex

[zabuza1997]

and it will be shit like anything vortex

LoL
I cannot wait to see yours

[zslane]

Hey Matt3o, do you have an official name for this new keycap family you are creating?

And have you settled on which stem mounts you plan to support?

[matt3o]

mh, name... that is a good question, haven't thought about it. Suggestions?

Let's start with cherry MX for the mount and we'll proceed from there.

[Wodan]

I predict the queue for this profile - once available - will quickly look like SA profile. Latest SA GB I've seen has a delivery date of Q2 2017...

Still über excited about this whole project. It really is time for a new, available profile.

Can we get IBM-beamspring mount, too?

[matt3o]

Can we get IBM-beamspring mount, too?

that would be something!

[ramnes]

SSH profile (Spherical Sculptured High profile) <- my favorite
Beamspring profile
OSA profile (Original SA profile)

[zslane]

I'm not especially fond of naming a keycap family the same as a switch mechanism; it is confusing and ambiguous. I also think abbreviation-names are kinda boring, though I admit they are easy to type.

How about a compromise like: Hi-Beam (whicn can also be thought of as an allusion to bright lights that blaze the trail ahead).

Something brief, memorable, easy to say and type, and trademarkable would be ideal.

[matt3o]

I really like "SSH profile", but I have too much respect for the secure shell to actually use that name

I kinda agree with zslane regarding the name though, I probably prefer a short nice name to an acronym.

[XMIT]

matt3o profile?

[Wodan]

M3 profile ?

make it a little less obvious, we have to sell this to SP after all

But yeah credit where credit is due.
