I am working on a snug fit wrist rest as well in the same design. Still testing the variants before I get it done in the proper color. Here's what I have so far:

I guess it is time to post some updates.
I have substantially extended the profile set. It now includes, among other things, everything that can be found on ANSI/ISO full keyboards. The convex profile includes shorter spacebars and convex modifiers as I have promised. Since the set of supported key sizes is quite large, I will probably make and post a comprehensible ‘spec sheet’ later. For those who are curious, these are the classic (concave) modifiers:

… and these are the convex ones:

Almost, … it is just two small steps away. I need to figure out the final pricing and set up a ‘product web’ again. Besides that, everything is ready and tested. Full size ANSI or TKL with MX or Alps mounts is not a problem. I hope to add a support for Topre as well but the mount is harder to make because of its geometry (I will need a bespoke end-mill for that and currently I am in the middle of the reverse-engineering process).engr wrote: 09 Apr 2024, 20:25 Wait, does it mean that there is a full-size ANSI 104 keyset available for purchase? And/or a full-size or TKL keyboard with ANSI layout?

I have added new legend options to my keyboard kits:

This is a render but I am currently finishing two sets with triple-shot Cadet legends. Also, I have put a limited number of NOS blue alps in the stock.

… and this is how it looks after four rounds of resin casting and four rounds of CNC milling:

The final step remains—milling the mount and separating the keycap from its base. The time spent on the manufacturing is slightly over 2 hours per keycap (the design of the legends is not included, of course). And, yes, it is going to be German QWERTZ ISO.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
