SimpleJA
Current status: GB is live; GB thread here.
SimpleJA attempts to recreate the vintage “cross-positioned” legends which were common on many vintage Japanese keyboards.
Many hours of research were conducted to create legends that are as genuine to the originals as possible.
Historically used legends from vintage boards were implemented wherever possible; those that did not exist were crafted carefully to match the others.

Design Decisions
The basic white/beige color scheme was chosen as a neutral colorway that matches both the vintage style of the keyset as well as newer sleek keyboards.
The modifier keys were kept all-Japanese for a uniform look.


Kits
Base Kit
Enough keys to fill most form factors below TKL size.
Spacebars Kit
1x 6U Convex
2x 3U Convex
1x 2.75U Convex
1x 2.25U Convex
1x 2U Convex
2x 1.5U Convex
2x 1U
Numpad Kit
Keys to fill a numpad, whether regular, all-1U, or part of a 1800 layout.
The order of the 1U modifiers are based on the style found on the NEC PC-8801 and PC-9801 series.
Ortho Kit
Many 1U keys which can help fill ortholinear and smaller ergonomic boards.
Function Kit
Includes both a vertical M1-M10 cluster for XT/AT inspired layouts, as well as a F13-F24 cluster for 122-key inspired battleships.
Renders
The legends in the renders appear a tad thinner than the source graphic for some reason.



Timeline
Once samples are confirmed and pricing is set, GB will begin.
