“You are an alchemist; make gold of that.” -
William Shakespeare
Much like a modern alchemist, the Alchemy colourway
was first brought to us in DSA profile from our fellow UK
brethren Chris Swires (famed for his two-tone table setup
and a penchant for 40% boards), when he took a simple idea
and created gold with it. When Chris reached out to us and
gave us his blessing, we took advantage of this
serendipitous opportunity to run our namesake keyset in GMK
profile.
As we now propose to run this set in GMK
profile, and cannot use SP’s colour codes exactly, we will
be matching the actual SP chips with the closest alternative
RAL colours.
The colourway itself is comprised of cool
grey and beige tones representing base metals, a gold accent
representing every alchemist’s primary goal, and warm brown
legends representing the base element of earth to provide a
stark contrast.
Quoting the designer himself: “The idea
of the base combination is to provide a foreground backdrop
to any board it’s placed upon, the subtlety of the base
allows the board to be the star of the show rather than the
set itself. It’s an accent piece, visual alchemy. The idea
evolved from there.”
The proposed kits:
(Subject to interest - not all kits may run)
Base kit:
The base kit covers all of your standard layouts (ie
60%, HHKB, 65%, 75%, 1800 etc); while also including accent
keys for esc, arrow and enters for both ANSI and UK ISO.
Apprentice kit:
With a colourway from Mr Swires himself, of course we
had to include a kit for 40’s coverage. This kit includes
the relevant keys to cover most 40% boards and also accents
for the relevant keys.
Essence kit:
Standard spacebar kit, including all the shorty bars,
an extra B key for Alice layouts, 6u bars with both standard
& off-center stem and then accented 6.25u and 7u
keys.
High alchemy kit:
A small but concise novelties kit consisting firstly
of the ‘Ålç’ keys (first used as novelties in the DSA set),
‘Transmute’ keys for both ANSI and ISO enter and finally an
R1 1u key with the Alchemist Keyboards logo. Each key comes
in both the mod and accent colours.
