Hi Everyone! Fredington and I would like to introduce you to SA 8010! (eighty-ten)
The colorway and legends were inspired by the Decision Data 8010 Keypunch keyboard. Similar to the IBM 029 Keypunch, the 8010 was a machine used to punch holes into data cards, which was a very old way of recording data. The keyboard’s unique colorway was designed to distinguish the numpad (dark grey) and modifiers (blue), from the alphas (white) on what is essentially a 60% keyboard

HaaTa’s original pic
Another interesting feature are the dual legends where the uppercase featured the numerical and special characters, whereas the lowercase featured the alphabetical characters. You would toggle the uppercase with the Upper Shift key, and the lowercase with the Lower Shift key
A few other quirks about this keyboard:

  • SKIP was akin to Tab

  • DUP, when held down, would duplicate whatever was in the current position of the previous card

  • REL I believe stands for Release, which would release the current card from the machine

  • The 4 PROG keys gave you some ability to program the keypunch kind of like Macros

  • Colors:*
    Blue Keycaps: Pantone 2392C
    Grey Keycaps: SP GEW
    White Keycaps: SP WFK

  • Kits:*

  • Base Kit*
    Due to its unique colorway, the base kit features both Alphas and Modifiers, which isn’t typical for SA sets. The Modifiers stay faithful as possible to the actual Decision Data keyboard, featuring new legends in place of standard modifiers (e.g. Right Adjust as the Enter key)

  • Extensions*
    On top of the standard modifier extensions, we wanted to provide two additional 1u blank white keys for a bit more flexibility when configuring the modifiers around the spacebar

  • NEW: Triumph Alphas*
    Wanted to provide the option of a more traditional setup, with the legends featuring the same color as the blue modifiers (renders to come!). Also included are additional blue ALT modifiers to help finish the traditional layout

  • For those who filled out the IC form above, please revise your submission if you are interested*

  • Numpad*
    The Numpad kit supports full-sized keyboard layouts

  • ISO*
    Provides support for Physical ISO

  • Ortholinear*
    Honestly, why wouldn’t we make an ortho kit? It looks amazing. Some changes to call out are the abbreviation of various legends to fit in a 1u key, as well as a standalone PROG key without a number. Included a “0/“ in R3 for 40% Ortho users

  • PROG*
    Derived from the PROG keys and expanded to 10 for Macros

  • NEW: Modern Integrated Numpad*
    Wanted to offer a bit more functionality to those that would actually use the grey numpad keycaps. This would move keys 1, 2, and 3 to the bottom, and keys 7, 8, and 9 to the top.

  • For those who filled out the IC form above, please revise your submission if you are interested*

  • Split Spacebars*
    Provides support for split spacebar boards, including the Alice layout

  • Render Gallery* by Abec13 (Renders to be revised with Pantone 2392C; Currently Pantone 2391C)

  • M60-A by Rama Works*

  • Iron 180 by Smith + Rune*


  • Bauer by Dixie Mech*


  • Atlas by nasp*


  • Special Thanks*

  • *Fredington**for basically doing everything lol (fonts, kit creation, suggestions and advice on kits, and running a GB)

  • *Abec13**for the super realistic renders (Honestly, best I’ve seen) and putting up with my absolute lack of knowledge on fonts, rendering, colors, etc…

  • *HaaTa**at Deskthority allowing the use of the images of his actual NOS Decision Data 8010 keyboard (jealous)

  • To-do’s:*

  • Finalize colors

  • Revise renders with new Pantone color (in progress)

  • Additional renders, including new Triumph Alphas (in progress)

  • Gather feedback (in progress)

  • Finalize kits (in progress)

  • Vendors (in progress)

  • Pricing
