Hello all! I’m very excited to share my first keyset

This set
takes inspiration from the Xerox 6085 / DocuTech
keyboards:

TMOv2 by Funderburker

HAUS by Hand Engineering
Kits:
A modern, cherry-style, interpretation of the model 65D
(the 6085 keyboard) keycap color scheme. Grays with a hint
of beige, and beautiful red-violet alpha legends.
Inspired by a reference I found in a Xerox 6085 product
support manual to the 94D, the Japanese language keyboard
model.
A collection of 65D inspired keys, many of which
performed actions unique to Xeroxs ViewPoint software.

Colors:
**/A key from my Xerox board has been sent to KBDfans to
color match the alpha base color. After rethinking the
color choices, I decided to match a physical sample for
the mod color, too.*
Collaborations:
Rama Works:
The cherry on top to round off the 6085 aesthetic.
ZeusWorks:
These will be limited to 15-20 cables, available from
ZeusWorks directly after the GB starts.

More context for the inspiration and nerdy computer
history:*
After years of searching, I recently obtained a Xerox DocuTech (JD-2) keyboard. My sole intent was not only to obtain the SKCM Green Alps it has, as is typically the case, but to own a piece of computer history that holds sentimental value for me. My grandfather worked at Xerox during the period that PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) was making important breakthroughs that shaped modern day computing as we know it. Perhaps their most important contribution was the creation of the “desktop metaphor” for the graphical user interface, first used internally at PARC on their Alto workstations. Later, it made its commercial debut with the Xerox Star system, which was eventually succeeded by the Xerox 6085 (or Xerox Daybreak) workstation on which this keyset is based. - The Xerox 6085 Professional Computer System - an old informational / sales video:*
