Dear All!
I am new here so please bear with me~
I
am living in Norway and waiting to get my hands on a DSA
Dolch keycap set. However these sets are usually containing
only English layouts.
Thinking about this a little, I
came up with a project that hopefully going to interest some
of you.
1.Orange ESC and symbol key. The orange ESC key
caught my eyes way back and I wished to add this nice RETRO
touch to my keyboard. HPE1000 from a forum called
Overclock.net got his hands on a keycap like this by chance
in a bag full of wrongly produced keycaps.
To give the
possibility for others to enjoy this rather cool looking
design I contacted both HPE1000 and Simple Plastics to find
the correct color. We had to guess at the end but we finally
came to a conclusion and I prepared a preview.
2.
Norwegian layout. Fitting a Norwegian layout to a keyboard
which doesn’t have “extra” keys as the international layout
does, seemed to give an opportunity for a bit more
extraordinary approach. I fitted the symbols to the right
bottom corner of the keycaps which are to be accessed by
pressing ALT.
The problem here was the symbol ‘ . When
typing English this symbol is used quite often, so wanted to
make sure it is accessible at all times.
Thus replaced
the ` symbol with ‘ on the orange key. This way the keyboard
can be used effectively for English and Norwegian writing at
the same time.
This results in 9 keycaps which you can
preview in the image attached.
I already had
discussions back and forth with Simple Plastics about
production and they gave me the following numbers.
For
a production of 25 sets, one set would cost around 9,53$.
I
would hope there are others who would like to have this set.
If anything the orange keycaps could prove to be a really
nice touch to the DSA Dolch set which they already own.
Is
any of you interested in such a deal? If we can get together
20 people, I am willing to pay for 5 sets myself to kick in
production(I want one set for myself!
)
Please take a look at the preview I prepared and I
hope to hear back from some of you
