That font (Orbitron I suppose) is not available for double shot to date. I like the color way, though, but not the 1976-like diagonal.

Yeah, I couldn't find a digital version of the signature plastics font so that's the best I could do for now. So i've just updated the description to point that out to everyone.
Thanks for your feedback by the way

I couldn't find a digital version of the signature plastics font (Gorton Modified) so I've just gone with the closest one I could find on google fonts that worked (a lot of the fonts don't load with keyboard layout editor)

I have just found out that their is a font called "Engravers Gothic" which is very similar to signature plastics "Gorton Modified". I am going to bed because it is half past midnight right now where I live and I will fix this tomorrow morning

hey mate, you could try using the DSA retro preset which would look like SA top view


it already has the font you need

Best of luck for this keyset 

[jjanssen1]

Keyboard layout editor font updated.

Dis some good stuff, watching

Keyboard layout editor font updated.

 

Definitely interested with the colors, no so much with the 1976 design, can you make a render with the mint colors as mods instead?

I'm digging this! I much prefer the 1976 style as opposed to the normal style. The normal style looks too much like DCS Midnight to me. I'll be watching this thread!

How about a pale cool mint for the alphas? Just something a bit fresher and less dramatic and contrasty than the black. Love the green colour chosen though!

I might end up changing it to DSA if enough people are interested.

Ok, thank you
Btw I was going to order from varmilo the same set that you put in the op (without the white line). I will wait for some news on this project before pulling the trigger on that.

Your right, it does look very similar. I was only doing those renders as an idea but now I might have to stick to the diagonal cross and black/mint sets.

Do you know any moderators that are online right now?

[Vigrith]

Personally not super keen on the 1976 type "stripped" pattern but both the full green with white legends and the black alphas on green mods look very cool! I'd definitely be interested in purchasing.

Just one quick question, which profile do you prefer out of SA and DSA?

-Joshua

[keyladding]

Why can only moderators add polls?

[jjanssen1]

Why can only moderators add polls?

I'm not entirely sure, but it could be to stop people from spamming the forum (such as a lot of people do on Facebook).

-Joshua

[Vigrith]

Just one quick question, which profile do you prefer out of SA and DSA?

-Joshua

I'm not super fussed on that, I like SA a little bit better but DSA tends to be even more aesthetically pleasing and still almost as good to type on so either works for me. SA if I'd really have to choose.

I will hopefully get a moderator to add a poll to this topic.

Looking better! I had a play around too, edging towards a bit of a stronger look. Thought about making the legends +/- alternative mods chocolate brown for a bit of a Junior mint look!



Now I'm craving chocolate mints.....  :p

Maybe brown alphas are too much. What about adding a set containing only enter, spacebar, esc, arrows and some other keys?
The same "accent set" could also be made in white (thus including the diagonal line, too).

Yes, something like that.
Still, I think that it lacks something even though I don't know what.

Of course novelties should be added. Do you have any idea?
The obvious icon would be a mint leaf.

[jjanssen1]

Would anyone want this set in ISO format or any other format such as ergodox/planck?

[jjanssen1]

Added new child deals (More economical + Planck support)

[captsis]

what about a Tsangen layout? Stepped keys? why no HHKB layout love?

The set already has a stepped caps lock. And I'll go add a Tsangan kit now
