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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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).

I could maybe add the extra 4 keys to the novelties or Planck set to make it ergodox compatible?

Unless you can think of any other ways of doing it?

Any chance of adding some extra mods to the Planck set? Gives a little bit more flexibility to laying out the right side/corner, such as Backspace, Enter, Shift, or replacing the arrow keys with Ctrl, Meta, Super, Hyper.

-Joshua

It wasn't quite my suggestion (although having 2x 1u blank is something I forgot to mention!)

Because there are so many different custom layouts for the Planck, adding some duplicates to the mods might help support those where people have the same key twice. The most common example of this is having a right and left shift, like this:


I'm not sure how common other duplicates are though.

Now that you mention it, you actually could just swap the keys around for a Dvorak or Colemak layout. And yes the base alpha has homing keys, but I could add 2 non homing keys to make it Dvorak/Colemak compatible.

That would be good. A Homing Keys set, with T/N (Colemak) and U/H (Dvorak), would be great too, but reaching MOQ would be unlikely?
