Title: Keycap layout printout
Post by: MrChunky on Wed, 23 July 2014, 09:45:22

I have made a printout for laying out keycaps (for classifieds pictures, checking if you got all the caps from GBs etc.). I thought the one circulating at the moment (the one with geekhack.org in orangish at the top) is a bit awkward to use and is generally weirdly layed out. I have also found it awkward to print out. No offence meant to the creator of course, it has served me well many time.

Without further ado, here it is: A4 (2 pages)-> [attachurl=3], A3-> [attachurl=2].

If anyone has any suggestions on how it could be improved, I would appreciate it. Also if there are any other such documents already posted elsewhere, it would be great to see them.

I used http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/) for the images of the keys, I hope as it is for private use it would be allowed. And is not illegal or anything.

If you Check out this link (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0#post_HHH), there were other Keycap checking sheets but I really like this one. I'm going to be linking it into the Simple Questions thread to help clarify the tsangan kit.

It would also be nice if you could host the pictures as some people are put off by having to download a pdf. Thanks for putting this out there :D.

Ah thanks, didn't find the second one. Well I hope mine is a bit easier to handle. And it might help someone  :D

This on A3 would be killer!

But more difficult to laminate.

I made on a3 at first and split it so it would be easier to print. I'll post the A3 variation in a bit.
