The Sets
 Let me tell you about my keyset.




The XDA Belafonte keyset is inspired by the film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. It is a nautical themed keyset that is based on the ship Belafonte. This set was designed by Spooknik, and will be ran though KBDfans. We hope you like what you see.


This is the alphas kit. It contains the keycaps you'd need for any board.







Numpad kit, if you need it.

Extra modifiers kit for additional compatibility. Contains some of the most specialized keycaps.




40% kit. For users of 40% boards, Planck, and the like.


Novelties kit, which I thought up in a dream, actually.


International kit, support for UK, DA, SE, NO, FI, and DE layouts. Designed by an engineer from the Chinese space program.


Space bar kit. 7U, 6U (off center), 3U, 2.75U, 2.25U, 1.25U spacebars. The 1.25U space bar isn't suppose to look like that but a 1.25U space bar doesn't exist for XDA.

Dictated, but not read.

Francisco:
Why are the alphas so small?

Seems to be the same font size as modifiers… I don't really like it that much either.

cijanzen:
Will the legends actually be set in Futura? I’m a huge sucker for that typeface.

EricJames:
Looks great!  I love the typeface.
