[IC] KeyKobo - Retro Red Light | Tripleshot

[Jr.Mars]

Hello everyone! I would like to introduce KeyKobo-Retro Red Light.



This is one of my favorite sets from the “Retro” series, which took a year to design and opitmization.
Same as KeyKobo-Retro Mixed Lights, this set will be manufactured by KeyKobo, and I hope it will still be available in-stock.

● Inspiration

The inspiration comes from Data General 6246.
Data General 6246 is a clicky Fujitsu Leaf Spring keyboard for the Data General 6242 terminal. The keyboards of D200, D210 series, produced by data general around 1982.




● Kitting

General Data (base)
● Same as Retro Mixed Lights, the W/A/S/D keys in General Data(base kit) are tripleshot.
● The CapsLock/Stepped capslock/ANSI Enter/Esc keys are using customized molds.



● The front legends are pad print.
● To better match the concept, we changed the top of red relegendable from clear translucent to gray after the discussion with the manu. And I wish the final prototype would be satisfying.

More

Red Light (Novelties) / Beige Alpha
● Novelties are tripleshot, not pad print.



Extras (Spacebars and Accents) / Numbers (Numpad)



● Renders
These renders took me a lot of time in order to make them look as realistic as possible, and the color reproduction is more accurate.

● Collocation Suggestion

More

There are many ways to play with the kit combinations: you can generate many different color schemes from them.
I created two renders for instance and for reference.

Oh I've been thinking someone should make a set based off that Data General color scheme for a little while now, looks really good!

Please consider having a option for a brown/beige numpad and not forcing accents on enter and esc.

I like this.

+1 on not forced accents

[Designerstudio]

Can’t wait for this set!

Looks great, any option for the UK-ISO keys in base being avail for the additional coloured Alpha keys?

[Dmitri]

would like to see extra wasd keys without dots for the beige alpha's kit like how it is in the darker alpha's set.

[Elendil-7]

This looks great! Always here for more retro sets. Thank you for actually creating a novelties kit that is still functional. Front legends are great, the ability to kit out potentially two full boards is also great! Even basic 40s support!

The main criticism I have is the accent keys in the base kit. I would prefer if the dark grey mod accents were not forced for Esc/Enter/arrows/40s keys. Otherwise, I can't wait for this one!

[TerraKeycaps]

Wow beautiful renders. Would love to collab for an artisan keycap!

Mars is like a reaper. Comes with all these retro light keycaps and collects my money.

[firimp]

would like to see a R3 1.75u control and R2 1.5 backspace in the novelty kit for HHKB layout, it will be great.
