Question: Are these the same profile as the DSA keys that you can order with round 2 of the ErgoDox?

Kerning is part of the retro experience.

Remember that a lot of the gear we lust after was designed in a pre-PageMaker world.

I love the colors we got on that set, but was wondering - retro name is used only for those coffee keycaps, right?
Cause that plum color isn't anything near Commodore keys, or am I wrong?
How did we come up with this plum color?:)

Original set was all brown (with the grey F-row), but very few are strong enough to embrace the True Way of Retro and so plum has been added for the faint hearted.

Green Return is to break the Red Escape trend.

Haha, cool:)

Coffee and plum look awesome together.

Really panicking that I forgot to ask tjcaustin to order a spacebar for me... In case I didn't, are there spare 6.25 spacebars?

Edit: Ignore - panic over - I just found my PM to tj and I did indeed ask for a spacebar (as well as a numpad set which I'd forgotten about - my goldtouch will be pleased!)

That print key being a different color is driving me bonkers! Also, nice case! Finally, on the left of those pictures I see that the key doesn't have a first shot in it. Are some of the keys pad printed/dye subbed? Edit: forgot there were blanks. Duh.
