Hello, I am working on releasing the first drop from my Hardware company Vintek. I am pretty new to this but, I am making some of the most creative keycaps and keyboards inspired by vintage styles & more! Please give feedback, suggestions, and join the Vintek discord https://discord.gg/bZ9u5E3u. It’s the best way to keep up with me and the project!

Why does it only support one single layout. Like not even all of the 60% layouts just regular 60%. If you're selling it like this I don't expect the price to be above 5$

What I have in mind is a Hot-swappable board. Preferably 60 to 65%. RGB, macros, wireless etc. Please feel free to make any suggestions. All suggestions can be possibly implemented.

I would suggest looking at other keycap ICs to see how they make a kit. Would prefer something a lot more expansive. Glad to see you are taking feedback instead of just making the product anyways.

That’s the ISO layout correct? I chose ANSI because I know it’s more widely used. I will keep this in mind.

Yeah this is long term for me. Eventually I want to have in stock items as well so, learning along the way is important. Thank you for taking interest! I will probably make a 60% board with these keycaps.

you're on the right track for a great little niche.
ortho, ergo & split boards usually have trouble getting legends to match, so we typically go with blank keycaps.
your all over dyesub set is what i've been looking for (though with a couple of changes).

what i think would work, would be a "designed" blank keycap set. something more interesting than one color blank keycaps but no legends and enough keys to cover most any split / ortho / ergo board.
- all over dyesub design (again, no legends anywhere)
- cherry profile preferred over oem (if possible)
- thick pbt blanks for printing (more important than cherry vs oem)
- most "ortho keycap sets" usually only cover 5x12 (at most), i would extend this to cover 5x14. there are larger ortho sets but they usually have legends and are uniform profile.

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I considered making them blank originally but, I also didn’t want to leave out the people who might want legends to help type. Either Cherry or OEM keycaps can definitely be done. And good thickness is achievable as well. Would you rather a more expansive keycap set of this design or prefer a keyboard to go with the set? That’s what I’m mainly trying to figure out moving forward.

just caps. there are sooo many 60 & 65% boards out there, it's hard not to trip over them.

You would have a hard time convincing an actual keyboard enthusiast to buy this. It will either be pad printed, laser etched or reverse dyesubbed which are all pretty bad methods of printing caps, the kitting is embarrassing and the spacebar and escape are not even a part of the keyset, they're just your company name and logo.

Why would you put the name of your company on the spacebar instead of having a complete design throughout the keyset? It looks disgustingly out of place and ruins the whole keyset imo.

There is a reason no modern enthusiast grade keysets are kitted like this. Offering a 60% kit that only comes with a 6.25u bottom row and ANSI is pretty disappointing. I'm confident that over half of the people (not just here; everywhere) who check this keyset out won't be able to use it on their keyboard because of how limited the kitting is. Consider a base kit that supports 7u bottom row, ANSI and ISO, TKL and 65%.

Make it better and try again. You're getting beat by $20 Chinese sets. Gates are closed.

Name on spacebar? That’s my design. 2nd this is a test run. Learning process for me. Thank you for your time & feedback .
