Additional mono symbols:
Here are some additional symbols that may be combined with the Base set. This includes the number row, shifted number row, additional Aurebesh symbols, arrows, brackets, and other standard keyboard symbols.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/7E4GUpv.png)

We haven't been primarily focused on delivering mods beyond 1u, so let us know if you would be interested in mods longer than 1u, perhaps looking like this.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/B4hLlAu.png)
The following explore some possible color ways on 1u mono mods.

Sounds good. Count me in.
So in contrast to Milestone, you'd skip the secondary legends?
So keyboards would have a mix of Aurebesh (alphas) and Latin (mod) legends? It will look like a clashing mixture of two different sets, and that's because it is. I think this only works with icon mods, and SP doesn't sell icon mods outside of sets like Granite.

Or blank mods. I do see your point, however, I'm not really interested in designing a set of modifiers. If there's not enough interest with the TKL Base only offering, I would consider talking to SP about running the Granite Icon mods as black on red, but that's pushing the amount of work I really want to invest in designing the set.

Don't half-ass it. If you want people to support this, you really need a matching set of mods. I like the idea, but without a "complete" set, it's not really worth it to me.
Yeah, blank mods would look better than regular text mods. I still think it would look odd, but that's just because I think blank mods (or completely blank sets) always look odd anyway. However, I do realize how challenging it would be to design a set of original icon mods that would look good with the Aurebesh alphas, and how much more complicated the entire endeavor becomes as a result. But you have to agree that such a set would be totally killer...
If you don't want to figure out a way to design/offer icon mods to fit the theme I'm sure a lot of people will be disappointed - I don't know where you plan to run this but if you can split the kits up (or offering a singular kit) then I'm sure many will be interested in alphas only; latin mods with aurebesh alphas looks strange to me personally and I'd rather just mix and match with my other icon mod kits I already own (granite, granite HC and a bunch of XDA milestone/canvas ones). If I can do that, then I'm in.I really want to run these, too! I'll put up a Google form to gather some more info on who wants what and is willing to settle for what else.
Then again if you run this through a smaller business/vendor splitting kits may be troublesome. Then again, if that's what you're aiming at, maybe running this as literally just alphas might be a better plan. Guess you'll have time to ponder all this as the IC/project progresses. Good luck.
I like the idea of just the alphas. As an Ergodox user, the mods would probably have just been blanks anyways.

We picked it up from dafont: https://www.dafont.com/aurebesh.font.
Just a warning, those are backwards.

Thanks for the warning! Take a peek a little further down the page, though, I think the backwards ones are supposed to be capital letters. How are things coming with the SA set?
Backwards are the capitals but to be more "accurate" the lower case legends would be the correct ones. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aurebesh
SA set will run at some point, it isn't dead yet, it's more so on the back burner as I've taken up designing keyboards and I'm honestly having a lot more fun with that.
