-INSPIRATION-
The Reel to Reel keycap set draws inspiration from vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders. Though I've never had the chance to use one myself, I've always been captivated by these classic machines. They come from a bygone era, where unique industrial design and intricate mechanical structures embodied the aesthetic of the 70s and 80s—a time that celebrated precision engineering and tactile interfaces. In a way, reel-to-reel recorders share a kindred spirit with mechanical keyboards—both were invented around the same time and became household electronic devices of the era. I wanted to pay tribute to these vintage machines through this keycap design project.

HubertThemad:
GLWIC. I had to lug my dad's r2r from storage into his house last weekend, and I think it's safe to say that this set will be much more manageable to handle  ;D

anson42:
I like this set, particularly the vu meters! I would love to use them as split space bars in 40% board but even rudimentary 4-key 40s support is not in the base set nor novelty set. Please add basic 40s support!
