-UPDATES-

29 Jan 2024
1.Vendor list updates.
2. There will be minor changes to the kitting which will highly see R3 Bumper/guiding(F, J, Num5) keys be removed due to manufacturing limitations but also the fact that the Bumps may interfere due to the design elements of Cipher. With that we will also be adjusting the pricing a little to compensate for this.

Have you considered doing a full alpha set with only morse symbols? Whatever you put on the "extra" keys does not really matter to me.
This would essentially make the set useful for all languages in a way.

So 12x R2, 11x R3, and 10x R4 1u keys, something like this:
306005-0

EDIT: Possibly include the numrow as well :-)

Oh I see what you mean! I could put that up in the form to gauge the interest for it :)

I like this a lot, the fact that the sublegends are muted green makes it so the design doesn’t look to busy. Interested!

Great design, great theme, great price.  What's not to like.  I'd be interested in joining a gb.

Cool theme! I'm into it. Would be really cool to see a little more color though, maybe as a novelties kit or spacebars at least

Amazing set, though feels weird for Home/pgup/pg down etc. keys (forgot what they're called) to be text when modifiers etc. are all morse code

Nice theme, good layout support, thick PBT, everything aligns, well done ! I'll certainly get a set, the EU vendor is good too.

Maybe I've been under a rock, but those legends look mighty fine. Like literally, the lines are super fine. Are these dyesub or printed? I'm assuming not shot since PBT

Edit: I can't read. It says dyesub in the IC. I guess we're in the future now

They are dye sub, photo samples from the factory looked fine but I'll confirm once the samples are checked by myself.

Photos will be posted here as well.

1st round of samples have been completed and photos have been uploaded.

Just some slight changes to the radio alphabet font but overall very pleased with it.

Loving this set, will for sure be picking it up! If at all possible, would love to see it with a Canadian vendor! :)

PS: I created an account just to compliment you on a job well done, this is truly a beautiful set and I look forward to including it in a build.

1st round of samples came in and the prints are crisp but I'll be adjusting it slightly. Let me know what you think! :)
