Some Devlin Keycap Pics
« on: Wed, 11 April 2018, 12:49:38 »
I thought I would showcase some of the keycaps that have been produced in conjunction with Devlin, another UK company, so far:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q-Series Skidata:

This set had some issues during production, such as 2.25u and 2.75u key sizes having to be produced in QS profile instead. A DSA spacebars were used for all sizes except 6u since Devlin does not have the correct moulds for other sizes. This keyset was sold as a group-buy on MechSupply, but due to the issues, all customers were refunded. The keyset was then made available on UKKeycaps at a low price and has now sold out. This keyset will not be re-run unless tooling is produced for at least the 2.25u key size.



K-Series Rad-Away/Retroist

Run as a group-buy on MechSupply the same time as Skidata, this Planck keyset also faced some rather large issues. Originally marketed as a dark forest green, the keyset was actually produced in a lighter mint green due to Devlin providing incorrect RGB values. Customers were refunded and the keyset was re-named to Retroist and made available on UKKeycaps. The keyset was incredibly popular due to the amazing thickness of the keycaps and sold out quickly.



K-Series Aurora

Due to the popularity of Retroist, another K-Series set was produced, this time adding Preonic support. Aurora was made available as a group-buy on MechSupply with leftovers being sold on UKKeycaps. The keyset is now sold out.



Q-Series Pennine

Pennine is the first Q-Series set since Skidata and all previous mistakes have been learnt from. Pennine is based on the keyset used on Pennine point-of-service keyboards produced by Devlin. Colour samples and legends were carefully checked before the group-buy commenced. Pennine features the original POS 'novelties' and added Ergodox support as a separate kit. Pennine is still available on MechSupply and will be shipping in early May




Hope you have found this interesting, if you have any questions about Devlin keycaps, feel free to ask!
