Original design (September 2017)

About

Hi, kinda late with that keyset initially made for the MD MD Contest which dates from September 2017 or so, but here is the Extended 2048 keyset, heavily inspired by the AEKII. The main idea was to create an icon based keyset with a neo-retro look, inspired by old Apple keyboards.

~~I'm currently discussing with Input Club to make the GB on their site.~~ We thought that MIX EDRUG profile could be interesting. I'm also considering MT3 and KAT, but nothing is ldecided.
I think it'd be PBT Dye-Sub since everything is custom.

The font is open-source, and icons are handmade.

I'm also still hesitating between white and "vintage" off-white color with yellow spacebar (and even some accents).
I'm still open to any additional kit like Nordeuk, mono, etc.
I'll probably make a pool very soon!

Huge thanks to Oblotkzy for the render of the Planck

Thanks for the feedback.

"Mac function" keys look great. Much more useful than a standard F-row.

More or less, but I put a lot of effort on this keyset since a while now, and I really want this set to 'become alive'.
If you look at the MD thread (https://www.massdrop.com/talk/2343/community-keycap-set-design-contest/1828936), I had the idea months ago, it's definitively not a copy.

Don't get me wrong, I love this set as well; just wasn't sure you were aware of Oblique.

Might join anyway.

I love AEK and am glad it's finally getting some love in MX form.

I'm aware of XDA Oblique. that's also why I think I'll go full Icons.
I just took too much time to make the IC, and this is totally my bad and it's unfortunate. I could have started this IC in January…

Like it generally, but the centered italic legend looks kinda "unbalanced" to me. Love the "vintage" colour.

To my mind, since it doesn't have tertiary legends, vertically centered legends are the best looking in this case.

MT3 would be an instant buy from me - I love that profile and these legends look awesome.

ShadeDream · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 12 June 2018, 19:37:01 »

Looks interesting. Would probably be interested if it was on ePBT or something similar enough to a cherry profile. Oblique looks great, I'm just not a fan of XDA.

holtenc · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 12 June 2018, 19:38:20 »

I really dig the font and overall theme. I haven't tried Mix or MT3 yet, though I'm generally more of a fan of uniform profiles like DSA. Unfortunately none of the kits have the kind of compatibility I need for my KBs.

ChrisSwires · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 13 June 2018, 02:49:21 »

I'd be in for DSA or KAT more than likely - Honestly though I would advocate that people stop showing designs before deciding the profile. It's a weird way of doing things and if you pick mt3 for example then I'm no longer interested (as I'm sure is the case for others if you picked DSA etc).

Also, maybe MT3 won't really fit the look of AEKII. Anyways, I'll make a Google Poll and see which profile people prefer!

Thats to big · « **Reply #29 on:** Wed, 13 June 2018, 04:33:21 »

I really like vintage set (especially the second spacebar)

IMO mix would be the better for Apple style keyset.

But the icon you use for shift is the MacOS's ctrl icon and the round for ctrl also isn't that great

and the backspace don't really look great imo (for what i see it's a reversed tab)

Thanks for the feed-back. I have to admit that the icon I used for shift is kinda misleading indeed.
I should probably use it for ctrl instead.

And well, I could go for something like that for Backspace then :

OxC0FFEE · « **Reply #31 on:** Wed, 13 June 2018, 08:04:26 »

My vote is for MIX over MT3. I have /dev/tty in MT3, and it doesn’t seem like it would have the right feel for this set.

also why not ^ for ctrl and the regular upward pointing arrow that’s standard iconography for Mac shift? Is it too late to normalize the iconography with the menubar fonts from the OS?

i love the “vintage“ colorway. Could we see some renders combining it and the whiter caps and some on their own?

monkeyplusplus · « **Reply #32 on:** Wed, 13 June 2018, 10:51:44 »

I'd love to see this in MIX as well. Of course I know preferences are all over the place for what profile to use. MIX basically has zero representation in custom sets, and I think it fits the AEK vibe better than the more retro MT3. Is there any more information on the profile for MIX? I would be curious to see how the f-row fits in the general profile.

I totally agree. Mix would look better with this set.
Well there are some sources over the internet and also a nice comparison with other keycap profiles.

It should be 1-1-2-3-4-4, correct me if I'm wrong.

Nostrum · « **Reply #34 on:** Wed, 13 June 2018, 12:07:44 »

Well, I find that it looks better when it's "refined". The goal is not to copy Mac keyboards keycaps but to take inspiration from those.
Extended 2048 is more a sequel than the logical continuation of these keyboards design.

I like it more when it's just 2 strokes, it looks cleaner IMO. And, I'm kinda bored of these icons tbh, we see them everywhere

I wanna have something a bit more "unique".

Hey, after testing KAT, I really liked the smoothness and the feeling of this « mini SA » profile, and I think it’d fit the aesthetic better. I’ll update the thread soon, I’ll go for KAT for Extended.

Hey, thanks for your interest. This project is on hold right now. Once DSA Milkshakes GB is done, I’ll work on Extended 2048 again.

Huey from topclack did a review some time back :

MIX is the same thing, I think the name might have changed a bit. Kono store is also running a set in this profile now ( PBT dyesubbed)

MT3 is fully sculpted I believe. If you can work out a deal with Matt3o it will be awesome. I know the manufacturer of MT3 personally and can help if needed.

My vote is for MT3. This but flatter is XDA Oblique. For those who want to push the envelope with an AEK-inspired sculpted, this in MT3 would be super cool.

Well I would not say that AEKs were "so" sculpted, but MT3 is definitively a good profile.
I guess I'll make a poll after I updated all the kits with the different rows

It's your call, bro! KAT looks very promising to me too.
Thanks for working on this.

I just need some time to work on it, I’m putting effort on other sets atm, but I should still be able to 'finish' this one later this year!

I also just got my first MT3 set. I'm not sure what it is, but they feel and sound amazing. Probably a combination of the aggressive sculpture, scooped tops, interesting texture, and very thick keycaps. The only thing that is remotely close to them is the keycaps on my pingmaster. I have a feeling that was part of the inspiration behind the profile.

Abec13 · « **Reply #81 on:** Thu, 04 October 2018, 16:19:29 »

Is this going to happen? I would love this set. White-based DSA sets get my vote always.

Honeywell, Milkshake, Drifter, the list goes on.

TheAutoManCan · « **Reply #82 on:** Thu, 04 October 2018, 19:33:11 »

This looks very interesting! I'm a huge fan of sets with full icon mods. Only thing I would suggest is to work up a spacebar kit.

Not really a monopoly, but more of an over indulgence.

It would be nice to see something different than GMK. Everyone seems to want it, but then cries about the pricing of the base sets.

coffeeshopcoder · « **Reply #90 on:** Tue, 11 December 2018, 00:40:32 »

I was rooting for MT3, but now with godspeed coming in MT3, I think I will root for KAT.
I still love SA, and after using MT3 (dev/tty) for a bit, the live is fading a bit. mostly for the rougher texture on the top surface of the caps.
I like a smoother texture similar to sp sa or epbt, which I think KAT provides. Have never tried KAT, would love this to be my first set!

this looks great. if this is still happening would you consider putting in 1 more key into the ortho kit for preonic coverage? (the bs/delete key you have in the planck render in addition to the one in the ortho kit)

I'll update the thread as soon as I receive confirmation for the new profile

And yes, since it'll be sculpted, I'll have to update all the kits anyway!

AFAIK - this set moved to cherry profile and was produced by epbt. The GB was complete last year and the sets were delivered. Not sure if a spherical top - Kat/MT3/MIX sculpted profile is still alive. Check the time stamps on the last messages from BiiP

This set is one of the things I've wanted the most since I started learning about the this hobby.
I love these designs which reminds me old-time Macintosh.
I'm very happy to get a chance of join the GB again!

By the way, are there any plans to implement the TORII kit in this round?
