Title: Who can identify this OLD keycap set
Post by: metalliqaz on Wed, 14 August 2019, 14:39:10

I'm talking about the number row in these photos:  https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=29324.0

It is usually found paired with the OG Red Alert from Korea, however it is obviously not using the SP legends from that era.

What is it?  I have a set but I don't know what to call it.

thanks.

I think it's just an addon kit for OTD red alert, dunno what else I would call it:

The full basic set contains 170 keys! And more additional keys are available in an addon set:
* Number Row `~ 1! 2 @ 3 # 4 $ 5% 6 ^ 7 & 8 * 9 (0)-_ = + (12 keys - white on red - inverse of the basic set)
Enter Key (1 key, white on red - inverse of the basic set)
Aikon (1 key, F-key row)
OTD (1 key, F-key row)
OTD (1 key, F-key row)
"Left-Hand" Logo (1 key, Fkey row)

I believe it was an addon pack for the OTD Red Alert set, also made by SP.

Well that's pretty conclusive, thanks.

I always assumed that they were separate because of the bizarre legends.  Guess I was wrong :)
