Inspiration
This set takes inspiration from the aesthetics of the 1980s-1990s digital dashboard- now in PBS.

Yes, I knw there's a lot more green, but you can see the preponderance of green and orange here. (https://www.core77.com/posts/109822/A-Look-at-Some-Wild-1980s-Digital-Dashboards)

Even though this set was popular during its interest check as an MTNU set, it failed to attract a US Vendor. After using PBS Aperture, I thought PBS would be a nice pair for the overall "look" of Dashboard. Furthermore, PBS is dyesub, which allowed for more customization of the design typeface and more colorful novelties.  I am proud to present the PBS Dashboard.

I'd like to thank the Keyboard Designer's forum, Switchbox.Studio for the enter novelty, Matt3o for designing the profile, and Kasper from Monocokeebs for answering my questions!

Looks nice! I have two recommendations:

1) Please add alt homing F J H U N T to the Base kit. They're in the 40s kit, but alt layouts are used on larger keyboards too.

2) While a fully-convex bottom row looks cool, pinkies slip off convex keycaps. Thumbs don't want sharp edges, but pinkies are like the other six fingers and work best with a dish.
