The space bars should color match the alphanums. Esc and F5-F8 should be the alternate color/shade. You are now mad, because you know this.

I still want one! Shut up and take my money!

Next time, could you add the iso set up to the right too? It carries the other normal extra sets, so I don't see why not.

I think there wasn't room for the ISO keys on the sheet.

[troll] And not very many people use the antiquated ISO layout, anyway. [/troll]

duhhhhh yea I don't know why we didn't think of that. lets blame Mystery Kawa

we wanted to, but I wasn't sure if it would fit and didn't know what the ISO return/size stuff was without Ripster's cherry wiki and was too sad about not getting a mystery key. I'll blame Mystery Kawa for this too!

over in making stuff together or something. on phone so lazy to look

PM me tonight to remind me and i'll fix the colors and send you a new 11x17 one instead

If someone can post or PM exactly what keys to put in the ISO set (for sure the enter measurements) i'll put that into the 11x17 one where it will surely fit

For the ISO Enter, stack a 1.5-unit key on top of a 1.25-unit key, and there you have it. 1.25 Left Shift should be easy enough. Then add 1-unit |\ and ><| keys and you're done.

Went with 5m ad I though the 7m would be too thick

Post by: absyrd on Tue, 28 August 2012, 18:09:45
5m is plenty thick. I'll buy one to support geekhack, but I don't collect sets so I think it'll be my dog bowl mat. ;D

When you order keycap sets, you can easily check them with this sheet to make sure you received all the proper keys.

Or, you can place your keycap sets on them for pictures when you decide to sell them, to show they are complete.

Yeah... that. And you could also add the use of getting partial sets from old Cherry boards, early group buys (R3 sets always seem to be missing a few keys, for example), putting together sets for custom layouts (ie KMAC), etc  and knowing what keys you need to hunt down to complete your set without putting them physically on a board or laying them next to one.

Could someone release these in Illustrator, Inc Scape, InDesign or whatever format you use. I will add the ISO set and make it A4 or whatever paper size is necessary and just print a few at home.

I sort of need ISO.
