Cool looking board

Danish layout without Funtion low.

How is it danish, I thought they were both ISO and had a couple of extra Nordic keys? Did you mean Danish layout without function row?

I use origiral dolch ISO. ( \| , enter, shift and F-row)
Orange have short left shift, right shift and J enter.
Yes. I mean function row.

Personally, orange keycap is better than origiral dolch, i think.
They have same ground color but littte different feeling when typing.

That windowed capslock is my favorite key on the set

It's just US ISO, not Danish. Danish layout is a bit different and has Å, Æ and Ø instead of the [ : " keys. One of the odd colorways in Cherry I don't own and really want.

Dolch commissioned these from Cherry corp?? Any ideas on what model sniffer or are they just being called Dolch because they share the gray/ charcoal colorway?

I don't think anyone knows the origin for certain yet, but conjecture may conclude it was on an earlier Dolch model right when they moved to Cherry oem. The pre-Cherry oem version did have the same colorscheme, but on some closer to SP like keycaps. Could even have been some prototypes or who knows what.
I have never seen them or even a mention of them before some of these sets turned up on taobao recently, and still quite sad I missed it.

hmm well unless they are protos then there should be sets floating around due to Cherry's MOQ

did they come with keyboards?

Right, but also unfortuneatly too much vintage stuff goes into the landfill since many people just have the old=junk mentality. For all we know the other 2,990 keyboards got thrown out 20 years ago.

:( Sounds like we should make this the first SP Cherry project instead of regular Dolch. :D

I think you set the bar on most desired keycaps... at least in my book.  Reeeeeally nice.  :)

Since you guys seem to love this colour combo Orange and Charcoal, maybe this could be another decent Group Buy to propose for everyone else here on Geekhack.

Maybe include them with the Dolch set?  Could be a very interesting and totally unique Geekhack Key-set.

Hell Yes!!!
Would love to see a GB for replicating these!  - Only thing I might change would be the use a slightly darker grey

I believe the first set of SP doubleshot keys to use these legends, http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=28324.0, is going to be a dolch replica set.

I've been having trouble getting a regular Dolch set.  Let alone this awesome one, wherever it came from.  Nice find.
