Title: Sets with an Apple Mac Command symbol key?
Post by: Coreda on Wed, 15 January 2014, 23:11:02

Saw one of mashby's Poker boards with double shots and a proper Mac Command (⌘) keycap and got me wondering how many other full/modifier sets include these keycaps?

The Happy Hacking also includes one (the diamond symbol also looks nice in the RGBY sets).

Non-Windows logos. All day everyday.

The Raindrop R1 set had one, not sure about R2 as I don't keep up with MX cap sets anymore.

I ordered a WASDKeyboard and designed my own Mac keys. See http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53523.0 (post is still awaiting approval though).

If you are interested in the layout, I can share it if you want.

I *need* to know what caps those ones on the poker board in the OP are.

You can get the st john's arms keycap from signature plastics (like mashby's kb) or with any apple-intended keyboard (matias makes many) WASK will laser pretty much anything on your keycaps. Blanks are common (it's what I use) and the diamond symbol (what I also use) comes in a lot of the RGBY kits I have had.

many non-windows options!

also

Great info, thanks vader! Will explore those options soonish when I get my new board.

Also completely unique symbols such as found on the Miami sets, etc are nice alternatives, too.
