Was after vectors of a stock TKL. Saw jacobolus post this raster image in another thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61936.0) and something like it would be perfect, as I was looking for a graphic with both the outer edges and face/tops of the caps (rather than just a single outline of the keys).

I don’t quite understand. Can you start over and explain precisely what you want, and what your use case is?
-
Still in need of some extra-sensorial abilities to decipher what the actual OP's needs.
-
Looking for vectors (SVGs, etc) of TKL keyboards, such as seen in the OP. Whether just the outline as shown below or with color like the OP graphic. The use is for illustration purposes.

By 'outer edges and face/tops of the caps' I mean two elements as seen above. Many diagrams of keyboards I've found only are outlines of the keys, such as below, which aren't what I'm looking for.

Yeah, I’m still totally confused. :-)
You want an SVG of the keycap outlines for a TKL keyboard, with no legends printed on them?
Or you want the SVG of the keycap outlines for a 60% with bigass enter and arabic on it?
Or...
You want just keycap outside/top outlines, or you want some shading?
If you’re trying to make something like that arabic keyboard diagram you posted, just the shapes (ignoring the letters inside) are pretty trivial to make in Illustrator / Inkscape / etc.

I'm looking for the layout exactly as in the OP, with the keycap characters, whether shaded or in outline, as a vector. Hope that clarifies it some.
Not in Arabic :P that was only to show what a wireframe would look like without the shading, but doesn't represent the layout or legends I was wanting.

Hi,
I believe WASD Keyboards have some layout files. http://support.wasdkeyboards.com/customer/portal/articles/1380026-layout-template-files (http://support.wasdkeyboards.com/customer/portal/articles/1380026-layout-template-files) Best used with Inkscape application: https://inkscape.org/en/ (https://inkscape.org/en/)

As the screenshot shows, these files show inner and outer edges of keys. Inner edges is represented by the "key grids" layer. And can easily be turned on/off.
For TKL, I would say, easy to just delete the keys from the template.

Thanks :) Keys are a bit too far apart though. Otherwise fairly close to what I'm looking for.

I didn’t put any substantial amount of work into the legends here. Many of the glyphs, especially for symbol keys, kinda suck. But maybe it’ll suit your purpose.

Dude, dude, you're a saint. This is incredible and just what I was looking for.
Thanks so much!

What are you planning to do with it?

Should this information be archived in the existing CAD thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47744.0)?

Possible use for a topic. Needed some flexibility in the asset to see what may look good.

I have no idea what this means. :-)
