Nice to see a modern take on Classic Retro Arabic instead of everyone chasing the original. The mix of L9, U9, RO2 and CR gives it a warm look.
One small wish from a design point of view: I'd love to see a few accent keys in a warm dark grey or off-black. Beige is a light colour and the red is quite saturated, so together they can get a little tiring on the eyes over time. A handful of warm dark keys, or another low saturation colour, would add some weight and tie the whole set together. Pairing it with a neutral case would help in the same way and make the overall board easier on the eyes.
Looking forward to seeing the full kit renders for the extension kit.

:eek: :eek:The cold cast copper and brass work is seriously impressive, and it's great to see someone still making Topre stem artisans and 6U spacebars :)
This one in particular caught my eye. How do you get that speckled blue effect on the copper? Is it a real chemical patina on the cold cast surface, or is it painted on afterwards?
I've just started tinkering with resin myself, so one more beginner question if you don't mind: is the cold cast metal a surface layer brushed into the mold, or mixed through the whole pour?

Switching the mods from translucent GTD to the more opaque GG sounds like a good call for legend clarity. Curious to see how the matching LAE key and the little novelty kit turn out.

The brown marbled stone effect on the accent keys is beautiful too. It makes a lovely highlight and ties in nicely with the keyboard as a whole.
I'd love to see a closer render of the novelties on their own. Good luck with the IC!

But then when they repacked it for 4K, they removed the "simulated grain." VIA a destructive upscaling algo. (denoiser)
IDK.... It's hrrrm... Digital is digital, buhhh stilll, if you already gon and decided on an artistic direction and now you show up with this ultra scrubbed version.
It's double post processed. idkkkkk, kinda just doesn't sit right.

« Last post by cndisk6 on Sat, 03 October 2026, 11:14:48 »why is there a windowed key on the pcb layout picture at the position of the home key and none at the scroll lock?
Same with the esc key location. There is no windowed key in the pcb layout but there is a windowed key in one of your renders
Thank you so much for your help!!! I will update later.
