Geekhack's very own keycap paper

[inlikeflynn]

I was bored on a conference call today and figured Geekhack needed its own keycap paper instead of borrowing/stealing the KBD branded one always.

So here is a 1st attempt at a standard 104key ANSI US layout to be printed on legal size paper.

Here is a sample image of it:

Here is the actual PDF which prints out correctly on legal size paper and all the keys seem to fit.

If anyone has a suggestion to make it better, please let me know. Once the final revision of this 104key is complete, its not to difficult to make additional keycap papers for 87key, winkeyless, G81's, etc.

Thanks, -inlikeflynn

I'll stick to my original ones made by leaf and not have a huge ass branding with your name on it, thanks though

That's great. Can you do the other layouts too and A4 paper size

Nice, thanks for doing this.

Might as well just use the original since this look like a copy of leaf's the whole layout and everything is alike

I don't have a problem removing my name off it, that doesn't matter to me as I was playing around during a conf call.

I really only wanted the GH logo on it and something which could be adapted to layouts other than just the LEAF/OldCherry only one.

You're right that they do look very similar, as there are very few ways one can arrange the keys and still have them fit on a piece of paper everyone can print

needs more caps like 1.5 modifiers, etc

my thinking was that the winkeyless boards with 1.5 mods would be their own sheet specific to them, rather than trying to have 1 sheet work for everything. Or do you think just 1 sheet with all the options would be better?

A GH logo or even your name is okay if it was original which I cant say it is.

Looks exactly like leaf's minus the multi layout format.

What we need is to go beyond sheet of paper, to piece of plastic with cruciform mounts that actually hold the keycaps. This could double as storage device, to keep them all ordered unlike tossing them in a sack. Now that would be useful, paper is not. What you need a paper for anyway?

You guys are soooo taking this name thing outta proportion...


What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet;

If you follow leaf's original design, there's only so much you can do to make the two look different (aesthetically).

An "expanded" paper for A4 with more modified options, etc. would be great. You could add some dotted lines / shading to some of the modifiers to accommodate other caps.
