Inspiration



This kids typewriter is inspired by the French retro film Populaire — a romantic masterpiece featuring 1950s French aesthetics and competitive typing. We took design cues from the Hermès typewriter with ten-finger ergonomic zone painting in the film, transforming the elegant ritual of vintage typewriters into a lightweight, child-friendly form.

Relax, I'll remember. Once the model and font are confirmed, I'll add it to the queue in time. :thumb:

You could remove the alternate home keys from the 40% kit. This color pattern only works with the QWERTY layout.

Could you please provide me with some alternative imges? Since I have very little knowledge about the 40 layout, but I would be more than happy to adjust them. :thumb:

Nice. Reminds me of charts for teaching touch-typing:

Sorry I didn't explain better. I'm just suggesting a way to slightly reduce the price of the 40% kit.

Uniform profile sets like PBS and DSA only need 6 extra keys to support alternative layouts like Dvorak and Colemak. It's common for PBS 40% sets to have them: non-homing F & J plus homing H, U, N, and T. As a Dvorak user I usually request adding these six keycaps to PBS 65% and 100% kits too, but it doesn't work when there is a color pattern in the alphas.

Regarding the color pattern in the 40% kit, I recommend adjusting the numrow colors. Because finger movement on orthorlinear and column-staggered keyboards is straight up and down.

Most row-staggered 40s keyboards don't have a numrow, but the V4N4G0N has a partial one. Maybe take a pole to see if there is any interest in numkeys for small row-staggered boards?

Any thoughts from 40s users?

I have updated the 40s layout according to this idea, and I think it is excellent. Thanks:thumb:
