No final word yet from SP, but I have secured permission from hashbaz to use the Cherry-replica legends. I was inspired to create a more accurate mockup, so here it is.
Keep in mind, there are a few unknowns with the mockup at this point. Several legends may not yet exist, namely the Fn keys and the nonstandard Backspaces.
If the Fn keys do not yet exist, I may scrap them from the final set, unless someone is willing to sponsor them. There are two 1U Fn keys, one for each of the bottom two rows. Fortunately DCS uses the same row profile for both bottom rows, so it's a two-for-one deal. I will likely sponsor the 1U Fn key for Infinity compatibility, but the 1.25U legend will be up for grabs if anyone is strongly opposed to using blanks. This person will also get to choose between "Fn," "Func" or "Function" since the 1.25U key is big enough for the whole word.
The backspaces will have to be done either way. I've tossed around a few different options here, and settled on a text-only legend for the 1.5U backspace, and an icon-only legend for the 1U backspace. Feel free to let me know if you strongly disagree with either of these.
There is one more thing that surprised me, and that's the Control keys. Based on the files I received from hashbaz, I don't think there exists a "Ctrl" or even a "CTRL" legend in the SP Cherry-replica set. I'm pretty sure "Control" is there in both sizes. Are we OK with this? I suppose anyone who is married to the abbreviated version is free to sponsor the legends if they want to.
So anyway, this may all be premature as I still haven't heard back from Melissa. I just want to get the ball rolling on some potential tough decisions here.
A word regarding sponsored legendsSignature Plastics charges $45 to cut a new legend, and those legends are row-specific
and width-specific (e.g., 1U vs. 1.25U). One of hashbaz's conditions for using these legends is that any Cherry-style legends that need to be added, must be included back into the full Cherry-replica set. So if you sponsor a legend, you will not own the rights to it as is sometimes the case. But hashbaz is super cool and generally will approve any community GB, so you're basically contributing to the GeekHack "public domain" and making sure that future buy organizers won't have to hunt down 27 different users to get permission.
