Those of us using a custom or ergo boards, most of the time, are left in the cold trying to match keycaps to layout. So here’s my proposal for a kind of ergo-compilation set.

Material: PBT

Color: GDE

Printing: Dye Sub

Profile: DSA

The color I picked because If felt is reasonably professional, neutral, wouldn’t be too bright, and integrates well with the black dye sub.

This set is designed to cover three areas: Maltron, Ergodox, and Kinesis Advantage.

Maltron users will also have a purchase a PBT dye sub number pad set from pmk to fill-out their boards.

Kinesis users will want to check http://sitr.us/2014/05/19/kinesis-advan ... ycaps.html in regards to issues in fitting DSA on the Kinesis.

Deep dish keys cover QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, and Malt. And they’re designed to either use one for each pointer finger or one for each of the four home row fingers.

Function keys are included here because they’re split on pmk and would require buying a modifier set for the standard keyboard.

It will use the same font as pmk’s dye sub PBT, as it’s designed to integrate with those sets. If there’s enough interest it’ll be submitted pmk’s launchpad and, if approved by them for listing, the whole thing will come as one lot; so everyone will be subsidizing everyone else.

So far I’ve tried to cover as much ground as I can. But with the variety in ergodox layouts total coverage may not be possible. I’ve tried to select what I feel covers the most common uses.

Suggestions, of course, highly welcome.

EDIT:
Based on statistics from http://dox.codeslingers.co.uk/, I've made some additions.

EDIT:
Set would now require the purchase of a standard base set of dyse sub DSA on pmk.
