I've had some spherical Alps keycaps that I've been sitting on for a while not knowing what to do with. They're not the best quality. They're engraved black/grey keycaps with white legends. Presumably they came off of some video editing machine (judging by the legends printed on them). I'll have to play around with some different switches because they don't seem to hold on too strongly when I've tried putting them on a board before. For my birthday I decided to put them to use and build something cool.

FHere's the layout I was thinking of. It perfectly fits the number of keys that I have and it's based off of a layout that I really liked from one of my other posts [1]. Note: I can't remember where the spacebar came from but it's huge and I love it.

Interested to see what you guys think. Any recommended modifications? Thanks!

Looking good. Maybe organise the caps so they look like a chess board :D
