Okay guys, this might be it. The best set you've ever had

Standard TKL Cream on Coffee


Mods in Coffee


C64 first release kit, white on mustard


Elegance kit, cream on plum (because it's just too good not to make it!)


Numpad kit


Ergodox kit, I placed this alone because it's 32 darn keys just for that

This is totally going the way of Round 4. :p

a huge success?

anyway, I might reintegrate the ergodox

oi you stay positive

Kit 4, white on mustard, rather than have the three end keys (scrolllock) what about doing the arrow cluster?

well, you need the full row, don't you? why you say so? Is that a layout from some arcane keyboard?

we might add the arrow cluster that wouldn't impact that much on pricing

I can't see images from work but please put ISO kit (3 keys or 2 keys if mods kit) in each different color kit

they are already there

please note that the mustard kit includes just the function row (is there something I can do to have you access to the pics?)

Don't worry I have full confidence in you

on GH they say this set has an European style. Don't know if that's a compliment

I take back my previous comment, this keyset is looking great!

Ok, I wasn't too interested....then I see the cream in plum. So many nice earthy colours. Should try to incorporate that lime green somehow as well.

If this go well maybe will be a 2nd run with different colors.
So GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY Join the crowd!

Im sure ill be wrong but I always saw scroll lock row not being part if function row but part of the home cluster.

yeah, that would be a very special kit. we might instead have the right 3 columns in mustard, very C64ish... but looking at the Toxic kit on GH I like the horizontal line.

I still can't settle for cream on mustard. I never saw a C64 in person which had this color scheme, and I still don't like it. Once again, I would prefer pebble grey instead of mustard.

But that's just on behalf of creating a C64 lookalike set, which is exactly what I want.

But I have to admit, that cream on plum looks nice as well.

With the current configuration I would probably buy
2x Kit 1
2x Kit 2
1x Kit 3
1x Kit 5

or

1x Kit 1
1x Kit 1
1x Kit 3

depending on the price.

By the way, is there anybody here, who really wants the Function row in brown? Otherwise I might propose changing the Color of the Function Row in the default kit.

This is the color we are trying to replicate:



I believe that mustard goes extremely well together with coffee, but it's not written on stone, I'd be happy with grey too.

It's just I never saw this color on a C64 except in this photo. The color scheme I know on every single C64 I've seen is this:

Sorry when I posted that pic I should have been clearer. The first batch of c64's used a lot of vic20 parts.

So maybe a commodore group buy, vic20 and c64

indeed the kit is called "C64 first release"

anyway this is our set not mine. if people prefer grey, grey it is.

to have a better idea of how they would look like

grey


mustard


I love both

Tough call, but if you are including the Commodore mod keys, then the grey looks more "Commodore" to me. I don't really care either way though.

Yeah for the sake of a few extra keys I'd get both. can you do a pic with home row all brown including scroll and the arrows in the ligher colour please? See them side by side.

I would prefer it to be all brown with red Escape and green Retrun (just a few keys in different colors), but not a 2-color-scheme!



When I take a kit I need the following extras:
1 units:
- lock-symbol aus Round 4 -
+
&
=
0
< (
> )
~ :
~

1.25 units
Return or Line or CR or LF or something similar

1.5 units:
2x Shift
2x Hyper

Nice to see there will be enough space bars for me in the ErgoDoc kit.

Now we're getting close to perfection imho!

The grey looks bad. If at all it should be that beige. But except for Escape I will not use any of these anyway!

look even commodore messed up the colour scheme!



Didn't know they did monitors

That doesn't look bad, just isn't c64. The colours work well together mind.

great... now I'm totally confused

I love that green return though. If there's no interest for a mustard (or grey or whatever) row I'll waive that out.

you mean like so?

we could make an "extras kit" instead of the mustard row, but it would be extremely difficult to pick what to place inside

thanks very much quite like it. Guess it's upto the masses mind.
