No. I mean just the circuit board.

Will the board without a kit be available?

Nice!

yeah there's one somewhere

Ahhh. Found it. Vendors kit.

No Whitefox key?

This novelty? Or something else celtic?

If you make it as far South as Spain, I would highly recommend Granada.

Use the Keyboard Layout Creator on Windows or Karabiner on mac. Not sure about Linux options.

I write code with it every day. I just disable the dead keys and use Alt-Gr.

aaaah right. what a lovely layout. it would require a dedicated kit... which might be a bit overkill. Unless you can find 30-ish people interested

It could work without the keys that are just simple accent replacements. Also the symbols are mostly fluff in my opinion. The important subset would ...

Where did that green set of keycaps come from?

you say the last picture?

Green and white US International set

@heymark

Where did that green set of keycaps come from?

I really like the idea of using color for functional subset!

Matt_ wrote: Great mix of keycaps!

The irony is that the US-Int layout is better suited for some language than dedicated national variants (for instance it's easier to type proper french with US-Int than with ISO-FR).

Currently living in Spain, and US International has been perfect for Spanish.

Did someone say US International?

Perfect!

That is beautiful. There is something amazing about those characters. I especially like the blue dysub bits.

Nice!

Which font did you choose?

Symbols. Definitely symbols.

Received a wonderful package from a fellow deskthority today with some long-sought keycaps.

No way to express how pleased I am with my International Fox!

(Apologies to @matt3o for the mix of fonts and colors)

Only Gateron Green Witches!

A agree about the Helvetica Q, but I've never liked the Helvetica R. The squiggly leg seems to me to be out of character with the rest of the font. There are no squiggly elements in the entire font except that one.

Just so everyone knows what Akzidenz is...

Not so bad if it's big.

I do *love* the numbers.

I guess I'm just a tired old man.

I believe what Mu is saying is that often the boldness and roundness of double-shot legends are due to the intrinsic limitation of the technology more than an artistic choice. what we could do with dye-sub is much more diverse and intricate.

Got it. I still like big and bold. Is diverse/intricate ...

That's a doubleshot font if I ever saw one.

And no, I don't mean that as a compliment! Way too much like Gorton Dummified for me.

Ya. I definitely was not advocating doubleshot. Just looking at the font. I like the bigness and the boldness. For what it's worth, I think that's what draws people ...
