Description

Hello everyone! I would like to introduce KeyKobo-Retro Red Light.

This is one of my favorite sets from the “Retro” series, which took a year to design and opitmization.
Same as KeyKobo-Retro Mixed Lights, this set will be manufactured by KeyKobo, and I hope it will still be available in-stock.

● Inspiration

The inspiration comes from Data General 6246.
Data General 6246 is a clicky Fujitsu Leaf Spring keyboard for the Data General 6242 terminal. The keyboards of D200, D210 series, produced by data general around 1982.

● Updated SWG Kitting

_____________________________________________________________________

● Original KKB IC Kitting

General Data (base)
● Same as Retro Mixed Lights, the W/A/S/D keys in General Data(base kit) are tripleshot.
● The CapsLock/Stepped capslock/ANSI Enter/Esc keys are using customized molds.

● The front legends are pad print.
● To better match the concept, we changed the top of red relegendable from clear translucent to gray after the discussion with the manu. And I wish the final prototype would be satisfying.

Red Light (Novelties) / Beige Alpha
● Novelties are tripleshot, not pad print.

Extras (Spacebars and Accents) / Numbers (Numpad)

● Renders
These renders took me a lot of time in order to make them look as realistic as possible, and the color reproduction is more accurate.

● Collocation Suggestion

There are many ways to play with the kit combinations: you can generate many different color schemes from them.
I created two renders for instance and for reference.
