XMI Vintage Support Extension Set - Support Vintage Layouts!
TL;DR: i like vintage layouts. there are more and more modernized vintage boards. i want keycap support for these boards, and i want them to be accessible(cheap).UPDATE 23-10-06: I've changed manufacturers due to JC Studio not being able to produce this kit. The new manufacturer is XMI, please check photos below!! I will also be offering this as a full kit, as opposed to the originally proposed "extension kit"GB THREAD!StoryWhen I was prototyping the
Muramasa project (shameless) with F107 layout, I couldn't find a keycap set that could fit my 3X5 nav. So, as a wise man once said:
"Be the change you want to see."I want this to have an actual chance of making it, and I want it to be accessible to as many people as possible. Therefore, I have chosen to go with dyesub PBT, from JC Studio (aka leekbros) XMI. From what I've seen before from them, they have pretty decent quality for the price. In addition, they also have plenty of beige sets that can match this kit. For all your vintage board needs.
