The project:

https://drop.com/buy/drop-mito-dcx-9009-keycap-set Launching with just a couple weeks of lead time, amazing packaging trays and crips colors & legends, this is the mandatory execution of the classic 9009 colorway which we all love on the DCX profile. If this succeeds I would like to incorporate more kits in the future such as Norde, 40% etc.

quick photo, take with a grain of salt


Hope you are excited, thanks for checking the project! Edit: There will be custom keyboard cables with quick release YC8 connectors available for purchase, like the render shows (green and red connectors, beige techflex/paracord/USBs).

Feel like the traditional look of icon only backspace, enter, tab and shift would be more appropriate. No?

I'm aware. Typing this on a 9009 kit like that.. I do think more people prefer the traditional look though, like the word consistent has no meaning anymore since this is what we are used to for like 40 years now (the IBM legacy

) and this is a kit replicating the G80-9009

but gotcha. And as a iso user - text + icon on a 1.25U Shift.. it's never worked ever. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to these things lol and I just want the "ultimate 9009 set". And personal preference, I just think doing it like this makes more sense. Looks cleaner, like traditionally - there were established pc icons for those keys but not for Control, Alt etc.

fredrikpThere actually are icons for all those symbols, including Control, Alt etc. it’s a standardized norm established by ISO and it is documented and reasonably enforced by the institution. I have a physical fine print of the norm and use it on the regular to design sets (it’s very expensive). The reason why some of the icons were not used by some peripheral making companies is because of conflict with OS on early days of computing plus the fact that software and OS’s evolved a lot and very rapidly, there was no standard for that and functions that should be on the systems. As for the set here, it is impossible to say if more users like icons or icons + text but what I’m sure about is that icon options are widely available on the market and DCX will be different since it is doubleshot with icons + text. So the more options for everyone to enjoy the better. Thanks for the feedback though, what keyboard are you using? Good chat!

MiToUnigo66; RGBKB's Mun, two Sol2s, a Pan (takes ergo caps); an Infinity Club Ergodox; and several (like 7 or 8) Boardwalks - which take ergo caps. I also built a custom Boardwalk TKL.
