KAM Wraith
Hi Keebtalk users
Heavily inspired (and assumed) by the Sinclair ZX Spectrum from 1982, this set aims to have an 80s aesthetic with double colored legends, which is kinda unique and innovative IMO.
This is possible using the all-over dye-sub technique. The manufacturer from the KAT profile (Keyreative) told me they are able to do that, and since I wanted to keep a uniform profile to fit the look of vintage Sinclair keyboards, I thought it would be nice to use KAM profile .
Thanks in advance for your feedback

This looks amazing! I agree KAM + Smooth and Glossy is my preference.
I would buy this irregardless but do you think you can add an Assembly kit (ala Oblivion?)
This would have Z80 CPU opcodes/instructions.
Here is one source of these: Zilog Z80A Technical Information

Well I built the ortho kit in that way tbh, but yeah maybe should I dissociate them.
Thanks for your suggestion
100% in for this. I think this will be for my Grid 600/Ergo60 build.

After giving it some thought I think the kits are fine as is. If using Assembly mnemonics it would be less text and that’s the whole point of this to begin with. It’s going to take a 122 key behemoth to enjoy everything this has to offer.

I’ll add a spacebars kits, so yea
love the profile and colors of this set.
Looks perfect! Also, +1 for KAM!
Consider adding a 6u Spacebar (off-center stem) to the Specialties kit, or moving it there from the Spacebars kit.
Speaking of the Spacebars kit, it’s MIA

Would you consider adding a 1.5u ESC to the specialties kit? There already is a delete, so it would be perfect for covering the Vortex RACE3.
