In case anyone is looking for OSI keycaps, I just ordered 20 sets from Signature Plastics, based on Grant's original keyset order.
This order is for black keycaps with white letters, to match the 600/C1, C4, and C8. My original C2-4P had light gray keys with white letters, and I plan to place another order with that color eventually, but will wait a while. The lead time is 12 weeks, though so I won't have the keys until late November or early December. Selling them at cost, the total price works out to almost exactly $50/set.
The font on the keycaps is not exactly the same as the OSI key font, but looks great, and is timeless (See Grant's keys). Exact match would cost $50 per key--not willing to go that far, and back in the day, I would not have cared about the font and neither would anyone at OSI--Mike Cheiky was a different type of personality from Steve Jobs.
The specs:
Manufacturer: Signature Plastics
Key type: Cherry MX, SA profile, double shot molded
Color: Black with white letters
Font: Gorton Modified Font
Keys per set: 60 (Standard OSI keys, plus the following extra keys, resulting in a key set similar to the ADM/3A, for future projects:
- Tilde / Caret: ~ ^
- (curly bracket / square bracket LEFT: { [
- curly bracket / square bracket RIGHT: } ]
- vertical bar / backslash: | \
- single quote / at symbol: ' @
- TAB (same width as shift)
- CAPS LOCK (same size as SHIFT LOCK)
Cheers,
Dave
