C64 Keycaps For All people | Hackaday

If you’ve obtained an MX-style keyboard and wish some retro allure, you would possibly like a latest mission from [Levente Szabadkai]. It’s a set of C64-style keycaps that you can print yourself at home!

The mission began as an try to provide a set of C64 keycaps for an Ajazz 75% keyboard structure, however [Levente] saved pushing till it developed right into a common set. The keys have C64 legends, plain legends, or clean, and work for ANSI boards from 60% to full dimension. There are a number of methods they are often printed. — you are able to do two-color printing with an FDM machine, or you may print the caps alone and fill the legends with paint, both in FDM or resin.

As part of this work, [Levente] needed to clearly create the glyphs to print upon all of the keycaps. He thus determined to launch that as the C64 keyboard font, the truth is. It’s out there in TTF and OTF codecs, and you may preview the font in your browser, if that’s the case desired. It contains the operate key labels, the 63 PETSCII graphic font legends, and varied symbols, punctuation, and chosen accented letters, too.

We’ve seen a lot of classic C64 elements recreated from scratch. It’s been on the level for some time the place you may build a new machine with what’s available off the shelf. They stated Amiga would by no means die, however it’s the sooner Commodore that basically lives on right now…
