While this is intriguing, it takes quite a lot out of the original charm of the spacecadet keyboard. All the mathematical symbols, the roman numberals, the thumbs up/down keys are what make the spacecadet so much fun. If you just want to throw a lot of modifier keys on a keyboard, you could come up with a better layout than this.
- tomcatfish 5y agoI hopped into this thread praying for a spacecadet remake I could buy now that I have some spare money. I was sad and confused to see that this keyboard did not have all the fun symbols on the caps. Quick edit: FWIW, I'm not knocking the keyboard, I just have no attachment to the Symbolics board and was hoping this was a poorly labeled post talking about the spacecadet instead.
- chevill 5y agoIf you just want custom keycaps for a modern MX board KAT Space Cadet was a group buy from over a year ago and it finally just started shipping. There are likely lots of people in /r/mechmarket that are going to be selling sets. It has the sublegends on the top like the original but not the ones on the front side of the keycap (I don't think modern manufacturers are even willing to try that). If you don't want to go with KAT Space Cadet, GMK has a similar set that should be shipping soon, if not now. Once again there will be people selling them on the aftermarket.
- chevill 5y agoIts not based on the Space Cadet keyboard at all. Its based on a different Symbolics board which is also a very nice looking and highly desired keyboard among collectors (although not as famous as the Space Cadet). IMO its fairly faithful to the one its actually based on: http://xahlee.info/kbd/symbolics_keyboard_pn_365407.html http://xahlee.info/kbd/symbolics_keyboard_pn_365407.html
