Symbols. Definitely symbols.

I prefer text myself, because there aren't good well-recognized symbols for everything,
^ for control is sort of recognizable, but that broken-line alt/option symbol is basically exclusively a Mac thing.

Text for sure. Symbols just break the aesthetics of the keycaps. You've got all of these letters (which admittedly are symbols themselves, but incredibly recognizable symbols at that) and then some random symbol junk.

Relax, the key caps will be delivered before Christmas 2018
, if not later.

Haha, I'll pay you a small amount each month so the husband doesn't notice.

Well, since the keycaps are
doubleshots, how about having text
on one side, and symbols
on the other?

It should be an easy task to find another husband who totally supports your keyboard addiction!

True, it seems that in the world of keyboard enthusiasts, men outnumber women by what feels like 10 to 1.

Umm, yes, but maybe it's hard to find a husband that supports
her keyboard addiction, not his!

Huh?
I was replying to 7bit's comment.
I meant that it should be easy for her to find a man that is also keyboard addicted, since men outnumber women 10 to 1.
What did you mean?

Let's drink and be merry - I meant there might be a keyboard addicted husband that only want to finance and support his keyboard addiction, not help with hers (his wife) keyboard addiction.

There will be keys with symbols and with text, so both sides should be happy.
:ugeek:

Actually looking forward to these, although probably won't see them till late 2018

text > symbols. would love to see some APL-lettering on the "normal" keys, though.
Sort of like this (I realize this isn't APL, but still...)
