Roddenberry Shop reveals a custom key-cap set that’ll put you on the bridge of the Enterprise D.<\/h2>\n

When the Roddenberry Shop works on a new Star Trek collectible, it really takes its job seriously. Check out this new set of keycaps for Cherry MX mechanicaly\u00a0keyboards to see what I mean – each is coloured based on Mike Okuda’s timeless LCARS interface design, and even the key names have been changed to match the source material.<\/p>\n

Backspace is now Rescan; Return\/Enter is Engage, and Shift is Pattern Enhance. It’s brilliant!<\/p>\n

The key-cap set, which comes in packages for both ten-key and ten-keyless keyboards, are manufactured well known key-cap maker, Signature Plastics, and the original designs were made in consultation with keyboard enthusiasts on Geekhack.org.<\/p>\n

The key-caps are designed for any Cherry MX keyboard – just pop off your old caps and apply these new ones. If you’re more adventurous, you can even get a whole new housing, made of machined aluminium and matched the colour of the Enterprise D’s bridge fittings.<\/p>\n

When Roddenberry Shop announced the set, they were asking for a 150 pre-order before confirming the set would go into production. As of writing, 212 have already been sold, so it’s a going concern.<\/p>\n

I suspect I will be customer number 213… You can pre-order the Galaxy Class set here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
