Description

I never use the CapLock key, but I do use the "Super" key (more commonly known as the "Windows" key, but I don't run Windows, so I use the Linux terminology), so I've reprogrammed my Kinesis Advantage to use the CapsLock key as the Super key, so when I ran across rsheldiii 's parametric keycaps (awesome work), I had to have a go at it.

I'm also a fan of the Commodore 8-bit computers, especially the VIC-20, C64, and C128. Found a font by Devin Cook that includes various Commodore themed glyphs. Here is a link directly to the ZIP that should always work

The Kinesis uses OEM profile keys. The CapsLock is 1.25u wide.

One file is for a properly curved key top, standard OEM profile with the Commodore logo on top.

The "FLATTOP_silly" file is "silly" because I added "READY." and a cursor to the front face. It was flattened on top because I use PrusaSlicer and it's "ironing" feature to get super-smooth top surfaces. This required some modifications to the OpenSCAD code to provide deeper "cutting tools" for the legends to deal with the way I carved the top flat and then carved into the front of the key (if you're using the OpenSCAD code, front_legend() works just like legend() but puts it on the front face of the key instead of the top).

Hope some of you enjoy it!
