CHIFFRE

The legend carries the function, not the name.

127 keys, ANSI, 6.25 u space bar. The four marked keys carry a measurement instead of a word — the pitch, the travel, the sample rate and the settable range.

Dye-sublimated PBT, 1.4 mm wall, Cherry profile. The dye is in the plastic, not on it, so the legends do not wear off; they simply cannot, because there is no layer to remove.

The alphanumerics are warm off-white and the modifiers are slate. The figures are the house numerals with a slashed zero, because a keyboard made by people who measure things should not make you guess between 0 and O.

The one odd thing

Four keys carry a number instead of a word. ⇥ 19.05 is Tab, and the figure is the key pitch in millimetres. The three others carry the travel, the sample rate and the settable range.

It is a small joke and it is also useful: the four numbers a person needs to remember about this keyboard are on the keyboard.

⇪ 3.60 travel, mm
⌃ 8 000 samples/s
⌥ 0.10–3.40 range, mm
