Daily driver since the day I built her in 2014. In 2019, she got this makeover with a set of Godspeed keycaps.

    It’s as you say, just cosmetic-- I assume that there’s only one C/K sound in the runic alphabet. The main thing differentiating them is that they’re different rows in the SA profile. I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about the runes. I went for it for the aesthetic; my choices to match the godspeed colorscheme were runic or cyrillic, and I thought this had a bit more vibe to it.

      Got it! There’s just ⟨ᚲ⟩ for the phoneme /k/ (as in cute, kill, queue). Looking further you also doubled ⟨ᚹ⟩ for both ⟨W⟩ and ⟨V⟩, those look fairly reasonable adaptations.

      Cyrillic would give you the opposite issue - too many letters, you’d need to “cull” some of them out. And looks-wise I think that Futhark rocks.
