# C64 Keycaps For Everybody

**[Hackaday](https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Levente Szabadkai created a set of C64-style keycaps that can be printed at home for MX-style keyboards. The project began as a set for an Ajazz 75% layout but grew into a universal set working on ANSI boards from 60% to full size. Keys are available with C64 legends, plain legends, or blank, and can be two-color FDM printed or printed plain and hand-painted in FDM or resin. Szabadkai also released the C64 keyboard font in TTF and OTF formats, covering function key labels and all 63 PETSCII graphic legends.

## Questions this post answers

### Is there a way to get Commodore 64 style keycaps for a modern mechanical keyboard?

Yes, a free, 3D-printable C64-style keycap set exists that fits standard ANSI mechanical keyboards from 60% to full size. Created by Levente Szabadkai, it started as a set for an Ajazz 75% layout before becoming universal. Keys come with C64 legends, plain legends, or blank, and can be printed two-color via FDM or painted after printing in FDM or resin.

_Makers tracking retro-keyboard mod projects like this one can follow new builds on daily.dev._

### Is there a free font that replicates the Commodore 64 keyboard legends and PETSCII symbols?

Yes, a C64 keyboard font is available in TTF and OTF formats, released as a companion to a 3D-printable keycap project. It includes function key labels, all 63 PETSCII graphic font legends, plus various symbols, punctuation, and selected accented letters, and can be previewed in a browser before downloading.
