[Preorder] SA A History of Violets

Available for pre-order now, shipping in July 2025.

Ah, "A History of Violets" in all its glory! This set perfectly captures what Piperaceae envisioned—a true homage to the keyboard community circa 2014 with cadet legends in a deliciously striking purple and cream.

Extensive kitting options, each kit reveals meticulous attention to compatibility—from the 40's/Ortho configurations to the Norde Kit with its international character support, the Number Pad with those classic Roman numerals, the function-focused Ergo Kit, and that delightfully nostalgic Cream Alert Kit. The Typist Kit with its specialized character placements and the Extension Kit with modern media controls demonstrate how this set bridges keyboard history with contemporary needs.

One particularly interesting tidbit is the Violet & Lotus Kit—a thoughtful nod to Commando, the very first SA hobbyist set that introduced the lotus key for reasons lost to keyboard lore.

SA A History of Violet stands as a new classic—honoring the foundation of our hobby while showcasing the vibrant possibilities our SA profile offers today.
