Sounds awesome! I was really thinking about going for the Granite, because I thought this one fell off of the map.
But if this set is still kicking, I'm in for a buy 100%.

After looking at Granite though, I think I may have to change my mind about going DCS for this. DSA is just too awesome
looking. Will there be a re-polling or is this one set in stone for DCS? Whichever profile though, I'll still jump in.
Also, will there be bonus sets like the Granite (i.e. Nerdom, Symbol vs. Text Mods, etc.)? 'would love to future proof and
get some variety for this set when it blows out of the water.

this set will probably have Cherry legends and as such it's DCS only. Based on success I may rerun the same color combo in SA.

Have to agree.  There's too much of an orgy for DSA love everywhere now.  Need to stop it and re-introduce the -yuck- DCS profile finally  ^-^ .

Of course you could always avoid the inevitable whining and whinging by picking SA instead....... ?

Confusion, maybe for the new ones that have just signed up and have no idea what Geekhack is about, they will be naturally perplexed with what's on offer (what to do) and you'll need to break it down for them slowly.  Don't forget the forum itself will help answer most questions for newbies no matter what it is, which has been happening for years now.

For the rest of us we all know what's on offer, hence no need to explain but present the goodies, in all their visual glory  :thumb: .  The extras and whatnot shall be ogled at like a favorite old porno mag.

So decide which profile(s) to go for and run with it.  Don't be afraid running with ONLY one profile but running TWO at the same time can be done, Bunny did it with one of his Group Buys (DSA & DCS) a few months back.

Let's hope so here  :thumb: .  We'll all know soon enough which profiles(s) he'll be doing. 

If he goes SA with DCS he'll be the first one to do it, unless anyone can remember if someone else had run these same profiles at once?

I'll talk with SP about this. I'll make very clear what profile you are buying and I'll try to make 3D renders of both.

The options would be: DCS with Cherry replica font, SA with standard centered font. Each one could have one or two exclusive novelty keys. Options for both would be very limited anyway (max 4 kits per profile I'd say).

Would both have the same novelty caps in your current mockup (the wolf, moon, etc)

Also what about GH caps?

Absolutely, chock-ablock CHOICE beyond dreams here  :thumb: .

Of course you know who'll spend every cent he owns to grab SA with Centered font?  But also in need of some DCS for some WASD's as well.  Trust me DCS looks better on a WASD keyboard than any SA set.

Don't worry about to many extras, as long as we get the standard picks with alphas, modifiers and of course numerous (sized) space-bar keys, this Group Buy should be super nice  8) .
