Damn I wish I had the money to get both of these!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

But where would you get keycaps if you don't want those black dsa ones?

Badwrench is about to submit an Alps set to SP.  Thread is here.

The plan is to have a separate massdrop sale on some dyesubs of this design (I was hoping for DCS but will probably just be DSA):

some people prefer DSA to DCS.

So there will be 3 distinct kits?
For both MX and Alps?

Bad news: 3 kits, but MX only. SP apparently can’t do Alps dyesubs. :( :(

Folks could get keycaps from this group buy (currently in the interest check phase) but it’ll be pricey and I have no idea when it would ship:
