Title: [GB] SP DCS Soware with ICON MOD (Pre-shipping)
Post by: j2c8w6f8 on Sun, 04 September 2016, 10:38:04: Hi everyone!
This is a group buy for DCS ICON SOWARE!

Colors:
[attachimg=1]

Base set: $105 //I added the color codes and it gave me a watermark >:D
[attachimg=2]

1800 kit: $10
[attachimg=3]

ISO kit: $15
[attachimg=4]

Our goal is 75 base, 15 1800 and 15 ISO, we've got around 65 sets so far in China, hope we can hit the moq.

Shipping:
All orders will be sent from USA.
One USPS small flat rate box should be enough for two full sets I believe, I'll send a separate invoice for shipping after I get the keycaps from SP.

OG soware:
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
[attachimg=7]

Hi guys, I thought this one wouldn't open for some reasons. Right now, we got 75 orders from China and I paid to SP a week ago, and the currently lead time is about 10 week as Melissa said, Ill ask her if it is possible to add orders.

So this is just a window for a Chinese buy that may not even open to order from other places?, why is this thread open then?

I had soware would much prefer a beige take on it to the original colors

Do you mean that beige looks better than soware?

I just mean that the alphas in beige would look better than the grey from the OG soware's alphas.

I concur with you, I'd prefer beige, as well.

Considering that prices for both, SP and GMK made sets are pretty close in between and that quality of the key caps are better for the later, to make that decision is a no brainer.

I just saw this, is it too late to get a few sets + 1800s?

It's understandable since the original SOWARE was produced by SP with the DCS profile. SOWARE was based on WYSE, which was also DCS (SP purchased the tooling from Comptec for WYSE).

Looks like it is a little bit darker than the original set, but it's good for me coz i cant find the original color codes anywhere.

Bad news, no extras, sorry :( :(

My gf will start calculating shipping fee and shipping them out in a few days.

Let me know if you have any questions.
