Im satisfied with my DSA numpad set from signature plastics:

Never tried a full set of DSA keycaps so I am very excited for the galaxy keycap set.

I sold them a while back, you're a bit late hah.

So I made this post a while back, and since then I've tried another set of DSA (granite), and SA (penumbra), and I find that I like different profiles for different kinds of switches. I've been using Granite DSA for a while and I think DSA would feel better on switches with heavier springs. Feels to me with the small size of DSA caps that they do not spring up fast enough with my reds. It might just be me though.

Though, I really enjoy SA profile on my blues, but OEM profile on my reds. I guess you really just need to try them all before you can make a decision on what you like best. OEM profile overall feels the best for me though.

DSA are the worst type of key profile.  They couldn't have made it any more difficult to tell between the center of the key and the side of the key.  tall spherical is ok... those keys somehow have more body, but DSA is real bad.

yuck.  plus early DSA ruined two of my keyboards.

look at what munch said.  It's a matter of preference... My fingers get confused on DSA but not SA.

I have DSA on my numpad. It took my about a week to get used to the key profile but I actually really like it.

Not sure if I could do a whole board in DSA though

DSA seems to be the new rage, but I actually prefer the appearance of high-profile keycaps.

As for the specific set, I like the Dolch color scheme (and in fact I have an original Dolch keyboard and computer), but I much prefer the feel of PBT keycaps.

It's doubleshot SA or thick Cherry profile for me. Not a fan of OEM, DSA or even DCS any more.

My favorite keycaps are as follows:

IBM dye-sub PBT on IBM Model F and Model M keyboards.

Topre dye-sub PBT on Realforce, such as the 87u.

Fujitsu dye-sub PBT on HHKB Pro 2.

Imsto dye-sub thick PBT keycaps for Cherry mx keyboards.

Not really a fan of DSA, despite the fact that I have purchased the Granite set.
