ah, here's the obligatory potato pic. Will probably switch out the uggo DCS caps with some proper ones tomorrow. They feel awesome and they make the vertical mounted thumbkeys feel much more natural. yay! Of course, i don't actually have that many ctrls, alts, or shift locks, but, you know...

On a related note, i am now in desperate need of a set of 1.5 mods, and can't seem to post in the classified board; can anyone help a brother out?

You'll be able to post in the classifieds board once you reach 60 posts. So you're nearly there.

Yep, those babies are tough to kill. I know, when I dropped one once onto the slate floor, a Jack Russell picked it up and chewed on it for a few minutes. It still worked when re-connected.

My native language isn't English, but I understand what You mean under "potato pic". I just like to know this term's roots.

Photos are beautiful but I can't imagine a potato shining as bright as that pics...

How would you guys describe the feel and sound of typing on these keycaps vs thick obtained (cherry profile)? Are they very thick?

I actually forgot to add a WASD kit to my order due to my speedy checkout but i3oiler fixed that for me

kinda expected these to go very quick.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #1569 on:** Sun, 19 May 2013, 17:27:23 »

Oh geez, I got the notification of the keys coming in stock as I was going to a friend's house. Just got home, only like 2-3 hours later, turned on my computer, went to techkeys, and they are already sold out

Just my luck.

Hmm, those green "GeekHack" DSA keys that TechKeys has for sale is tempting! Just curious, is that a TechKeys exclusive, or was it part of the GB?

samwisekoi · « **Reply #1583 on:** Sun, 19 May 2013, 22:12:23 »

Retro DSA fans:

I took the weekend off from keyboards. My mom turned 75, and my dad rolled into town in his new RV (very separate events) so I did family things.

Should be able to blast the rest of the orders out next week, not to worry. I have more boxes and more mailers for replacement keys.

Once I do that, it is possible there might be some extra stock I can sell to make up for shipping costs. (Don't PM me about that just yet, please!)

FYI to everyone who has posted or sent a PM demanding I absolutely must charge them for any extra shipping costs. Thank you very much. I will if I need to, but for the moment I think I can make it work out. We shall see, but thank you no matter what.

Hasta manana,

- Ron | samwisekoi

p.s. Glod, you do have a large order!

p.p.s. After a couple of weeks, nobody noticed I have a green WASD set on the GH75 in my signature. I see Techkeys still has some, and I can assure you they look very, very cool.

Are the GH and Refresh keys also symmetrical and compatible with any row? asking cause from the photo it does look like they have a specific row.

Also is the same green as the enter key in the DSA set?
Cheerio.

Cheerio.

they are DSA hence all on the same profile. square keys with no rows.

the green is the same.

There we go! Applied on my pure (almost managed to get back all the caps without looking up the layout, I was foiled by the american keys), with another great american product! But damn is that drink expensive...

It feels a bit strange with uniform key height. I notice myself trying to latch on to the more sharp cornered default caps too, haha.
The spacebar feels slightly sluggish, i shall read up on that subject above.

It looks GREAT! Wow...
