[IC] DSA Season of the Witch (final kit renders updated 2020-10-25)

[Moridin]

Can't seem to find the 1.5U ESC key...

That'd be covered by the Vortex/Minila kit at the bottom of the listed kits. Even got it available in both accent colors.

So sorry! Missed those! Good luck! And thanks for choosing MyKeyboard.eu – love those guys!

No worries! I'm feeling pretty satisifed with how that kit turned out. I'm really happy about choosing mykeyboard.eu too!

Spooky... ):O

[TuCZnak]

There's a stepped Caps Lock in the modifiers kit. Does that actually exist for DSA? Don't think I've ever seen it anywhere...

[KingOfMemes]

Oooo Colemak homing keys!

Yup. Got you covered. DSA Miami Dolch had it in its Tsangan Colemak kit, if you'd like a reference.

Oooo Colemak homing keys!

Gotta cover those alternative layouts. Nordic Dvorak anyone?

I'm considering getting them barred instead of scooped.

Mmm... Stepped Caps Lock...

[Surefoot]

This looks quite good.. DSA is fine, XDA would be slightly better but we can manage..

Update!

Hello. DSA SOTW is still alive. Here is the long awaited novelties update. This is a keyset that would've felt awkward to release without novelties. Commissioning novelties took quite some time as the work had to pass hands and real life troubles caused delays. Now they are here and I hope you'll feel it's been well worth the wait. OutragedPudding has done one hell of a job to translate two iconic images from the movie Halloween III, the jack-o'-lantern and the silver shamrock, to doubleshot ABS novelties. Final kit renders by Oblotzky will be added soon. They are getting their final tweaks and with the novelties here, we should be all set to move towards the final countdown [sings Europe in falsetto].

Glad to see it's still alive.  I'll buy the set because I love the colors, and I'm a fan of DSA and I love the movie.

I think it would be amazing if you could get these done in their new DSS profile though.  I don't think it would take any more time invested and they seem to be quite responsive to designers looking into this profile.  The sculpture is quite nice.  I own both the Dolch and Honeywell 40s sets in DSS profile, and I've purchased two kits of the newly released Tecla DSS.

Just food for thought.

Thanks! Makes me really happy to hear!

Funny you should mention that. I actually asked Melissa at SP for the DSS spec sheet when the profile was just released. I've been sketching on ideas for a DSS keyset since then, but we'll see. I have to wrap this bastard up first! Haha.

I think it's way too late in the game to redo DSA SOTW as DSS though, since by now a DSA keyset is expected. Also, since DSS is sculpted and DSA is uniform, I'd have to rethink the whole keyset in terms of compatibility and layout coverage.

I figured we were too far in to swap, but glad you are planning something down the road.

Now I have to look forward to your DSS set!  Any ideas what it will be?

Yeah, but it's too early to tell yet what it will be. Just sketching on different ideas at this point. Besides, I want to see DSA SOTW finalized first.

[bd_slade]

Glad you posted an update. I'm new to the keycap game, and as soon as I saw SOTW, my ears perked up! Following!

[ColossalCalamari]

Any chance this set is still alive?

It is. Just a lot of real life troubles and other delays have come in-between.

I've just this week started chatting to Oblotzky again regarding finishing kit labels for the final renders.

[pixelpusher]

welp, the good thing is... we're all still here waiting to buy sets

[William_S_Jones]

I'm  still interested in this set; alphas, 40s, iso, number, & novelty kits for me!

I'm really happy to hear you're still around for it! <3

In the meantime, stay safe out there all of you! I hope everyone's doing ok in these strange times.

[Starius]

Yeah, ever since I saw the old Massdrop page for this design, I've been totally committed to getting it.  Doesn't matter how long it takes. Whenever it happens, I'm in.

That's dedication! Thanks for sticking it out for the long haul it's been. I aim to put this keyset in your hands no matter how long it takes!

So glad to hear this isn't dead! I'd 100% be in for a group buy on this!

The slow progress has frustrated me as well, but we'll get there! Thank you for the support! All of you! It really means a lot to me. <3

Also happy to hear you're stoked about the 40s kit! That was the kit I put the most effort into actually. Quite early on, this keyset started out as oriented towards alternative layouts, especially Nordic, Colemak, Dvorak, 40s and ortho layouts. I hope most will find something in it to cover their needs, be it full size battleships or Nordic Dvorak 40%!

Any chance we'll see this come back from the dead around the ghoulish season?

When the kit prices have been decided and the proxies are ready, I guess. Can't say anything now since I assume it also depends on what GB:s are lined up in their pipelines before this can run. Up until this point though, the slowest process has been commissioning renders. Now that we're past that, we'll see if we can't pick up the pace a bit.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it as well and am glad to have you along for the ride!

[Havattack]

As much as love the form of SA and DSA, the oversized legend on the alpha's drives me nuts..
The colorway is so sick, i'll probably try to grab it anyway.

[Keycrum]

Great nostalgia feels, in like gin

[ivylab]

What a nice colorway.
I am ordering my first DSA set from pimpmykeyboard. If I find out I like DSA, I am in!

Good luck with this! Looks like this has been a project for a long time

[MemeScreen]

Any updates on this set?

[Volny]

If this still happens, I may be in for a kit or two. I exclusively use DSA at the moment on my various keyboards and macropads, and am always looking for more keycap options to improve my layouts. This colourway would complement my scheme fairly well.

[hindssm]

Has there been any new developments since 2020?

[Starius]

I've literally been ready for this set since Feb. of 2018.  😜

Definitely a slow burn on this, but I hope those embers are still glowing.  Too good of a design to not see it through to reality.

AAAAA NOOO WHO BUMPED THIS MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT
