DSA Classic?
« on: Wed, 13 September 2017, 23:57:56 »
Is there a simple beige set out there in DSA profile?  I'm thinking something close to GMK Classic Beige, GMK 9009, or ePBT sets, but in DSA profile.  Maybe something like the stock Vortex Core caps, but with a creamier beige for alphas and something less dark for the modifiers.  I was looking at the Chinese Endsville caps from zfrontier, but I think they are closer to gray.  I do really like the way they had fun with the novelties on that set though. 

You could run it in through SP as dyesub PBT and get it done pretty quickly I bet.

You're right about SP. Just choose your color(s) and then order here.

Yes, but the only beige they have is GQN, the beige they used on Otaku.  It's too dark for the classic look.  You can't even order those colors in blanks... they don't have the right colors in stock.

I suppose "Think Different" has a bit more of a warm tone to it, compared to granite, but it's not quite right.  And those legends are not my favorite :(

Well, if you don't like the Gorton Modified legends that SP uses by default, you'll have to supply legend graphics for every keycap yourself.

I like Gorton Modified.  I was referencing the look of the font used for "Think Different."  I was considering it as a "classic" set, but it is really too gray.  Aiming for off-white and beige.

Oh. Interesting. I didn't realize that Think Different had its own unique font on the keycaps.

Okay, never mind. Ignore me.

I contacted SP about the idea.  I'm sure I'll never hear back.
