[IC] Watermelon DSA (with renders and Massdrop poll!)

[graefeln]

I'd be interested in an Alps Ergodox set. It looks like they ran out of Alps caps on the Infinity Ergodox drop and quite a few people have posted about it - maybe it would be possible to capitalize on that.

Hell, even without the Ergodox set, I may be in for a set - use the alphanumeric and try and pick up some decently matched blanks for the rest.

Thanks, glad you like it! The Massdrop poll doesn't seem to have too many people wanting an alps set, but you never know what might happen!

I wonder how this set would look on GMK... too bad gmk colours are a bit limiting :/

I think it'd look pretty good with 3A and 3C for colors, actually! But, not a huge fan of the positioning/font of the lettering on GMK personally.

Pink alphas and I'm in.

this watermelon dsa awesome!

[Corsa1r]

I think this set is perfect.  I really like the fact that you chose white alphas, it definitely results in a more subtle and better aesthetic with the pastels. 

[beltet]

Looks awesome. With international kit i will probably support it.

Thanks! Glad to see some support for the white alphas.

There will definitely be an international kit!

An ALPS run of these keycaps would be over the top awesome!!! Will definiately order 1, possibly 2!
In reaction of the vote having higher MX results (kinda normal): do realize that the amount of people actual going trough with the purchase after voting will most likely be significantly higher for the ALPS voters (and silent folllowers). Simply due to the fact that MX folks have near unlimited options whereas ALPS users nearly get no cool keycaps options ever.

Also, just realized how awesome the 2U caps with the watermelon seeds will look on the ergodox, since they sit right next to eachother they will form an actual watermelon, pure dead awesome!!  can't wait!

Speaking of wait, any idea when you are planning to put in the order when everything goes well?

I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks!
As for orders, still trying to get the attention of Massdrop/some other company. I do have quotes from Signature Plastics, but organizing a group buy myself would be too crazy for me.

Finally was able to secure a KK watermelon v1 and v2 as well as a KK watermelon keychain. Just need a sleeve and this key cap set

Awesome! What does the keychain look like?

[Andy_Nixeus]

Wow, this is an amazing set. Beautiful pieces. Might be down to get one for my MODA Pro

[trenzafeeds]

honestly I like the second set a lot better, the dark alphas work well. The color scheme on the first is nice, but the amazingly low contrast is annoying.

[jzhen]

Just an update: I've contacted Massdrop about this set and was told I'd get an update when they start setting the 2017 drop schedule. Will keep you guys posted!

[rabbitfire]

Looking good! Hope this go to GB soon

That is awesome, congrats . Would an Alps set be featured in the drop?

[bbmathlvr]

Really cute DSA set! It being PBT pushes it over Hana IMO.

[happylacquer]

I would buy the heck out of this if there could be a 6.5x spacebar option!

I can't tell if that's a 6.5x or 7x in the addon kit. If it's 6.5 then i'm a buyer for sure.

[hnrk]

The renders won't load for me, any chance you could upload to imgur?

But I'm thinking... this set on a rose gold M65! Thoughts?

[happylacquer]

Well I just heard from OP that non-6x spacebar should be an option so consider me and my K65 in on this. =) I personally think the melons will look SICK on the metal housing.

If this can drop around the same time as the M65 then I'd definitely be interested.

It's possible! There seems to be quite some interest in the Massdrop poll. Nothing is set in stone yet, so keep your eye out! I'll update the thread once I have more information if this drop can go through.

Reuploaded with imgur links! Let me know if you can see these.

Yep, loads immediately now!

[happylacquer]

I hope this happens soon because the keycaps on my Corsair K65 make me want to cry.

[BAS1C]

Damn I friggin love this set. Plz happen ❤

[qn0x]

Just voted for this on massdrop, hope this will happen!

[happylacquer]

I hope all the "no thanks" answers are a joke. I mean I almost selected it because it was funny but didnt' want to add to the numbers. Then saw it was in #2nd place  But Cherry only is in the lead with over 200 votes so I think I am not too worried about seeing this become a reality. I will absolutely buy a MX full set along with 1x novelties set and 1x alternate novelties set in 1u (should be able to properly populate a 6.5x spacebar bottom row that way)

Man when I signed up here I told myself I'm not buying any caps, boards only, that lasted long time...

[jzhen]

Thanks for all the support everyone! Hopefully this will become a drop sometime this year!

There isn't any chance you might do it not through massdrop is there? It's fine if you do so they take care of it, but man are they slooooow

[jzhen]

I'm open to other vendors, but I definitely won't be doing it by myself. Don't think I'd be able to handle all of that!

[tomboy]

Any news on this set?

[beltet]

Any news on this set?

Also would like to know.

[minimeanie]

Any updates on this? I would totally buy it if it goes to GB, it's so cute!
