How it came to be
It all started by my friend Chamoy and his love for 40s. We started this in January and it was only going to be a 40s Set because he likes that. We choose DSS because of the short production time. We wanted something Sencillo(Simple), clean and bit pastel. We really hope you like the set and can support us in GB. If you have more information please feel free to ask below.




Acknowledgments
  • Firstly I would to thank Nasp for all his help with the project and the renders as well
  • Vheissu for his art directions and helping with making it cute
  • To Trash Man for giving permission to use his icons in the set and Deskmat

Hi Everyone,


Checkerboards.xyz will be offering a Day 1 promotion of X% off child kits. I haven't nailed down the exact percentage off, but it'll probably be around 10% give or take.

Some other vendors might also be doing day 1 promotions so please check with the vendor nearest to you.


Cheers!

Hello Everyone,

Had a good start to day 1 but it's not over yet! There's little over an hour left to receive your day 1 discount of 15% off all child kits.

If you do miss purchasing on day 1, day 2 will have child kits at 10% off.


Cheers  :thumb:


I leave you with a teal TKC Candy Bar with teal accents.

Are the icon mods really thicker in weight than the alphas, or is that just a render issue?

Check out DSA Paperwork for a real-world example since DSS and DSA share the same legend molds. The font weight should be roughly equal.

Thanks, Dvorcol!

I expect there to be a lot of last minute purchases towards the end of the GB period, at which point Checker Boards and the other vendors will buy out to MOQ if needed.

Will the alpha legend sizing will be similar to DSA Paperwork, or DSS Dolch and DSS Shale which appear to have slightly smaller legends (which I prefer  ^-^)

I'm already in for a kit - Alphas, TKL mods, and numpad. I needed a good classy BoW keyset and I've been wanting to try out DSS, so this came along at the perfect time! Really digging the fresh mod icons.

The designers like the smaller ones better so that'll be what we'll go with.

Just a quick update for those of you that ordered the spacebar kit:

SP doesn't have a 6u off-centered in this profile so instead we have replaced that bar for an extra 1u, 1.25u, and 2.25. Here's the new kit render:

Hi Everyone,

We had a small delay due to the holidays, shipping insurance, and last week inclement weather in Seattle, but these should be shipping from SP this week. I'll send out an email to verify addresses and soon as I can do a quick inspection of the caps on my end.


Cheers

I have finally received the shipment of caps today! I'll be sending out an address verification email shortly. Please reply to it if you have changed addresses since you bought in the GB.

If you purchased from a proxy, it looks like a few are already starting to ship theirs out.

I appreciate everyone's patience and I look forward to seeing these on your keyboards soon!

Most vendors have shipped out the keycaps now - including www.checkerboards.xyz. The only outstanding orders are the ones with deskmats which are expected to arrive later this month.

Stay tuned for an announcement on extras.  ;D

Received my set, all keys are accounted for. Just a few notes:

1) The TKL mod kit is different from the render; the Tsangan bottom row keys are now the "correct" trashcons, as is the 1u control (3rd from bottom right in the render, which originally specified an up arrow).

2) The 6, 7, and 8 keys in my alphas kit are almost... bolded (?) compared to the other number row keys. See those keys compared with the 4 and 0 caps. The 7 key is particularly egregious. (https://imgur.com/a/bHRLbsq)

3) The += cap in my alphas kit is not centered. (See above link)

4) I didn't realize the spruce marks were on the front bottom of the caps; they're pretty ugly. My SP DSA set has them in the usual location, on the back bottom.


So, are the inconsistent/off-center number row keys par for the course for SP DSS? Since it's doubleshot, I guess it's just those particular molds? And do other DSS sets have such ugly spruce marks on the front as opposed to the back?

1. Yes, those were errors in the render. The r3 up arrow was a duplicate, which is why it was replaced with the control trashcon. I apologize for these mistakes as I should have updated the render. However, I see this as an improvement instead of the set coming out with duplicate keys or inconsistent pairing trashcons.

2. Not sure if other DSS sets are bolded like this. I'm gonna ask SP about it. It may be that the boldness is more noticeable on a BoW set like this. 

3. - yes, this appears to be normal after looking at other DSS sets. Attached is an image of DSS Drank.

4. The spruce marks on the front bottom appear to be mainly on the 1u keys. Honestly, I didn't even notice them until you pointed them out. On the other DSS set I have, they can appear on any side of the cap; there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason about it. I don't think you'd be able to see them unless you were using a mid or low-pro case. For the next set I run, I'll see if SP can make sure to move them on the back or at least on the left or right side.


Thanks for joining the GB. In the future I'd like to see improvements made to the DSS molds. I'm happy that DSA Red Velvet is adding thicker alpha molds to be more consistent with trashcons. I'd also like to see bigger Function keys as the current ones are tiny, as well as more consistent line thickness to the number row keys which you mentioned.

Yeah, my comment about the render vs. delivered set was just to add it to the record--only positive feedback here.

Appreciate the follow-up with SP. I'll be looking for the same things when After-School 1992 gets in as well.

Shame about the inconsistencies with the DSS molds, although the comparatively short lead time was great. At any rate, just wanted to make sure I didn't somehow get outliers in my set. I'm most likely going to throw this on my QAZ anyway, so the inconsistencies won't be too much of a bother.

Thanks for understanding. I have a few more DSS sets coming in - and I plan on running a few more too - so I'm optimistic that we can iron out some of these discrepancies in future DSS runs.

To follow up about the inconsistencies in line thickness on the number row and the "+=" not being centered, I did hear back from Signature Plastics and have some good news to report. The molds used for these are ancient - probably older than a lot of people in the hobby - which SP recognizes, and is looking to redo them better in the future. They likely won't be redone until the summer however. Since SP is going to take care of the number row inconsistencies, I think once DSA Red Velvet introduces thicker lines for the alphas, the next big thing to do is enlarge the font used for the F-row keys. After all that, DSS will be in tip-top shape. Fortunately for 40's users half the inconsistencies don't apply to them.

Nice to hear. Doesn't SP have a to-do list of molds that they're developing? I know SA minibars recently ran. I guess re-doing DSS molds is up next (or close) on that list?

I've been looking at images of DSS First Light and DSS Olivia (on the currently-shipping NK65 Olivia edition), and it seems like those numrow inconsistencies are, well, inconsistent. While some sets seem to have no issues, some seem to have bolded 2s, others bolded 9s.

Not sure their list exactly, but they have stated that they plan to make convex DSA and DSS bars after SA. They said it would take them a couple years however.

Quick update on Deskmats:

The other vendor I have purchased the deskmats through says that they should be almost ready. They had to stop for CNY but now that the holiday is over, they are being finalized for shipment. Thanks for your patience.

Hi @nasp,

I have a quick question.

I have ordered this set via the MyKeyboard vendor as I am located in Europe. After the initial delay announcements I have been closely following this thread to stay up-to-date and I have also contacted the vendor to get some updates about the current status.
Their latest reply was: If the set was announced as shipped in this thread here, then it "should arrive soon-ish" and we will proceed with the fulfillment afterwards then.

Until now, I didn't get any updates from them yet. Also this GB is not even listed on their updates site at https://calendar.mykeyboard.eu/updates/. I wonder if it ever was. Anyway, is there, by any chance, a way you could check the status of the shipping to MyKeyboard? Currently it feels like everyone already got their caps but from a MyKeyboard perspective they're not even existing. This is weird.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @nasp,

I have a quick question.

I have ordered this set via the MyKeyboard vendor as I am located in Europe. After the initial delay announcements I have been closely following this thread to stay up-to-date and I have also contacted the vendor to get some updates about the current status.

Just received word from the owner. For some reason they received them late, as in just a few days ago. They are preparing to ship them next week.

As if they were seeing me posting here :D I just received a shipping notification from them.

Nevertheless, thank you for your quick reply and checking in on it!  :thumb:

Yay, I finally got my caps and they look great! :)

However, while putting them on, I noticed one thing that is a real pity for me. The option keys in the mod kit are not provided as 1u. Only as 1.25 and as 1.5. The 1.5 variant was not shown in any renders. As I am on a mac and therefore actively using control, command and option keys and my keyboard layout has 1u keys on the right hand side of the spacebar, I am left without an option key now D: See here for reference: https://imgur.com/a/yKAUUHC

Did anyone else notice that? Or is this something the vendor has messed up?

The only thing I can do is swapping control and option keys (as there is a 1u control key available) and live with it. :(

There was an error in the render image as a previous poster mentioned.

You may be able to swap the key you need with someone that has the 40's kit. If you were in the US, I'd ship you the key for free, but seeing that you are international shipping would not be a trivial expense.

I did read that but was not entirely sure if that also applies to the option key. Thank you for your quick reply, though! :)

I'm interested in picking this set up. 

My question is what are the tops of the split spacebar like?  Convex, concave, or flat?

Unfortunately DSS small bars don't exist yet, so it's using a DSA profile keys which are flat.
