- There is an additional (not shown) 1u 'Fn' key in the TKL + Specialty kit, the render will be updated eventually
- We may re-add the teal '=' to the Numpad kit (depending on price and order quantity)
About the proxies: it will a couple of days until our Europe (mykeyboard.eu) and Asia (zFrontier) proxies are up. Very sorry about that!
Please feel free to ask any question about compatibility for your particular keyboard or anything else, eg. issues with your vendor, etc.
Cheers!

Is there a fixed stock count on these, or will whatever gets ordered until May 10th get produced and shipped? (provided it meets MOQ, I assume?)

Exciting, this might be my first custom keycap set and first GB. Also waiting for the EU website.

It is the latter. Whatever is ordered is what is produced so long as it reaches MOQ. So it’s not a rush but the earlier you get your order in the easier it is to determine what will reach MOQ.
You’ve picked a damn fine GB to join for your first one!

Same here on both accounts (first DSA and first GB) - this set is just too nice to pass up, that teal colour is pure magic. Hope we hit MOQ!

Thanks! Not sure how I missed them in the TLK. Wish the M0110 didn’t have such odd sized mods but I think I can make this work. Will just have two enters instead of two shifts.

Hopefully this is still possible: Could the dark 1u "|\" from the ISO kit be added to ortho/40% as well?

Sorry about that. The reason why we added the Fn key (and maybe '=') is because they were removed by mistake.
There's no dark '|\' key because it's not part of the default Planck layout (on which the ortho kit is based). That's just where I drew the line. Also, no one suggested it during the IC. In hindsight, maybe I would include it.
Like I said, one 1u is not much, but if we add another, and another... it quickly gets out of hand.
There is a grey 1u '|\' hiding in the alphas, in case you hadn't noticed. And if you realllly need a dark one, then there's always the ISO kit :( It's not impossible that someone who doesn't need theirs can sell it to you.

Thanks. Totally understandable. I have noticed this is often the missing key, so I guess my layout is exceptional. I would expect users of a Preonic users or any split with thumb keys to put the pipe key there. No matter, I can maybe buy it of someone else or just put a novelty there.

Hi! I'd really like to get my hands on this keyset but being based in Asia should I wait for the Asia proxy to go up or order it from the key dot co?
I would wait a bit. When zFrontier is up, you can compare. I will update as soon as I have more info.

It just makes me wonder what the advantage of a proxy is in that case.
Post by: Mekberg on Tue, 16 April 2019, 11:39:42
Right, I did the calculation and it would come about the same price ordering from the US and paying import fees and tax.
It just makes me wonder what the advantage of a proxy is in that case.
Probably reduces and simplifies customs fees. I’m definitely more comfortable buying from a EU proxy, especially if the price is essentially the same.

Definitely.

I'm looking into it with TKC. But...
From my experience with the Canadian proxy, if I were to charge in Canadian dollars, then the price goes up 3% automatically. Beyond a certain order quantity, I would have to charge 10% more in taxes. Shipping from the manufacturer to Canada is also more expensive (let alone Europe); since we sell fewer kits, I have to take that penalty. In this case, Canadian buyers save on shipping, taxes and duties.
However, a full-fledged business has to charge full taxes (in Canada, at least). Prices listed on mykeyboard.eu include VAT. There is also duties and handling fees related to importing.
If the price is roughly the same as buying directly, then you win because 1. you get more reliable shipping (imagine 50+ packages crossing the ocean, versus one). Your local proxy has access to and is more familiar with the local carriers. 2. Service at proximity is always preferable in case anything goes wrong. Not to mention that our EU and Asia proxies are reputable businesses used to this kind of thing.
I would expect a smoother experience, overall.

Last info I got from TKC/zFrontier is they are setting things up and should open this Friday or Saturday. That's a 3 week window until GB close.
Although I would recommend ordering from your nearest vendor, I asked TKC and they are able to fulfill international orders.

No problem!
Keep in mind, if you want to cover the Prime_E then you actually need the novelties (or TKL...) for the extra 1.25u modifiers on the bottom row. Prime_E (with this particular layout) has more 1.25u's than usual for a 40.
Novelties are a must for all keyboards, imo. ;D

Yeah I’m just still deciding what I’m gonna put on that board. Thanks for pointing it out though because if I don’t have layouts in front of me I often forget what I’m missing lol.
I might go with the TKL to cover more ground. The thing is I’m also in for the wonderland group buy and waiting on my zlant to get back from a switch swap so I’m counting my key caps before they hatch, lol! I definitely want this set to be compatible with multiple boards tho so the TKL, alphas and 40s might be the way to go.

It's a very uncommon layout, you can't even find it on Google images, but it's supported. Not many kits cover it tbqh. Guess the cheapest way to do it would be Numpad, if not that then TKL backspace or another 40s kit.

I see! (same question from r/mechmarket?)
I would get some 2u blanks from pmkb (https://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-2-space-pack-of-4/) while the GB (dark grey) colour is in stock. Although it's likely that GTD (light grey) will be in stock after this group buy is run.

Yeah, of course. Once a week would be more than enough I think, if that's not too much.

I keep a spreadsheet but it's difficult to synchronize all the proxies. They realistically cannot provide daily updates (imagine for all the group buys). I try to send reminders often, thru TKC.
Yeah, of course. Once a week would be more than enough I think, if that's not too much.
That's the curse of making those pretty graphs, now we're all junkies for progress and updates, we want to see those bars grow! :D
Hoping to get one in today so you can get your fix ;)
Yaaasss... Graph fix... 🤤
Seriously though. Which kits have yet to reach MOQ?

The new Massdrop site does a good job at hiding all independent project pages... real bummer. We were getting good visibility before launch, and now literally nothing.
It's not too late to help generate interest:

I wonder if you could somehow drum up some interest from a tech news site. It’s not often that keyboards are relatable outside of our niche little realm but I think a lot of people could relate to this set because so many people have had experience with the Ti calculators. I dunno how that happens but just a thought.

How about Facebook Groups? I took a screenshot of my quick search.
<EDIT> OK, not many members in my first "TI calculator" search. Maybe do some better searching...

Nice! So close and some already reached MOQ. Perhaps a few more pushes on Reddit and we’ll be there. Still plenty of time left though.
Haha I never thought to look for a calculator group on Facebook!

Looks like TKL and Novelties still need a little push. Good news is ISO and NorDe are looking less grim since EU has opened. ;D
NB. These latest numbers do not include any zFrontier sales. I don't know when we'll get them. Also, if the data seems a bit chaotic, it's because we don't get daily updates from Mykeyboard.eu; they only show up in chunks every few days.

I'm very confident TKL will hit MOQ. Worst case scenario, we will buy the remainder.

I have sat on the edge with this set from the start. I just ordered the Numpad kit and I plan on using it on a (also just ordered) Mistel MD200 Freeboard. Part of the plan is to make a colour matching acrilic replacement for the orange one that comes with the MD200.
I think the yellow would suit or maybe the green. What do you all think?
Yeah, I think so! I actually wanted to model a Mistel MD200 when looking at cool numpads for the IC. I think the colours will even match the original orange acrylic.

I don't remember 40% kit doing that well compared to TKL in other recent buys :thumb: Super stoked for this set
Yeah! I can think of several reasons:
1. DSA suits small keyboards very well
2. It helps when you have separate alphas (ahem GMK)
3. The kit covers many keyboards and the price is reasonable

I updated all the graphs in this thread to the new format.
What's different? Can't really tell.
If we're talking graph tweaks, it would be nice to be able to see where the MOQ limit was, even after it was surpassed. Would better show how much above MOQ it is when it's done.
I was also really surprised when 40% reached MOQ even before TKL did, even if TKL still wins on pure numbers at this point. Not that I have a 40% board, but for me, the kits were just really well designed and thought through. I was able to get just what I needed and very little else.

I prefer it as it is-- it's clearer and MOQ isn't really important once you're past it.
Don't give yourself too much trouble, dvorcol, your graphs are already very insightful.

I didn't see that this was asked before; will there be extras after the GB?
Yes.
How many has not been determined. We will add up the numbers tomorrow and go from there.
Last call: ends in 3 hours!

Oh man, this can't come fast enough now. I bought some cheap PBT caps in Cherry profile, and it turns out they're too shallow for my keyboard (most keyboards, I would assume). They hit the side of the switch top, causing my Gateron Silent switches to be almost clicky ones. Very annoying. Can't wait to have me some deep, rich, thick, DSA bois instead :)
That sucks.
Patiently waiting. :-X

We plan to place the order with SP by this weekend.
TKC is currently doing some back forth with people wanting to change their orders.
I assume the situation is similar with our proxies as we wait for their totals.
Keep in touch ;)

Yes, I'd say this was a very successful group buy. And how about Colevrak kit's orders being almost 10% of Alpha's?
I'm glad to know you both like the graphs! :)

Over a week since the last update, I assume you're busy and dealing with all the proxies and the ordering, but is there any news? Is everything going smoothly?
Yes. I sent out the order so the proxies should be getting their invoices shortly.
PS. I added back the teal 1u "=" key to the numpad kit and 1u Fn to TKL. :thumb:

Now the only thing left is determining which of my boards will get this keyset. Have a Plaid, a Core both of which I love. Preonic from a GB is coming this fall as well as the CandyBar. Cant wait for the early Christmas and facing the decision as to which board will be my daily driver.

Obviously, the legends in the original renders aren't 100% accurate. I based the following render on SP's documentation:
- Modifier legend height: 0.100", ~0.015" line thickness
- Number row legend height: 0.150" (I think?), ~0.020" line thickness
- Alpha legend height: 0.187" (I think?), ~0.020" line thickness
- (Pi, e) legend height: 0.125" OR 0.150" (same as number row)
- (Phi, h-bar) legend height: 0.187" (same as alphas)
- ~0.012" minimum line thickness (variable)
(https://i.imgur.com/HkB8o8o.png)
Option 0: Original renders (for reference)
Option 1: (Pi, e) @ 0.125" height
Option 2: (Pi, e) @ 0.150" height
Poll: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdM52K2dW2fEOzQ99JiX7_SYu6RqpegcVRNhf7icPZrRdICBQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
Remarks: Option 1 is closer to the original LaTeX size ratios. Option 2 matches the symbols on the number row. Another option could be 0.133" (not shown), which would match the original renders better.
Open to other possibilities.
PS. Hyp/sin/cos/tan legends are in the regular Gorton Modified font @ 0.100" (same as other modifiers and same as DSA Dolch)

I think either way would work, but I just wanted to make sure. It's actually kind of tricky because the LaTeX (CMU) font has a variable stroke, whereas the rest of the set is fixed.
Basically, I fattened the symbols to meet the minimum line thickness, while rescaling to the desired height. Seems obvious, but I wanted it to look right without redesigning the symbols with a fixed stroke.
I'll leave the poll open for a bit, but I'm going with Option 2 for now. :thumb:

Alpha colored caps => match numericals. Go with option 2.
Mod colored caps => match mods. Go with regular Gorton Modified font @ 0.100"?
I realize it might be overkill to go with both, but I suspect they'll be used both for numericals and mods so going with just one of those heights would make them mismatch the other, I guess. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Where will they be used and how?

Mod colored caps => match mods. Go with regular Gorton Modified font @ 0.100"?
I realize it might be overkill to go with both, but I suspect they'll be used both for numericals and mods so going with just one of those heights would make them mismatch the other, I guess. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
(https://i.imgur.com/ztBNuQG.png)
- 0.100, 0.100, 0.100, 0.100 (uniform, modifier height)
- 0.100, 0.100, 0.150, 0.150 (LaTex proportions)
- 0.150, 0.150, 0.150, 0.150 (uniform, number row height)
- 0.150, 0.150, 0.187, 0.187 ("Option 2")
Last option should be something like 0.225 for phi & h-bar (respecting the 1.5x ratio with pi & e), but that's much larger than any legend on the set. (I think) the alphas are 0.187. There are many other possibilities as well...
Personally, I still prefer Option 2. Keep in mind that, even on the reference calculator, the legends are all different sizes.
They don't have to be consistent in size-- they just have to look consistent.
I think the optimal height is something in the range 0.133~0.143 for pi & e, but I'd rather keep it simple and similar to the regular DSA legends.

Okay, I just got what you meant... but I have no idea what that would look like. I'd have to provide a center line, but that would still look similar to the first/second row from the previous post, at least in scale. Imagine a fixed line width.

I think you should just do what you think looks best
but yes, option B is nice because it’s optically proportionate.

I got confirmation on those values, FYI. Might be useful in the future.

Update
✓ Order placed
✓ Graphics
✓ Payment
☐ Production (started)
The order was placed shortly after the group buy ended. About ~1 week to compile the proxies' numbers and evaluate how many extras we would each get. Well over 100 in total.
The vectors graphics were finalized and approved a while back. We re-confirmed various details about the legends (eg. equal size Numpad symbols, scale of novelties, etc.)
All our proxies (ahem) have finally paid, just last week. There was an error in the invoice SP sent, and it took an extra week to get the updated invoices. The good news is, detecting the error now means less delays in the future.
We were quoted at 10 weeks (~end August) for production end/shipping. However, that included several weeks for in-house custom colour matching, which was already done (last year!) when I ordered the samples. So, there's potential for cutting down production time quite a bit, depending on whether they need to redo the colour matching. I haven't got a newer time estimate (other than 10 weeks). For now, they have started to work on various molds. Therefore, we can say that, for all practical purposes, production has started!
I will update when I have further information.
Cheers!

Nice! Do you know if the teal color will get a SP color code assigned? Would love to get some colored spacebars, but all that's currently available is the GB (dark gray)...
I doubt it.
You could ask SP to make some while the group buy is in production, but it will be very expensive. If you can gather 10 people, then it could be around $15 each (that's my guess from a previous quote).

There’ll probably be some extras. The last numbers are probably combining the vendors at the end even if they were purchased throughout + vendor purchases?

Yeah... it did boom on the last day, but many extras were added after the buy ended.
Basically, that's the final order we sent to the manufacturer. It accounts for all buys, errors and extras.
It wasn't really necessary to publish it, but TKC posted these numbers on their website, so might as well... for historical purposes.

No no no... August 12 on TKC's website is wrong. I looked at GMK Skiidata and the date is the same, so it must be a placeholder date from when they overhauled the website. (no idea...)
I still have no date from SP on shipping. The "August" shipping date is calculated from the normal DSA doubleshot production time estimate, which is 10 weeks from payment.
As far as I am concerned, production should finish and ship to the vendors in August, assuming there are no delays.

Haha, I have the exact same thinking. Never used DSA before, hope I don’t hate it :D

I’m going to cerakote a left handed Candybar in a blue color. At least, that’s my tentative plan.
I too have been thinking about ceracoating a case but I don't know if I can/want to afford it. Also which case? This set cries for sth. simple yet classy... Candybar case looks good but I prefer the 60-65% form factor. M0110 Modern or kishsaver maybe? Or Grid600? Could work with all of them but they're all so gosh darn expensive :'(

As soon as we get them. There will be a few at each proxy.
Post by: voodoo6k on Mon, 12 August 2019, 15:45:37
Me too ^^
What case are you guys planning to use with it?
I'm really looking forward to seeing it on Race 3, Planck and Ducky Pocket, among others!

Any update if this will ship this month? Originally it was set for August 12th?
Latest from TKC:
Updated our page. Spoke to Melissa yesterday. We are on track for delivery before the end of August. I set the ESTIMATED fulfillment date as 9/01 and will update again when we get more info.

Edit:
It was brought to my attention that some buyers may not have received their shipping info (tracking number, etc.) thru a Canada Post email.
If that is your case, then please reply to any yakk.shop email (such as an invoice) or directly to: orders@yakk.shop
If this issue is widespread, I will resend every tracking number individually.

Any word on US shipments?
From TKC on Discord:
Quote
As some of you may know, SP sent off Scientific to the wrong address, despite me providing my new warehouse info as well as my own UPS account number to use.
The package was supposed to be redirected and held at the local UPS hub for us to pick up.
Well, UPS only held 1/7 of the packages :-(
TL;DR DSA Scientific wont ship until next week. Sorry for the bad news.
Sh!t happens. Especially with large shipments like this one.

The stabilizers are in the wrong place, see attached picture. The grey key in the middle is the original Race 3 key, the other two are the DSA scientific keys. Was there another ISO enter key for the Race 3?
Post by: voodoo6k on Wed, 18 September 2019, 09:44:36
My sets just arrived, they look lovely. One problem, though: The ISO enter keys don't fit my Vortex Race 3 :(

The ISO enter key was actually just brought to our attention yesterday afternoon. We are working on re-running these but likely won’t be ready to ship them out until Monday.
Sorry about that! You will get replacements. Keep those as novelty items! :cool:

You should probably still alert them, although I think they already know since either they or another buyer got to SP before I did.
Thanks!
Post by: Mekberg on Fri, 20 September 2019, 04:45:23
So... yeah. The ISO Enter is wrong. Not sure how that is even possible, what boards even use that narrow spacing?
Do I register a complaint with mykeyboard, or is this a systemic issue that will be handled centrally?

It's already been addressed earlier in the topic
Ah, right, my bad. I missed the reply to that convo.
Guess I'll send an e-mail to mykeyboard just to let them know and wait. Thankfully I just bought my first ANSI keyboard, so maybe the kit won't go to waste in the meantime either way :D

I can't say... perhaps check with Mykeyboard thru email or Discord. (They may be holding on to the ISO orders, like TKC.)
The new ISO Enters were sent out by SP a few minutes ago.

Update 23 Sept 2019 Signature plastics sent back 6/7 boxes. Waiting on the last box, it was to be dispatched today. They are also sending the fixed ISO kits, so we can ship it all once it arrives. I expect these to be out the door by Wednesday, 9/25 barring no further delays from SP.
Everyone is doing their best to get these out. Trust me!

That's one thing. Another is how bad the sprues are on all the caps, and the fact that they seem to be putting the on the front of the caps. I honestly would expect more quality for the money they charge.
I have my first GMK set coming up soon as well, will be interesting to see the difference between the two.

GMK is much better IMO. Plastic is thicker, place where keycap is cut from the sprue is less visible and when installed invisible because it is not facing You. For someone who is in scale modelling seening what SP did to hide sprue cuts is like seeing Kitty Hawk kits.

For those who haven't noticed... the ISO Enters are in actual DSA profile and not DCS like it was in the past.
Wait what? Really? I got mine shipped before, but didn't notice (haven't dressed a keyboard with them yet though). Have SP made any statements about the DSA ISO Enters finally being in the correct profile?

NecromanX Today at 9:46 AM
not yet
they were stuck in customs
and they ended sending them back ...
SP didnt ship it with proper documents since it was not a commercial transaction so it needed proof for those things
we have to wait till SP reships it
I ll query them and see if they got them back already
