Imagine reading ICs in 2021 (https://imgur.com/a/4uPkGXI)
IC Form (https://forms.gle/eJCGQp2zty76bufX6)

Introduction
Hello Geekhack. I have been disgruntled with the lack of options when it comes to Signature Plastics DCS. Barring a few projects that have been going on over the last few months, there have been very little in ways of offerings for DCS.
This, and an admiration for the timeless colour-way that is Honeywell, together has prompted the idea of trying to organise a run of DCS Honeywell.

History

The Honeywell colourway is one that takes its colours from a series of vintage terminal boards. These boards were produced and sold by the Honeywell brand a few decades after the acquisition of the Micro-Switch company and associated trademarks in 1950. These used their now distinguished SD series of Hall Effect switches. The caps used were very thick, tall, spherical, double-shot caps; and were made in a few configurations for different use-cases, whilst generally maintaining a familiar colour scheme. The Honeywell colour scheme as we know it in our modern use incorporates the grey and white scheme with the additions of red accents that have become timeless over the many years and rounds - This project is no different, though it is missing a black numpad…

Colours
The colours used will be WKF (alpha), GPA (mods), and RAS (accents). Please don’t take this picture as a colour accurate source.

Kitting

(https://i.imgur.com/Nj8NpDx.jpg)

This base kit supports ANSI/(UK)ISO 104, 1800, F13, Tsangan/MX HHKB, basic alice, and dirty mod pipe/tilde users. It also includes the choice of barred or nippled homing F, J and 5 keys.

Kitting is by no means final. I will be keeping an active eye on feedback and make reasonable changes as and when based on thematic choices and compatibility for the community.

The biggest point of contention I have is alice/split spacebar support. SP DCS spec states that spacebars under 3u are not produced convex (like normal spacebars), but are concave (like shifts).
This means there is no functional (albeit, aesthetic) difference from using shifts as spacebars. This is the reason I haven't supported those layouts out-right, but I am open to supporting them given the popularity of the layout. In the IC form, you can vote whether this should be added considering the information given.

I am going back and forth on legend for the mods, and haven't made a definite decision. I will be sticking with text+icon, but SP has options to choose from. For now, the renders will reflect the "stock" mod legending until final changes have been made, and finalised renders can be... rendered.

Qs and As

Will you remove UK-ISO from base?
No.

Ne alice/split space support avail?
Read the kitting section carefully.

Lmao why DCS? It's trash.
No.

No child kits?
DCS interest quite obviously isn't very high comparatively to other profiles. Adding child kits is certainly an option for more compat, but is also a point of failure.
If there is a decent amount of interest, I would love to add more compat and thematic choices via child kits/shifting kitting. But I'm not banking on it.

10u?
Yes please.

Estimate pricing?
I think it’s a bit of a pipe dream, but if a 200 MOQ could be met. Then my target price would be $110 (or less) with this base kit in mind. This obviously isn’t a final price.

Thanks/Credit
Credit to Miruim and 7bit for bringing this classic colourway to us in the first place via Deskthority.
Thanks to livingspeedbump/Andy for his blessing.
Thanks to friends that have given their time to provide me with feedback.
Thanks to Seoulcialite for the valuable information he has given to me.
Thanks to NathanAlphaMan for doing fantastic renders. It's great to see DCS models getting better and better.

If the goal is to provide Alice support, I'd also include 2u Shift as well as the extra B key.

That way an Alice layout's "spacebar" keys can match, and the user doesn't have to give up the numpad 2u in order to have a 2u spacebar.

Please note that Alice support includes an extra B as well. I would advise some R3 WFK blanks for spacebars (instead of R4 / R2 shifts). SP may be able to make this kit a small MOQ (50 iirc), but that may be too many.

I do not believe centred legends for DCS is a stock options and brand new moulds would have to made.
I also think on cylindrical keycaps, a corner aligned legends looks better. I would entirely agree if it the profile was spherical.

I do not believe that there is even a small amount of users that will use a separate numpad, plus an alice-style 60/65, and have the set across both boards. This cross section of choices is very particular. Nor are there any alice-style boards with a numpad that supports a 2u numpad shift that I know of. From the ones I've seen, they are all 1u 0.

The extra B will also come along with the space bars. I think if the user is okay with having shifts are spaces, they are likely okay with having the incorrect legend on the extra B. Though, having the same colour "spacebar" is a valid consideration.

If you're doing a separate spacebar kit, then that's all workable. I do know that the people who use GK64 layout and such, where the 2u shift key really is a shift key, would probably appreciate the compatibility too.

As for the extra B, note whether that increases that colors of plastic in the other kit. If so, you may be better off with it in base from a cost-optimization standpoint.

If someone with a gk64 decides to buy this they should buy a better keyboard.

I have not thought about the current processing times that should be measured in years. In any case, the price value is what you will end up having, waiting less would not compensate for what you will have on hand, would it?

I am certainly not going to going to do that. I understand that people have qualms with the typeface and general legending(there are certainly something that I think can be improved) of DCS, but I think everything has to be Helvetica(-ish)/GMK.

Depending on pricing and vendor's shipping costs—out of ConUS' has been insane, lately—this set may worth considering. Its colorway is second to none. Like Dolch and 9009, this combination is a true classic.

any chance of adding two 1.5u "Super" keys and one more 1u "Alt" for those of us using macos and 7u space bars? i know there are many of us who do not like the forced windows kitting. could be in an extension kit even though this option is less preferred. while i'm at it, i'll also lobby for R1 "=" key in numpad (it replaces the idiotic num lock key and makes perfect sense when working on a spreadsheet). no biggie if none of this is possible, but i thought it was worth asking (and if these are missing then it's an insta-pass for me, in case any one cares... plenty of options)

I love Honeywell-inspired colorways.
But I also love 40% boards.

Will you consider adding at least R2 1.75u Backspace, R3 1.5u Enter and R3 1.25u Tab to your base kit?
Something like DCS Delftware would be even nicer; it also has R2 1u Esc and R3 1u Code so I could at least avoid using Pg Up/Dn legends on columnar stagger boards. (Adding a second R3 1u key—something like Meta, Enter, or even Tab—would be sublime, but numpad + is at least a less-ugly legend than any of the Pg keys.)

full disclosure, i submitted a request for small-board support in your IC form a while back. But I might as well say it publicly, too.

the biggest reason to buy DCS these days is no cherry legends

helps break up the "every keyset looks the same" problem we've been running into the last year or two

interested, but only if you move the tab icon over to be in line with the text. the misalignment of the text and icon looks so bad imo

SP DCS, with the classy font, and that fantastic colorway.. That's a must have.
Wish there was another SA run too by the way.

Will "Nipple" be pad-printed?
Btw, in the render it's missing and the kitting shows the barred 5 key with the "Nipple" print.

that just means it'll have a nubbin instead of a bar

the legends can be cut (like a novelty) even if they don't support them right now, but it'll be pricy

Would you consider adding a 6u space bar? I'd love to be able to use this with my 87u once I mx convert it.

Also, my vote is for left aligned tab :)

not definitive, i know they have at least some NORDE-adjacent legends. not my IC so i'm not setting anything in stone.

i know i like to talk **** about it, but for SP the MOQ is low enough that it at least makes some sense to offer NORDE even if it's expensive. if the legends exist and you can deal with the extra SKU it's more of an annoyance than a problem, unlike on GMK sets where the MOQ is nuts.

I just noticed the centered arrows too. I think left aligned would look better personally.

Currently any spacebar under 6u is concave, no convex molds exist yet.

Completely understood. I still want space keys. Concave is fine. Hoping we see kitting for Alice layouts like in DCS 9009 or some of the other DCS sets running.

You may try to harvest the keycaps from a Focus FK-2001 that carry Alps switches; most of them are double shots with very nice legends and not so thick but good keycaps. I used to have one that I sold years ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this set get axed like DCS Superweld since both Honeywell & Hyperfuse are originally Originative sets and Originative didn't approve/allow DCS Superweld to be ran?

no, we shouldn’t have any problem with sp or originitive. honeywell had ran multiple times by different people before originitive/typemachina did, so they don’t have ownership over this.

Curious how as per usual mod colored pipe and tilde were removed after you took over from Huey. Surely it must save at least $20 per kit, otherwise there would be no reason to remove them.
