I have sent a quote off to Signature Plastics.

After I get the quote back, I will see where to go from there.

Hi,

So I've got the quote back from Signature Plastics and here it is:



They also said that they are booked with DSA through November so they can't run it until December.

[jjanssen1]

I have edited the child deals and have sent another quote to signature plastics.

[jjanssen1]

Child deals updated

[jjanssen1]

Added new pricing points.
I will hopefully contact Massdrop later today to see what can be done about a group buy

-Joshua

[jjanssen1]

Hi everyone,

I have contacted Massdrop and are waiting for a reply back from sales.

Thanks

Lookin good, this could be my second DSA keycaps set.


Only one problem, my k-boards are 108 keys. So I be missin 4 caps? If I join this GB/drop if/when it is comin  to Massdrop.


 
Ok I have a ISO/Nordic Ducky Shine 3 YYY TKL (I don't use TKL k-boards) so I gonna give that k-board to my son.

Hi,

What are the extra 4 keys so that I can either add them to a current pack or add a new one.

Hi Joshua


Thanks for the answer, the 4 extra keys are Calc, Mute, Volume down and Volume up.


These 4 keys have to be great.

You're welcome.


I don't mind usin those 4 keys in the image for as a replacement for the Calc, Mute, Vol up and down keys, I never use them anyway. It is most for  get a full 108 matchin keys set on my second Ducky One k - board.



I use the 104 keys Tai - Hao Miami keycaps set on my Ducky One RGB YOTG board, so I'm missin 4 caps on that board.

Added novelties

[Overchecken8]

Love the colors and the novelties. With the turnaround of the lightcycle and now the Borealis I'd love to see this in DSA.

Any chance for 40% (MiniVan) support?

I am thinking of only doing the child deals listed in OP, but I might end up doing it if I get enough interest.

[jjanssen1]

I still haven't received a reply back from Massdrop sales, I might have to end up hosting the group buy independently or through PMK.

-Joshua

[jjanssen1]

Still no news from massdrop. Does any know how I would go about hosting it here on geekhack?

-Joshua

[SimCard2597]

Are you thinking about a ergodox/ dactyl compatible kit? Would love to buy the kit but would need the 4x 2u keys too

[jjanssen1]

I could maybe add the extra 4 keys to the novelties or Planck set to make it ergodox compatible?

Unless you can think of any other ways of doing it?

Any chance of adding some extra mods to the Planck set? Gives a little bit more flexibility to laying out the right side/corner, such as Backspace, Enter, Shift, or replacing the arrow keys with Ctrl, Meta, Super, Hyper.

[blackriver]

This is an awesome set, I really hope all goes well.

A user from r/MK suggested adding 2 blank 1u keys to the Planck set for people who use GRID layout. Is this sort of where your coming from?

-Joshua

[FioraCorp]

I love it!  Really hoping this goes through cause I think I might have the perfect build in mind for it.

[Omnipotent]

Wow, I'm also loving this. You can put me down as definitely be down to buy a set.

-Joshua

It wasn't quite my suggestion (although having 2x 1u blank is something I forgot to mention!)

Because there are so many different custom layouts for the Planck, adding some duplicates to the mods might help support those where people have the same key twice. The most common example of this is having a right and left shift, like this:


I'm not sure how common other duplicates are though.

Guess there's no way you'll add a Colemak set?

[jjanssen1]

Guess there's no way you'll add a Colemak set?

I'm not planning on making Colemak at the moment, sorry

[grayman027]

any chance to add non-standard bottom rows (1.5 - 1 - 1.25 - 6.5 - 1.25 - 1 - 1 - 1.5)?

Ah well, i'll still probably pick it up.

Love the color in the picture, but not sure if the color chip matches the picture? Seems a bit too strong.
If this goes to GB then I'm in!

Yea, wishing I had render skills because I'd love to see a high quality render of this and I'm sure that might help drum up support for the IC.
Maybe the green would look a little more accurate /shrug

[InfernoZeus]

Guess there's no way you'll add a Colemak set?

As this is DSA, can't you just swap the keys around to match Colemak? The only issue would be homing I guess.

@jjanssen1 Does the Base Alpha set have homing keys?

@jjanssen1 Does the Base Alpha set have homing keys?

Now that you mention it, you actually could just swap the keys around for a Dvorak or Colemak layout. And yes the base alpha has homing keys, but I could add 2 non homing keys to make it Dvorak/Colemak compatible.

That would be good. A Homing Keys set, with T/N (Colemak) and U/H (Dvorak), would be great too, but reaching MOQ would be unlikely?

To be honest, i didn't realize that DSA profiles didn't matter. But yeah, homing keys set with TN/UH plus a non-homing FJ would be amazing.

I'm pretty new to this whole scene, but I believe this is true for DSA.
