==========================================================================



=========================================================================
Hi guys, I'm Hoq. I'm pleased to introduce our newly designed DSA keycaps for some minimized keyboards.

It is called Wolf Mark.

We are a Planck/Preonic/Atomic keyboard Enthusiasts' group, and our members love the ortholinear keyboards very much.
In China We also have planck/preonic/atomic like keyboards called OCD40, 50, 60.

But,as you know, so less keycaps can match the Planck/Prionic/Atomic layout ,even some Group Buyes of the SA/DSA keycaps.They ignored it.

So, we designed a DSA/SA keycaps sets for ourselves especially for P/P/A keyboards.
And we also developed 2 kits for some popular minimized beyboards such as 60%(normal and WKL，HHKB layout), minila, and FC660M.

Maybe we are rare, but, we are willing to fullfill our needs all by ourselves hands.... 

============================================================
Totally 4 kits to be offered:
(1) base
(2) planck/preonic/atomic
(3) 60%/minila/fc660m
(4) wkl/ hhkb

1.base

2. Planck/Preonic/Atomic kit

3. 60%(normal), minila, and FC660M.

4.WKL/HHKB

the SP ABS color


below are some 2D renderings. Hope mini beyboards lovers enjoy them.











===================
Update:
2016-09-29: IC started.
2016-09-29: add a 1u key to WKL/HHKB kit; add HHKB 2d rendering.
2016-09-30: add a white 1u "\|" key to P/P/A kit; modifide the "delete" key in HHKB rendering.
2016-10-7: add 2 blanck white key to P/P/A kit; add a red enter key to 60/minila/fc660m kit.

Love the idea!

[MikeTheTiger]

Looks nice. I like the colors and the theme.

[KyleZhuang]

GTR is a wonderful choice.

[kenlee]

Nice render nice colorway

[mun2912]

why not SA row3? 

[tmk1207]

Greats, take my money.

[hoq]

why not SA row3? 

Thank you  guys for your appreciation.

As you know , SA production schdules are full and bursting...
According to the nearest SA Group Buys，their lead time will be 2017 JUNE，and prone to even more delay.

We can not wait that long, so we decide to organize DSA GB first.

[jebbra]

CAN I JOIN YOUR "SMALL" GROUP?! I really loves the color it's like Honeywell! But I already have Granite sooo uugh..

ANYWAY YOU GUYS HAVE A COOL GROUP!

Edit: I think you should add 2x 1u blanks to support Planck's Grid layout.

What time you will open gb?

[Tom_Kazansky]

The color is very cool!

Though I think I need a 1.75u Fn and the HHKB layout needs 1.5u Delete/Backspace

Thank you for your advice.
We will review our design soon to see what keys need to be added.

We are still waiting for SP’s further information. Also hope it can start as soon as possible.

[jchan94]

I definitely think you should consider full compatibility for full boards.

Infact, we are a small group of P/P/A lovers based in China.
We have a chatting room in QQ app.
If you are familiar with Chinese language.I'd like to invite you to join in.

[JaccoW]

Looks pretty cool.

[jebbra]

Dang I can't do chinese lol. Btw where I can get more info about the OCD? I love the fact that OCD40 using high rise case instead of low rise one like Planck.

[repuls0r]

Please include the options for 1800 layout. Definitely will join with 1800 layout

[hoq]

basically, this keysets only support 60% keyboards and below.
If this DSA keyset GB goes successfully， we will consider to run SA and try to cover all the layouts.

[Data]

Dang, this is nice.

My Atomic might actually get some use with this. 

[hoq]

Thank you for your advice, bro.
We really hope to fullfill more keyboards.

However, it is our first try,  We want to make it consice and affortable for 60% keyboards  lovers.
Moreover, it's hard for us to run a large-scope GB,  unless we find a foreign partner.

But, we believe  we can make more adequate preparation for the next run some day.

The colors aren't very striking but it's certainly a nice combination when every set now is just out there to blind you silly looking.
A very nice looking and "safe" for keyboards in most colors. 

RAS actually looks most like chilli red imo.

[arhetue]

I quite like it. Simple but stark.

I would be in for an F660M set.

[ideus]

The 1u \| key is missing off the main set; also, you may want to split the base set from the novelties.

We have noticed that, we will mend it ASAP.
Thank you, bro!

OCD series have no web page introduction, you may only buy it in TAOBAO.com.
The developer of OCD PCBs is a just greduated college student.

[Jedi]

I love this color combination so much.  I can't help but register my interest for my planck board.  Great, great job going with this classy classical colorway. 

[Judge_Mental]

I love it! This just begs for a Wild Hunt/Witcher key!

[cpeterson19]

Dude great work, the planck version is simply amazing i hope this makes it to GB i would love a set...or 2

[arhetue]

Oh wow yes it does. And maybe GoT house crest novelties? Stark and Targaryen - white wolf on gray, red dragon on black.

[kaiwwww]

looks cool

[maximm]

Looks nice!
Why is the space bar in the base kit?
It's only if use in the 60% kit

[breckstar]

Looks awesome.

[drakeonyou]

I'm up for a 60% set.

Can we have at least a RAS Enter?

[hoq]

Atomic keyboard also needs a 6.25 spacebar.
so we put it in the base kit.

[hoq]

If we add a 2.25u red enter key,
it will add some cost, and break the balance of color matching in some beyboards layout, such as minila , FC660，and HHKB.

If we get success this time. maybe we will consider a full layout design, we can make more novolties and kits to fullfill more users.

[Hypocaffeinic]

Nice set, and great concept to prioritise compatibility with Planck and other funny little 40% boards. I'm in for whatever will suit my Minivan!

That's fine by me. I'm still interested.

Is this sculpted?

DSA is a uniform profile.

[drakeonyou]

Oh, I didn't notice that this is just for DSA. I just saw that this is a DSA/SA set based on the 1st post at the time of me reading.

[priyadi]

My suggestions:

• A second set of Ctrl-Super-AltGr-Menu keys in P/P/A kit (with AltGr instead of Alt)
• Alt layout support (colemak, dvorak, workman). For DSA, simply add regular FJ & deep dish HUNT
• 2 blanks in P/P/A kit for grid layout users

[ideus]

Some of the best key sets manufactured, recently, include a six units space bar that may add to the 18xx and HHKB layouts some authenticity. You may want to explore the option to include one if SP has the molds to build it with centered and off centered stems. It may expand the coverage of the set and attract a bit more demand; while, the six unit space bar is not that popular yet, getting it later, in the same exact color may be unfeasible.

[Mophus]

I like it! I also second the idea of 2 blanks for grid layout on Planck, Preonic, and Atomic.

[gadzkun]

im in for minila set

[mrboovn]

I've been waiting for this colorway in DSA for too long

[iFreilicht]

Man this set is looking so good but I'd have to buy all four kits to get the keys I need (HHKB just for 1.5u Delete, P/P/A just for white "\|")  and then I'd still have two keys reading "Delete" right next to one another :/

A red enter for normal boards could look pretty cool as well, I would imagine.

[hoq]

Guys, thank you so much about your feedbacks . We have got some improvement about this groupbuy.

1. We have made a Massdrop voting page, you can chose the kits you love. We are likely to go with MD.
https://www.massdrop.com/vote/DSA-Wolf-Mark-for-Planck-Preonic-Atomic-60-Minila-FC660M-WKL-HHKB

2, Infact we have got the quotation from SP, and the price seems to be accceptable at MOQ100， 150，200。
   If under 100 sets ,the price is too high.

3, according to some feedbacks ,we added some keys, and will upload the new pics soon.

[bbmathlvr]

The only problem here is that it's another amazing DSA set that I will have to choose between!

[kenshinjeff]

Very nice colours, I'll be buying one : D

added！
