So while Oblivion is running its course, I've been tinkering on another project for a while now. These two sets are done in collaboration with Gregor, a good friend of mine who is very skilled in the 2D and 3D arts world. The main inspiration for these sets is as some of you may quickly notice: World of Warcraft, namely the Arcane mage as well as the whole undead environment in the north of the Eastern Kingdoms. Plague was intended to be name Necro, but someone else was quicker on that one ;)
My friend has created a first revision of the novelties we have in mind, subject to change. They will absolutely need more work done, for example refining them to fit the keys properly, and making sure the level of detail is possible to do in the CNC machine that will carve these into metal. Also the Plague set will probably replace the 1u Sheep novelty, have a unique one on Return and the 1.5u and 1.25u bottom row keys. However I wish to gain some feedback on them before we waste many hours 'finalizing' them only to throw a couple out or so.
The sets are for the DSA profile, thus uniform. Also I very much intend to run these as entire single kits instead of splitting stuff off, much like in the style of SA Camping and SA PhotoStudio. So as far as compatibility goes, I think I've covered all of the usual stuff. Also running two sets will more or less halve the cost of novelty creation costs on each.

No ISO? Havent bought any DSA set, but how much is one of those sets in general? Like GMK? Cheaper/more expensive?
Not really a fan of using a DCS key to fill the gap in DSA. We should try to figure out a way how to get the mold funded tho.

What? Are you saying DSA enter dont exists? DSA Run (candykeys) have a iso enter for example.

Correct, all DSA sets with ISO return keys have used the mold from DCS. It doesn't quite fit since DCS is cylindrical while DSA is spherical, also different thickness.

Don't use ISO but 100% agree.

I think people would know if it existed, but sets have alway used the DCS enter due to the DSA mold not existing.

first off! Take my money I want both! As a avid world of Warcraft player these sing to me!!! Now the novelty's I do have a bit of feedback! I really like some of them! like the sheep! The mana Potion... The eye and the frost shield!!!... those look wicked for the mage!... rest of them I am a bit mixed on! as far as mage goes... they look a bit to much like necromancer/priest skills.... we have the enter key that looks like a skeleton which is more ... warlock soul siphon... then we have the tendrils that look like void tendrils from a priest. Skull is a nice cap for the necro set thats very death knight like. the lighting not really sure what that was suppose to be... then the dual energy blobs look cool but remind me of Chaos bolt which is also a warlock skill
Some inspiration I might use for the sets are skill icons for Deathknight for the plague land sets!!! and Mage skills for the mage set... otherwise this set looks amazing! like said hurry take my money!
one other question I do have is it possible!! to get a black alpha set with the neon green letters?
Hope this is helpful man and totally looking forward to this set! hardcore!

Right but the thing is the novelties are, at least currently, the same ones for both sets - meaning they're not mage exclusive, they're meant to be reminiscent of other classes too, hence there's some warlock/priest-esque etc stuff in there.
Oblotzky has stated he's working on a ton more novelties so I'd assume the 2 sets will have different ones eventually if budget allows.

Maybe I/we can come up with a few more 1u ones though. But I'll probably try to avoid that for cost reasons. This set won't be on MD with 500+ units selling where 50-75$ per new mold is negligible

even if they share novelty's and they stay the same! I am totally understanding of that! and I know price needs to be affordable! Thats really important. That was one thing with the last keycap buy in I was part of. I couldn't afford both color way's no matter how i tried to slice it! I think it was going to be like 250 dollars to outfit two tada 68's... and just doing a single race 3 was going to cost me like 180.. so just couldn't do it had to settle for a single set!.. for a Tada 68 which ended up being like 140 I think with novelties!.. on massdrop so yea I totally be down for sacrificing some for better price!.

I would love if you offered green space bar option and possibly a green number stripe. But I might be the only crazy one who loves green this much. If you can do a green space I might want it bad enough to pay the whole extra cost if that's a possibility.

One comment I would like to make is a request for added homing/non-homing keys to support different keyboard layouts - eg. N/T for Colemak, H/U for Dvorak, and non-homed F/J.
I'd also love to see a full set of icon modifiers but that's probably a bit much to ask :D

It is indeed a different tone than VAT, I'll be picking out a specific Pantone soon which would then be a custom color in this project. Accent colored spacebars are also on my list now. Regarding Colemak/Dvorak support, it's a bit tough since it would add 1.75 Backspace and H U N T as dished keys, so 5 keys more total which is like 6-8$ on this scale

VAT isn't as intensive in RL, this is a whole different level of intensity. I can't comment on Colemak/Dvorak support, but, for starters to firm up the set maybe some blanks as and optional kit to fill up the different layouts needed like the recent spike of 40/50% users without needing to make more legended keys.

Post by: William_S_Jones on Mon, 18 September 2017, 08:26:22
Here's an idea. What if the novelties replace the default keys in their position entirely? So ESC and F1 - F12 gone, RETURN and numpad RETURN gone, SUPER keys gone, UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT gone. That could probably save us an easy 20$, and we could instead add the Dvorak & Colemmak support and maybe 40% support (needs like 5 keys or so?). The spacebars could possibly be made only in accent color too though that one I'm not so sure about till I've done proper keyboard renders.I love both w/ novelties as is. I'm a 40% user & the additional thing I would love to see if complete 40% (font) support; other that, I like what I see.

It doesn't take much to create your own homing keys and that covers all the alternate alpha layouts with just 2 keys.
So basically I am asking, is there anyone who likes the set but does not like the novelties?
FWIW, my opinion would be to keep the standard F-keys. The others (esc, return, etc) could be dedicated novelties. Maybe that would be enough to slip in 40% support?

The plague in WoW has a direct association with the forsaken/undead.
I guess Undercity did have mages, just the green reminded me of fel corruption colors they use for warlock stuffs, but probably better to keep uniformity.
Haven't played WoW in years but as I love DSA I can't see myself not getting both sets.

Novelty-only Esc and Super is fine but I absolutely need properly labeled Return and arrow keycaps.
Accented-only spacebars and novelty-only F1-F12 would be too fancier for me.

I have no problems paying more for this set to keep more keys, however I definitely plan to use artisans for the F row and the novelties as my number row/arrows, so those omissions wouldn't bother me at all.
This is not really a big deal, but if you leave in RETURN, that allows the option of using that novelty on left shift instead, which I was thinking of doing since I plan on using the numpad RETURN novelty on backspace.

Yes, it's more of a style thing. I somehow feel that novelties larger than 1u are screaming for attention and make keysets look unbalanced.
One exception may be novelty designs on 1.5u keycaps which can be put symmetrically on TKL winkeyless bottom rows. I don't like too much novelties on my boards ;D

Wanted to throw this out there I am not sure its a popular option but might be a fast/cheap option our least cheaper and faster. I personally find the quality to be outstanding on the set I own which might have been pure luck. Vendor wise have you thought about JTK? They seems really really nice. I am typing on a set now been using them for almost a week I love them honestly. I know people said they had issues but mine seem to be pretty clean and top notch. I do tend to not notice major things thought unless pointed out so perhaps I am just blind. I wanted to ask cause I wouldn't mind seeing more sets by them special for the price.
JTK wouldn't be dsa though right? :(

I am so hyped for this set! I've never been following a keyset from this early in its life, does anyone have a guess how long we might be from a GB?
I think we might see the GB happening this year. Still refining novelties and will go over compatibility for 40% and check what can be done there

Oh cool, that's sooner than I expected! Nice!
Can't wait to see the refined novelties and renders :D

Keyboard renders added to first post! Go check em out ;)
Novelties have been refined and should be ready for production, we'll have that confirmed by Melissa when the time comes.
The kit has been adjusted slightly, accent spacebars added, the windows 1.25u and 1.5u novelty keys are now mirrored for left and right and Return (text and novelty) have been added in regular modifier color to accommodate compact layouts such as 65% and 96key where arrows + return in accent color squished together looks a tad odd.
I'll have this kit priced out and then see if we can sneak in FJ (but not 5) in non-homing for alternate layouts, and possibly 40% support as well.
That's it for now!

I'm definitely in for Plague, but only if it is not run by massdrop.
I would prefer it be run by massdrop my self that way MOQ is almost guaranteed but if I am not mistaken this sets already been said to be run outside of Massdrop.

Correct, this set will not be run by Massdrop. Not that I'd have anything against that myself, but people seem to be hard on that so just letting everyone know sooner than later.

Thanks, sorry if I missed it somewhere else! And sweet, can't wait, I'll probably end up getting both sets, Arcane for GF and plague for me!

Any idea what kinda price tag we are looking at on these? I want both sets so need to figure out a budget for both? Are DSA sets like GMK about 150-180 bucks each? Are we looking at something closer to like SA set of like 100
Really not sure about this set in particular but generally DSA is a lot cheaper than GMK. I would guess 100 or so but who knows.

Hey guys, we finally put together the website for the set on Kono Store (Input Club's web store). Please do sign up for the waitlist if you are interested in purchasing this set, once we have gathered enough interests, we'll launch the GB. A EU proxy via mykeyboard.eu is still intended to happen as well no worries.
Thanks!

Can you do light gray alphas? Like in deep spacd
I don't think that he's planning to change any design, but input is always welcome here at Geekhack. I think a very light gray would look boss too, but I'm pretty sure nothing is going to change.

K-Type being abandoned pretty much.
Hako Clear Switches and having been lubed improperly
Then Reports of SA Lime coming in with damage then being sent out.
I know Kono store is new to the scene and once again might be growing pains but.. I don't know the recent track record just has me worried. I still buy the set but could buy with more confidence thought another vendor honestly.

The damage on SA Lime is 100% MaxKey’s fauls and the K Type drama is on Assdrop (the vendor everyone trusts, who can’t get a single thing right to save their lives). Input Club is a trustworthy and long standing vendor with an impeccable track record, just the Kono brand is new. Despite getting totally screwed repeatedly last year they always made it right by their customers to the best of their ability. Your distrust is massively misplaced.
Maxkey thing sure I totally understand... ok thats on there heads!!! thought I still call it questionable that input club would send out obviously damaged product to customers but benefit of the doubt...
K-Type thought is 100% on them not massdrop.. Massdrop didn't design the K-Type.. they didn't push for the K-Type to be built.. all they did was help fund the thing and sell it. Like saying Walmart is to blame cause something they sold is not being supported by the manufacture. Massdrop didn't put there name on the K-Type Input club did. I really hope they didn't completely abandon the project cause they had a falling out with another company... cause that be really crappy to there customers who bought in expecting a supported product.

I signed up, though not sure I can join by the time the GB goes live
is there a proxy for Asia? :D

I signed up for this set cause really like it but... wanted to just throw my 2 cents into the hat. Could it possibly be done thought another vendor. I mean perhaps its just growing pains but doesn't seem like a lot has gone right in favor of Input club and anything they ran lately.

Thanks for sharing your concerns. I'll be overseeing production, writing detailed instructions to SP and checking in on production pictures to make sure everything turns out fine. The sets are then shipped to I:C in bulk, they sort them into smaller packages and ship them out to you. I don't see much they can do wrong in a keyset GB so I'm confident that they can handle it just fine. Producing your own series of switches and keyboards is a whole different ballgame.

Aiming for second half of Feb with an MOQ of 100 for both kits.Has this fallen through the cracks? DSA Plague is too good to not happen.
