Kits
Rendered by Izeri
The base kit includes support for a variety of boards from 60 to TKL, including Alice, UK ISO, and F13.
The numpad kit includes support for full-size and 1800 boards (in conjunction with the base kit) and standalone numpads.
The accent kit adds a pop of color to your board -- more orange, the same one found in the legends.
The 40s kit adds support for a variety of popular and obscure 40s and Ortho boards, notably including the Minivan.
The Mac kit adds legend-correct support for Mac layouts, including F14 and F15 to replace some top-row modifiers.
The NorDe kit offers affordable support for a variety of European layouts, including Swedish, Finnish, German, Danish, Norwegian, Estonian, and Faeroese.
The spacebar kit includes a 6u convex bar, as well as 1.25u blanks for 6.25u split layouts. An additional 1u blank and two 3u blanks are included for a 3-1-3 split.
These novelties -- designed by Stellaidoscope -- aim to bring the set beyond just a colorscheme, featuring drawings of scenes from Carpinteria alongside classic weather icons.

About DSS Profile
Click MORE for more information
MoreDSS profile was created by Comptec Inc (now known as Signature Plastics) to fit the universal keycap standards introduced in the mid-80s. Fading out of the spotlight shortly after in favor of its uniform brother DSA, DSS was considered lost to history until its reintroduction in the late 2010s.
Featuring a spherical top (similar to DSA), DSS is sculpted profile, much like the Cherry and SA profiles in that regard. Made from ABS plastic, DSS offers a unique typing experience. If you’ve ever wished that your DSA keycaps were sculpted, your GMK keycaps were spherical, or you just want to try something new… DSS may be right for you.
DSS Carpinteria uses a 1-1-2-3-4-3 sculpt.
To compare DSS to your favorite keycap profiles, check out Keycaps.info

Note: As SP does not offer split spacebars in the DSS profile, DSA blanks are offered as an alternative in the base, 40s, and spacebar kits.
