Group-buy feeler: Clear Blank 104key DSA keycaps

[simon_C]

This is a feeler thread for a possible group buy of a clear blank 104 set of Signature Plastics DSA keycaps. They're a low-profile spherical top non-sculpted keycap and would be great for making your 104 key board a little lower profile. I'm looking to see if there would be any interest in a clear blank keyset of these keys. They would be available in textured like in the 2nd pic below.
These would be for a Filco style board.

here is a picture of the DSAs

PLEASE SEE POSTS BELOW REGARDING NEW INFORMATION

okay i spoke with melissa at signature plastics. She says that they will be able to offer a kit for filcos with a matte finish and the DCS spacebar because the DSA spacebar is not available for filcos. if people are still interested and we can get a minimum of 25 orders in, it will be $43.42 a set

here is a comparison of the DCS spacebar with a few DSA keys that she sent me

so if people are still interested, let me know.

I might be interested in the glossy clears, do you have any pictures?
What will the price range be too?

[Quarzac]

Yeah, I'd need a price quote, but I'd possibly be interested in glossy clears.

[nikonf5]

If these are the same height as Das or WASD keycaps, I would be interested for sure.

if they are from SP, they should be

[nikonf5]

if they are from SP, they should be

In that case, definitely interested, and, depending on the price, might even go for multiple sets.

[simon_C]

yeah they would be from SP. nobody has had a set made yet. They are low profile and spherical like the first pic i posted (grey keys). it should be the same price as a set of keys from group buy round 4. if you want to be put on the list, please PM me  with "CLEAR DSA KEYS" in the subject line and ill put you on the list. ill send an email out to signature plastics about the possibility of getting the set made if we have enough interest and what the potential cost will be.

[dreamingftw]

I would be interested depending on the price. Thanks.

[simon_C]

well i just got word from signature plastics that they [apparently] no longer offer DSA keys in a glossy finish, even though it stated so on their website. There also might be in issue of availability of all the keys for a standard FILCO keyboard. this may end up not happening after all

[Quarzac]

Interest slashed. I was thinking a set of glossy caps would look cool on my Blackwidow. Matte, I dunno, and I don't want to blow $40+ on it.

[nikonf5]

I would still have been interested if it had a regular profile and was, for the most part, transparent but the low-profile is the deal breaker as my plan was to mod only certain keys and that would just be weird.

Really sad as I had been specifically looking for regular height transparent keycaps.

check group buy 4 then.

[xbla0x]

I'd be interested if I could use them on my leopold tenkeyless I just bought. They have cherry blues.

[yjhuoh]

just to clarify. the clears in the second photo are not DSA? i'd be interested in a clear blank set, but with standard shape.

[alaricljs]

The second picture is NOT DSA and this GB is NOT for 'standard shape'.  GB4 is where you want to go for 'normal' or 'standard shape' clear keycap sets.

[yjhuoh]

link for group buy 4? i can't find it.

Doubleshot Replacements Round Four by 7bit.

[alaricljs]

Mmm yeah... didn't put group buy in the title

[Marclgw]

Is this dead?
If there are 25 candidates.
I will order another 25 to make it 50 sets and a lower price.
