[IC] DCS HACKED
Druah:
I have the milk now
dvorcol:
You say in the OP "Why is there a separate numpad kit instead of one big kit? It's just far more economically viable to do a base and numpad for dcs."
Averaging US kit prices from 14 previous DCS GBs (7 Full Base, 7 TKL Base + Numpad) yields:
$124 Full Base
$121 TKL Base = $3 less than Full Base
$30 Numpad
$151 TKL + Numpad = $27 more than Full Base
Numpad orders were between 22% and 40% of TKL base orders.
What makes you say a Full base for DCS isn't economically viable?
EDIT: removed DCS Soware Revival because it didn't have Numpad at all

It was more in terms of demand vs pricing, dcs is mainly bought by enthusiasts imo as in the general population of keyboard enjoyers don't really buy dcs, which means that for numpad support demand is a lot lower, it's better to split them off in order to keep the costs down for the base, while still offering the numpad for the people who want it.
One of the big factors as well is that prices have gone up since 2022 to the point where it would be a substantial increase to the base kit (I talked about this in my discord as well)
Thanks for responding. I will continue to look into it in order to make it more viable for people, as I do want to run this set.
