Title: [GB] DCS Blue Moon [GB Over - Shipping]

DCS Blue Moon is inspired by the wonderful lunar phenomenon and the great colors that are seen during it.

About DCS:

DCS is a profile made by Signature Plastics. It can be made using numerous materials, but this set will use doubleshot ABS plastic. The sculpt of DCS is very similar to cherry profile. DCS will also have a much shorter leadtime in comparison to manufacturers like GMK and EPBT, but a little longer than manufacturers like Domikey.

Comparing DCS to cherry profile, the corners are rounded, and the caps are a bit thinner with a slightly taller profile. This allows them to not be affected by keycap interference resulting from a north-facing switch configuration.

There is a bit more texture on the top of the caps compared to GMK, but there is virtually no texture on the sides of the caps.
