Keyboard Giveaway: Reddit Thread

DSS Late Harvest is a custom keycap set in the DSS profile that combines a classic grey & white pairing with a muted, autumnal approach to vintage RGB mods. It consists of a large base kit that provides physical compatibility for a wide range of mainstream and exotic MX-compatible boards along with three child kits for additional color & language options.

DSS Late Harvest keycaps will be made with doubleshot ABS plastic and manufactured by Signature Plastics.

Kits & Contents

DSS Late Harvest is structured as a base kit with three optional child kits.  Using a combination of both popular and agnostic modifier legends, this base kit should provide wide physical compatibility with a large array of keyboard types, including Full-size, 1800s, Tenkeyless, 60-75%, Split/Alice, Ortholinear, 40%, and Ergodoxian.

Base Kit diagram (up-to-date as of 26 Feb 2021) (Full Size).

Child Kits
Grey Kit (Full Size).Spätlese Kit (NorDe) (Full Size).Novelties Kit (Full Size).

The Grey Kit contains grey-colored versions of the accent-colored keys from base along with an additional R3 Stepped key with an agnostic legend.

The Spätlese Kit provides “NorDe” support. It provides the additional legends used by the the German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, & Fareoese layouts. Spätlese, which literally means “Late Harvest” in German, is a wine grown along the western rivers of Germany. Legend has it that this wine’s invention came about by accident. A courier carrying orders from the Bishop of Fulda to begin the harvest was delayed by 14 days; the grapes succumbed to “noble rot” before the late harvest and yielded an unexpectedly good wine (Spätlese on Wikipedia).

The Novelties Kit for Late Harvest is intentionally small and should be priced very competitively.  While these designs technically meet Signature Plastics' official specifications for legends, both novelty designs are likely to be tweaked prior to production.


Obtaining Further Spacebars

The kitting for Late Harvest does not currently offer a distinct spacebar kit for alternative spacebar sizes. Signature Plastics does not currently manufacture convex spacebars in the DSS profile that are typically used in split and nonstandard keyboards. Because of the uniform nature of DSA and its structural similarity to DSS, concave DSA blanks are provided in the base kit as a reasonable alternative for several common sizes. If you require other sizes of bars, please refer to Signature Plastics’ own Pimpmykeyboard storefront, where a wider range of DSA blanks and DSA spacebars are regularly available.

Color Standards & Honeywell Comparison
More
DSS Late Harvest Color Standards. Grey and white will be Signature Plastics’ stock colors GSZ and WA. The red, olive, and blue colors will be matched to RAL 8015, RAL 090 30 20, and RAL 260 30 20.  Colors shown in keyboard renders and diagrams should not be treated as accurate representations of final keycap colors. Manufacturer samples of the three custom colors will be checked against physical color decks of the RAL standards above. Be aware that some variation is always possible, and these colors are not guaranteed to be exact.


DSS Late Harvest has drawn some comparisons to Honeywell for the use of grey, white, and red. DSS Honeywell is an implementation of the classic Honeywell color scheme in DSS profile. It was produced by Prime Keyboards, and it consisted of a comprehensive kit for a variety of 40% keyboards. Below is a comparison of the two colorways’ specs.


About the DSS Profile
More
DSS is a keycap profile created by the company that would become Signature Plastics. It was designed in the mid-80s to meet the DIN standards (Deutsches Institut für Normung). While DSS was not initially very popular, it became the basis of the successful uniform DSA profile (Source).



Excerpt from the Signature Plastics DSS Family Specification.

DSS keycaps have spherical top surfaces nearly identical to those of DSA. However, as seen in the images above, the heights and angles of the top surfaces vary by row. The overall pattern of these heights and angles resemble Cherry profile, though in practice DSS feels quite different.

DSS Late Harvest will use an R3 bottom row, which matches the overall angle and height of the convex spacebars and is not as sharply angled as R4.

DSS keycaps are only available in ABS plastic. DSS tends to be more noticeably textured than other keycap profiles. The somewhat rougher feel of the caps may not be a common preference, but personally I find that texture quite enjoyable. The unique feel and sculpt of DSS make it one of my favorite keycap profiles, and I am excited about the possibility of more DSS group buys on the horizon.

Thanks for the support, everyone!  All vendors went live yesterday, and we had a relatively smooth start to the GB.  I really hope to be able to make it possible for lots of new users to try out the DSS profile, no matter the board they use with it.

I've updated the end date of the GB to May 19th.

I've been playing around with some nonphotorealistic rendering techniques, and I have some images to share!
The first two use KLE-Render to generate the baseline key and legend images, while the last one was done fully in Inkscape using a mathematical approximation of the DSS sculpt.

266803-0
This first is a 'shop of DSS Late Harvest on the GMMK Pro (used by permission from Glorious).

266805-1
This is a similar 'shop on the MB44 (thanks to Nasp for sharing the board render).

266807-2
This is an isometric render of the keyset on a 60% board with Tsangan layout.

DSS Late Harvest: THOK Collab Now Available
Better late than never: THOK brings a metal artisan collab to DSS Late Harvest!

266882-0

The majority of this aluminum keycap will be powdercoated with a color that closely matches RAL 8015 (the red-brown featured on the control keys).

Available at (or coming soon to) most Late Harvest vendors. If you have already placed an order for DSS Late Harvest and want to add this artisan, contact your vendor to see if they can combine your orders and/or provide a shipping discount.

Slight differences in color are possible because the production processes for these artisans are entirely different from the keycaps. Great care will be taken to match as closely as possible though.

The artisan should be matched to DSS R1.  The render may look a bit more like DSA simply because THOK did not have had the full geometry for rendering DSS available yet.

Great looking set! It's really hard to find a reasonably priced set with norde kit that might actually ship this year. No idea if I'll actually like the DSS profile but excited to try it out anyway.

BTW any idea if the artisan will find its way to mykeyboard.eu? Would be awesome to get an EU vendor for it to dodge any extra customs/delivery fees.

I've asked them about the listing.  I thought they had it live already, but they may have missed the communication.

To be honest, I can't say for certain whether either of those is accurate.  The diagrams aren't intended to be photorealistic, and the rendering process for DSS is still in very early stages.

My plan is to match the sizing of legends as seen in DSS Dolch.

It is definitely not hyped like Olivia or Striker but given the pace I was not afraid of this keyset to fail either.

Some notes:

1) The GB ends May 19th.

2) Vendors have given assurances that all plastic kits will be made, so you can order with confidence.

3) Signature Plastics is already shipping me the first round of samples for colormatching.

4) I've added several more renders to the original post.  Huge thanks to ImperfectLink, Bregoli, and iinko for making them possible!

5) I'm doing a keyboard giveaway to promote the set on Reddit.

First round of color samples is in.  The green and blue have been approved.  The red-brown is close but needs another round; it's currently a tad too light and could use a tiny touch of more red.

I think there's a decent chance we'll be able to fulfill these.  The tricky thing with deskmats isn't so much the absolute groupwide MOQ so much as the cost of shipping them from the factory to the individual vendors.  There's a rough minimum you need in a shipment to make the per-unit cost break even; you risk losing money on them otherwise.

But I do think we'll get enough orders to make it worthwhile to print & ship them.  The one item that really needs some divine intervention is the THOK artisan.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered the mat and THOK in addition to the caps. Fingers crossed.

As shared in my Discord server, the latest sample for the RAL 8015 (the last remaining color) was approved today. Color matching for Late Harvest is now complete.

Nice! Excited

DSS Late Harvest Update
Unfortunately, due to delays in SP receiving plastic from their supplier, our estimated ship date has slipped from October to early December.

And we’re now looking at production in late December, with shipping in Q1 of 2022. Freaking plastic shortage.

Yeah, I'm aware of that too.  My big plans to roll out a new keyboard design came to a screeching halt.  Have to totally redesign the PCB to use an STM MCU, or I just get to play the waiting game with everybody else.

This link has the multi-STM MCU strategy I developed so that designs are compatible with a variety of STM MCUs which should help. It also contains a pre-build template which you can just copy and use.

They are shooting to have the [set] done for the end of December, but realistically, this is likely going to be the first week or two into January.

So, this is exciting:

DSS Late Harvest keycaps are now shipping to vendors!

My personal kits are headed to me as well.  I'll try and get some pictures; I'm not the best photographer, but I'm excited to start showing these off.

They've been available for preorder on MKUltra.  I don't know what the timelines are for the other vendors; I think MyKeyboard prefers to only do in-stock extras.

At this stage, you should get in contact with the specific vendor.  Some have finished shipping, some are in the middle of it, and some have not yet begun.
