Author Topic: [IC] DSA Take Out | MAJOR UPDATES (Read 36764 times)

Please Consider DSA Take Out

Howdy! I'd like to drop a project I've been working on for the past few weeks, that I'm really excited to share!

Inspired by your typical take out bag, DSA Take Out aims to embrace the ‘bootleg’ aesthetic created from cloned fonts and blurry single color illustrations.

This set if all goes as planned will be SP dyesub DSA. It uses SP WAN, and SP RBR for plastics, Pantone 1795 C and Pantone 440C for legends.

-----------

Charity? Yep! I plan on donating 25% of the profits to Meals on Wheels. Obviously, food related, this charity is extremely transparent and goes to a great cause.

-----------

UPDATE!

After mulling over this, and looking back on interest form, I've come to realize that this set just isn't going to make high enough MOQ to justify having external vendors. However, I still want the set, and I know others are in the same boat. Because of this, I'm going to be running this on my website and fulfilling it myself at a lower MOQ. Still going to be SP. Still going to be the same design. I'm going to be contacting SP this week about quotes, and if all goes well I should be able to run this in either May or June.

New kits have been designed to reduce the amount of SKU's, and maximize compatibility.

NEW KITS!

Thats hot! Monoprofile sets have so many options for which legends go where that kits like that actually work great (compared to sloped profiles where the creator has to guess what legends are needed, and where they go).

Update!

As the tin, I'm really sorry to say I'm having to put this project on hold. Currently I'm a full time student, and in my junior year, which as far as the degree program I'm in means a lot more is going on than I'm comfortable dealing with while trying to attempt to set up a group buy. If anyone wants to talk to me about changes that they'd like to see made, or about possible vendor things, I'd be open to it, but there won't be anything going forward until after April at the latest.

Thanks

I see three keys that would be nice to have: a 1u Fn, a second 2.25u Shift for 66-key layouts, and a 2u spacebar for Alice and various other boards. The second 1.25u Fn key you could either remove or change to 1.5u. It would be nice to see 4-key ISO coverage as well, but I'm not sure if that's one of your goals for this set.

What's 4-key ISO? I know I've got uk-iso in the numpad kit but unsure about that one.
Everything else you said has been fixed though ( just nuked the second 1.25u fn )

Oh I missed that. Yeah, having ISO-UK in the numpad kit is fine. 4-key ISO is neutral ISO compat that aims to physically cover ISO layouts without necessarily caring about legend correctness. As such it is convenient for inclusion into base kits due to the low number of extra keys needed (just 4).

That means supporting the English (USA) national layout over ISO in the base kit (usually shortened to "US ISO"). To this effect, you may add to the base kit the following keys: 1.25U Shift key, vertical ("ISO") Enter key, 1U \| and either a second \| key ("PC style") or a <> key ("terminal style"). The "UK ISO" support can then be kept apart, with three fewer keys.

Yeah, but in this case I think sticking with ISO-UK in the numpad kit is the way to go.

Indeed. In this case, given that DSA is a flat profile, adding a single <> key to the numpad kit would be enough.

Please consider adding a homing kit to support alternative layouts. Cancel it if it doesn't reach MOQ.

If you're changing the profile, you can edit the first post's title to reflect it (so when it appears on the "recent" page, it's more accurate).
