DSS is a keycap profile created by Signature Plastics, a well-known manufacturer of custom keycaps. |
The DSS profile features a spherical shape with a slightly concave top, providing a comfortable and ergonomic typing experience. The keycaps are sculpted, meaning that they have different shapes and sizes depending on their position on the keyboard. This allows for a more natural and efficient typing experience. |
Overall, the DSS keycap profile offers a high-quality, visually appealing, and comfortable option for those looking to customize their mechanical keyboard. |
Signature Plastics does not currently have convex DSS spacebar molds, so the small bars will all be produced in the DSA profile. |

Everyone in the 40s server for all the help and hype throughout the process of putting this together. |
What's the MOQ on this?
I assume the spacebars of DSS are of the same profile of those in DSA, correct?
Just put in order for Colemak base kit and green accents. Hope the GB is a success!
There seems to be a lot going on right now in terms of GBs. Personally, I was holding out until Aug 1 to buy in, as I suspect some others were as well. I was really looking forward to the colevrak kit. The way it was designed was very cost effective for us colevrak users. Hoping to see it back in some form when DSS WoB returns.

Actually, that's a full-alpha Colemak+ kit, but it won't cover Dvorak, which is one of the most popular alternative layouts. It's an efficient stand-alone kit for Colemak, Colemak DH, Colemak DHm, Workman, Norman, QWPR, and Asset.
QWERTY Alphas combined with Colevrak+ Add-on would cover everything above plus Dvorak, QGMLWY, and Wide Mod. And of course, QWERTY, which would come in handy for re-sale if that's something you might do down the road.
