ONE PROBLEM HOWEVER: I MADE A MISTAKE ON THE LAM/RED ALERT KITTINGS
IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS INSTEAD
I'm back in contact with Signature Plastics for this error and I hope there won't be too drastic of a change in price.
NO PRICE CHANGE
Now to answer these:
I'm running these based on the recent sets that was being run over the past 6-ish months
Adding more colors mean the additional colors will be priced very differently according to their own order quantity.
It would be the same as having separate runs entirely for those specific colors.

If you can do DCS Vert, I’d be eternally grateful 🙏
You might want to add a BoW kit, since it tends to be more popular than WoB in GBs that offer both.

Oops, never mind. This was the preference in one Geekark and two KAT GBs, but I cannot find a DCS BoW GB on record.

Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] DCS SMRT - Now shipping!
« Last post by Piperaceae on Wed, 09 July 2025, 11:58:04 »The last vendor to have stock of this has sold out, and SMRT is officially history now, one year to the week since the IC launched. But this isn't the end; I have plans for an eventual round 2 "remix" someday that reshuffles the four classic colors, plus a dye-sub Alps version sooner (it's 3rd in line behind a couple other designs in the pipeline).

In the interim, if you'd like matched shinethrough LED keys, this IC may interest you:

Apart from that, I am glad the bots and automation software is still noticeable. I have wondered how we will communicate if it ever gets to a point that we have a difficult time truly knowing what we are talking to. Will we need some form of certification authority which verifies that we are human beings in the real world, and that certificate is attached to all of our posts? But of curse someone could sell (or lose) their cert to someone else who in turn uses it in some software spamming tool.
In other words, at the extreme end with software that is perfectly indistinguishable from humans, we would need a whole infrastructure built around validating actual humans and their messages lest we just chat with bots 'til the end of time.
And that also comes with a ton of issues, including one of privacy and anonymity. How can we continue to communicate anonymously online if we have to have some sort of an equivalent of a notary public giving a stamp of approval on our huamanness?
Anyway, lucky thing we're not there yet.

« Last post by lecorsair on Wed, 09 July 2025, 10:44:58 »This ages poorly. It's July now...Is there any update on the group buy, guys?
Estimated ship time is around May now, according to their discord channel.
Definitely not a good look, and the gb runner being MIA for a bit there and making excuses does give off that vibe...but I will with hold my judgement for a slight bit more.

Making Stuff Together! / Re: Gerber Check please??
« Last post by dinobx on Wed, 09 July 2025, 10:09:13 »having a GND plane and nothing to drive it. But considering this is getting a controller board soldered to it, I figured that was acceptable.
by that are you saying that the GND plane is not actually grounded? Controller boards all have GND pins that you should connect to the GND plane. Otherwise if you wish for a review keep in mind that reviewing gerber files is more complicated because a lot of information especially the schematic is lost, whereas reviewing your source files is more straightforward. Maybe consider joining the keyboard atelier server and ask for a review there if you haven't already.

Amiga's logos were the rainbow checkmark and checkered boing ball, while the A is just a letter in ITC Garamond. Granted they used the font for their wordmark, but preventing someone from making a Garamond A would be problematic for anyone typing in that font.
