Hello, big noob here!
« on: Thu, 03 December 2015, 07:27:02 »
Hi,

just wanted to introduce myself, found this site from the /r/mechmarket subreddit, seems to be a really great place.

I'm here to educate myself and I'm looking for a SA ou DSA keyset.

Cheers!

Welcome!

bcred is right about PMK having DSA sets for sale but there are also a few SA sets for sale up on there like Modern Selectric

Welcome!

Don't bother. Cherry profile is best profile  :p

If you must get DSA I'd wait for Granite to re-run, which should happen early next year.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Which mechanical keyboard have you got for those key sets?  Which switches?

Just a hint - if you're looking for an SA set, they work much better with heavier switches like blacks, greens or clears.  There is just too much plastic in SA keycaps for lighter switches.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
