[GB] DCS Reaper - In Production

[Aiwanei]

DCS Reaper

Death Comes For Us All
DCS Reaper is a set inspired by Death AKA The Grim Reaper.  The Grim Reaper has had many representations in pop culture and literature, but one thing is clear, when Death comes for you, it means your time on this Earthly plane has run out.  I tried to capture the feeling of how Death is often portrayed, coming from the shadows, cloaked in a black cowl, only thing visible are his hands and face, carrying a scythe, knowing he has come to reap the souls.  To capture this feeling I have gone with a dark grey on black monocolored set but with a few bone white novelties (created by OneCreativeMind) that are a stark contrast to the black.  The set is once again in my personal favorite DCS profile and manufactured by Signature Plastics using their double shot abs molds.

I really am excited to share this with everyone now that it is finally in a place where I am happy with the colors and the kitting.  It uses 3 stock colors only, NN for the black, GTA for the grey and WCK for the bone white. 
Manufactured by Signature Plastics in Washington State using Doubleshot ABS in the DCS Profile with the Classic Modified Gorton Legends.

ArtisanLabs Wrist Rest Collaboration is now live at Artisan Labs Website: https://www.artisanlabsmk.com/product-page/gb-dcs-reaper-wristrest

Anyways, could anyone tell what big bar for? Which keyboard use that?

[finalarcadia]

Anyways, could anyone tell what big bar for? Which keyboard use that?

Any board that supports WKL layout could use it, if you want to let go of the 2 mods beside space bar

It's the go-to choice if you have something to compensate for.

Yeah any Tsangan bottom row board is supported.

Bought a set seems like this one is gonna be a classic one. One base set, novelty and a 10u Chad spacebar 

[XiXora]

Where is the white ISO key in the extension kit or the base?!

Bump bump, we gotta pump those numbers up!!

[Aiwanei]

Bump bump, we gotta pump those numbers up!!

Hopefully will see a bump at vendors update on Friday, that chart is missing a lot of the vendors numbers, only about 1/3 have reported numbers so far.

I'd say Base reaching just over 30% of MOQ on day 3 with only 1/3 of vendors reporting is a really good sign.

I didn't see any white iso in base or novelty. Not an issue for for me.

Well seeing how poorly DSS Light cycle did and still got saved by vendors. Vendors will probably buy out the rest with this set as well. I hope at least since, this set is clean and love the novelties.

It surprises me that only 12 people are getting the Alps base. It's a quite complete base set for Alps that I haven't seen in years indeed.

[Ghostinn]

Just bought my sets, this is probably the most excited I will ever be for anything keyboard related!

[ConfuseBill]

Hello.

For the Alphabet font size, are they going to be the same size like DCS Sleeper? Or, will they go larger?

And for the spacebar, is it going to have holes for 10u stabz like Geon W1-AT?

DCS Sleeper uses a Cherry lbased font, this set uses the Gorton font that is traditional to DCS so the font on the renders is what it will look like.

The 10u uses 7u stabs, so technically you can use it on the W1-AT since that supports 7u stabs but the bars and wire that come with the W1-AT that are 10u use 8u stab positioning. By using the 10u bar with 7u stabs, this will support any board with a Tsangan bottom row.

[milkham]

Does anyone know how well the dcs profile matches up with the gmk cherry? I'm considering getting the spacebars and novelties for use with my gmk WoB

What will happen for those kits that do not meet their MOQ for SP?
And if that is not going to be produced, how long does it usually take for the refund for us from vendors?

I’d say numbers are good, seeing as this group buy is not even half way thru.

I am going to do everything I can to make sure the Alps kit is made, even if it doesn't hit MOQ before extras (buying it out personally, working with the other vendors, etc.)  Have hope for the alps kit!

Good to hear that.

Are you located in EU? Because I am and I don't want to pay for the outside EU shipping if I don't have to.

I am up for splitting kits for those who are in EU.

[Tulesto]

I'm a little worried about the scythe artisan

I am from Germany so shipping should not be an issue. Sent you a message with my discord.

Thanks for running this. Awesome set.

Did novelties hit MOQ? I know that some vendors didn't have updated info and extras aren't included

[Aiwanei]

Did novelties hit MOQ? I know that some vendors didn't have updated info and extras aren't included

Yes, all kits except the Alps Base kit hit MOQ naturally or were within just a few kits of MOQ so will be bought out.  We don't have all the numbers in for all vendors still or extras, but I can confidently say that the Alps Base kit will also be made through vendor extras.  The only thing I'm not 100% sure about yet is the Hibi, but without all group buy sales and extras in yet, I can't be sure, and if MOQ is not reached I will reach out to Hibi to see if there is anything that can be done to lower the MOQ.

Edit: based on where numbers are with extras in so far, and some vendors still not in, I can confidently say all kits will be made.

Great to hear all kits will be made. Excellent news.
