any word yet?

any word yet?

Nothing yet good sir

There may be a few sets in front (that have quiet a few more votes).

Unfortunately we may need more votes, or simply wait out turn.

Looks great, voted. Any chance we might see a kit with modifier keys in a different color?

Check in with the MassDrop folks on that.  I believe Yanbo's been pretty active here and might be able to get you more info on that.

You mean something different to the 'Alternate Modifiers Kit'?

Thanks mate, I've dropped him a PM here on GH.

Yes. Like modifiers in another keycap color. Ctrl, shift etc in VBV or RDA maybe.

Outside of the alternate modifiers kit, nit at this stage.

Any chance for a kit that would support the ultimate hacking keyboard?

The layout looks like this:

Certainly an interesting layout.

Would you be able to make that set up with the existing offering? if not what is missing?

It wouldn't be feasible to have a separate buy for just this layout as it wouldn't be as popular as some of the others, however if we can throw a few more keys into the other (already existing) kits then it's a possibility.

Right shift and control do not look the same width in the picture, as the layout size states. By the way, do you really have one of this, or you are waiting one to be delivered?

Both pictures are from their official site, I have no idea why it looks different.
I don't have it yet, it's gonna ship in September, I'm exploring options

The set is awesome, so I'm planning on buying it either way if it comes to that, uhk keys would be the cherry on top

As for the special keys: 1.5 backspace, 2.25 ctrl, an additional 2.25 shift, and a bunch of 1.75's for space/enter/mod (smash would be lovely). 

[Brewi]

This is one of the nicest looking designs I've ever seen in a keycap set, seriously hope it goes through to production. Homage to a great game as well. Here's to hoping it gets enough votes :-)

Thanks for the list, when we get this party started I'll see if we can do an addition to one of the packs.

Thank you good sir! I'm hoping we get slotted into the Massdrop queue soon

It may well be a while before this one runs on MD.  At least judging from the Dasher/Dancer thread, they were slated on MD later in 2016.  Curious to see where this one falls.

Yeah I hear you, I personally would love to see buys run in terms of profile differences in the sets, for example; SA one month then DSA then GMK Cherry etc. Obviously this method is flawed as there are not that many sets with varying profiles, buy hey, it's a bit of variety.

DSA does seem to have gained some ground this year.  We had a huge round of Granite, then Hana, and now this.  There's at least one or two other DSA sets I recall popping up recently as well.  GMK ends up tricky on regular rotation given the MoQ requirements and limited color palette.

Here's to hoping JTK can eventually step up capacity to handle a larger workload.  Then we just need matt3o to come through with those hi-profile caps he's been working on.

Definitely interested! I love this game, just started playing it again for the jillionth time. 

The only thing I would change is the font.... Not sure if that's been set in stone after the MD IC.

If it's SignaturePlastics, could the Isotherm Line font be used? It has a sorta futuristic look to it, I think it would look shweeeeeet on this set
like this: http://i.imgur.com/AJeWR.png

Either way, nice job Glenmael!

[dunglefinker]

Voted, the world needs more DSA sets!

[Duongasaur]

Would this only be available in 1 keyboard size?
My keyboards bottom row are 6.0 and 6.25

hehe thanks mate, it's a cracker of a game. I always gravitate back to Earthbound and other such AMAZING SNES RPGs, would love to just list them all (don't tempt me).

the font selection is quite strict (I believe) but certainly can confirm once we get this set rolling (from a 'have a set date on MassDrop' point of view).

thanks for the awesome feedback

You are a star

Check the front page 'alternate layout kit' should be accommodating.

[Beca]

An Earthbound-themed set?! Probably the only kit I've seen recently that I actually want.

Maybe we can get a Mother 3 kit soon after this one drops

That was the plan

[NiceDay4Goats]

This is pretty much my dream set. Any chance of getting a second left shift in the alternate layouts kit for us fc660m owners?

[Vadurr]

Voted!

[Niomosy]

By chance, has MassDrop said anything about timeline just yet?

They have said that I'm in the queue, not much else aside from that. Was hoping for a more concrete date/time/answer to report back but I'm afraid that's all I've been given.

Will ask for another update

Thank you for all the support.

[vincentalpha]

I was hesitating with DSA Navy and didn't click the BUY botton. But I am sure I will with this set.
However, please make the modifier more visible.
Thanks.

Cheers for the feedback, the colors look 'washed' in the mockups.

Take a look at the actual color chips and you will see that the modifiers are certainly vibrant

In queue is a good start.  They've been reluctant on giving out timelines at the moment so I'm not too surprised at no date estimates yet.  At least them acknowledging that the buy is on the list is something.  Now the waiting game begins.

[forevermadrigal]

Any news on this? Or did it drop already?

[sitase]

Prefer DSA. Make sure to make blank alphas available.

Hasn't dropped yet.  Honestly, sets have been dealing with some long waits with MassDrop at times for whatever reason.  It's more just waiting to see when it runs if it is indeed in the MassDrop queue as has been indicated.  Hell, Dasher/Dancer had the MD submission done back in.... March or April?  It's supposed to run in December.  We'll have to see how this one goes.

Couldnt you just buy the blanks though?

PMK doesn't have them in all colours. So there is a need to make sure they're available, one way or the other.

I was starting to think there were too many sets with blue colourways being produced but I just can't stop coming back to look at the renders on this page. Although I generally prefer green I'm hypnotised by this theme - it just seems to glow I was going to wait for Nuclear Data to run again, but I'll need something to hold me over especially given that SA production queue.

Although I generally prefer green I'm hypnotised by this theme - it just seems to glow I was going to wait for Nuclear Data to run again, but I'm thinking a shorter profile might be more for me, plus I'm not keen to join that SA production queue.

I was wondering though, is there any chance of including a grey/purple F5-F8 in the Alternate Modifiers Kit so that the colour stripe could swing either way? I'm looking to deck out an Access-IS 15x8 matrix with 1x1 keys, and at  the moment it's looking like I won't be using any grey/purple keys unless F5-F8 are offered in grey/purple. I could probably live without the grey mods, but something about the dullness of them really seems to make the alphas pop

I have to imagine this one has run it's course. GBs can take forever but this one has been going on for 18 months now with no traction and it's pretty much lost all momentum at this point. I don't even buy SA sets but I've been holding out on this one forever, such a shame.

[Glenmael]

Sorry for not responding in so long, this is still certainly on my priorities list.

I've reached out to the MassDrop team twice now without any luck - I'm trying again now

Great to hear! Love the look of the set
