Could we please please do this in DCS?  Pretty please with stepped capslock on top?

[Matt3o]

ABS-DCS is sooo boring. this should be SA

I have a PBT-DCS in the oven though

This should definitely be SA, the X-Wing being from the 70s needs the retro look 

[ideus]

SA+PBT+Specialty keys+cool icons+neutral colors = Success!

YES the people want SA and NO OTHER Profile  . 

Going against the will of the people can lead to the downfall of any Community or Nation, please listen to the vast majority that want the SA Profile.

[Data]

I like DSA too.

When you will make a "Star Trek" set?
Long life and prosper...

I believe it's "live long and prosper"

And there already was a Star Trek set with the Galaxy Class keyset.

[Elrick]

You mean the Next Generation Crew, which has nothing to do with the all time Greats from 1966-69  .

Any news on this?

Is SA PBT even possible? Have there been any sets made this way?

[Matt3o]

no, it's not possible at the moment.

[mogo]

Doubleshot PBT is very rare because PBT is a very stiff material to work with and it shrinks a lot more than ABS as it sets, making inset doubleshot layers extremely difficult to get right without gapping or cracking.

And I'd be fine with either SA or DSA for this set, either would serve the retro-ness of the X-Wing well.

Still hoping for  this, make it happen Matt3o!

This IC turned into the skull squadron set, but I am not sure.

[motherbrain]

this is such a great idea--i played the crap out of xwing fighter back in 1993.  what a great series.

cockpit view xwing vs star destroyer lol:


i agree that a imperial tie fighter design would have to be made as a follow-up.

[Elrick]

God-forbid NO  .

This HAS to be attributed to STAR WARS X-Wing Starfighter because it was my very first decent star fighter developed in my early teens.

Matt has to get these made soon AFTER the Retro set is cleared because I shall get at least 4 complete sets of these if Matt's design hand has been over these babies  .

[JaccoW]

As far as I remember they were never turned into each other. He just delayed them because you don't want too many sets going at once.

SA fanboy here, unsurprisingly saying this looks cool, and SA please!

YES, SA's are strictly for the Zealots of Key Collecting  .  Mark me as their Number ONE mavispoo of SA Profiled Key-caps.

[TheOpposition]

Please consider that this is just a draft, of course I need to make a full keyboard yet, but I'd like your feedback regarding an X-wing inspired keycaps set.

Something like this

some of the keys (eg: ENTER) might be even in Aurebesh.

I'd be interested in when this becomes available.  Nice design.

[fliptrik]

I'd also definitely be interested in picking this up if it ever came to fruition.

Suspect this key-set will get MORE popular when the next Star Wars film installment is released.  Then you'll have everyone fighting to get these babies installed into their next keyboard  .

[derezzed]

Maybe there's an artisan willing to make an astromech escape key for this set?

I stuck a Lego piece on my keyboard to give an example.

WHOOP.

Don't care if they call me the necromancer. Gonna revive this thread because I love Star Wars. This may be the end-game keyset for me, tbh. And a sweet BB-8 (or R2) artisan? Color me orange.

Please don't let this die. I know you're hard at work at other keysets, Matt3o, and with the Topre set taken after Skull Squadron, hopefully this is in the back of your mind.

[Jokrik]

May the force be with this set...

The official answer has been a repetitive no. Have a look at the classifieds and at the DT's marketplace.

“I find your lack of faith disturbing, young Jokrik” 

This key-set is strong with the Force, Master Matt3o has been preparing us for it's unveiling and we all shall glimpse the true Power of the Dark Side  .

That was my understanding too. I had thought for a moment that it may be reborn by jumping on the SA bandwagon. I can wait until people burn out on that profile and worship it like it's any better than cherry or oem.

You may be aware that there was a DCS version; under the same logic, it may be a version in SA, as you think.

Oh yes of seen it in pictures, beautiful set no matter the profile.

Hopefully this one too comes to light.

Well, everything is on Matt, but speculation happens.

I'm not running any more SA profile GBs until SP fix their tooling.

Hey, if its too much risk with Star Wars themed, change the theme idea to Wing Commander.  Oldie, but nearly the same as far as the colorway goes???
