No, I've modernized the `Back Space` legend and f-row in this run as well.
My goal for this set was not to create a clone of the original set and I am not personally a fan how out of place that legend looks.

If the market was different both legends would have been considered but that was not viable with this minimal kitting. :thumb:

feels very fast given that there are number of DCS sets that have been in the queue longer but i'll take it

confirmed with jae -- that is the phrase they use straight after the GB ends until the manu completes the order
this is still in the queue; will update the thread when it is in production

Extras available at ThocKeys now. (https://thockeys.com/keycaps/dcs-soware-revival-extras/) Still waiting on deskmats, unfortunately the order for those was super delayed but they are still coming.

Hope everyone that has gotten their sets got what they were expecting! :thumb:

when can we expect desk mats to be fulfilled?

Title: Re: [GB] DCS SOWARE Revival - MOQ Reached
Post by: dcsenjoyer on Wed, 28 February 2024, 10:27:20

I paid only the base kit during the groupbuy(Thockeys), but my order still hasn't been fulfilled.
I’ve already asked twice when my order would be fulfilled but there hasn’t been any reply yet.
Then I saw Thockeys selling extras. ?

edit: I just got my reply. Thockeys said "there was an issue where some of the soware orders didn't get auto updated" I have my tracking number now.
