Unfortunately the only reason this kit exists is because SP applies a significant cost premium to these special shapes, which made the base kit too expensive.
The inclusion of three ISO enters didn't help either. If there was just one ISO enter it would be in the Base Kit.

Collaborations

SEAL 80: DOLCH EDITION

In partnership with Sensy.:cool:
We made a special version of the Seal 80 aptly named the Dolch Editon. We will conduct a more detailed IC for this later once prototypes are completed.
A separate GB will be conducted once everything is finalized, more information will be added soon. The purchase of a Base kit will qualify you for the purchase of the keyboard.

I accept the colour might be different IRL compared to the render, but the Gorton legends don't have much contrast on the alphas, might be worth doing some IRL photos when you have samples, or changing the legend colours to be brighter if you're set on using Gorton legends. Hope this does well!

Why?
I want to bring back this Classic colourway in DCS profile :)
DCS pricing is rough which is why the kit has been divided like this.
Layout supports 40s to big boy XT boards.


IC Form (https://forms.gle/avbx52Q7a4M9uPHz7)


Colours
Stock SP colours are used
Base Kit-
Alphas + spacebars -GE base WFK Font
Mods- GX WFK Font
Enters-
Accent Red-RA base WFK font
Accent Turquoise-VEM Base WFK font

Spacebars kit?
DCS small bars are concave and not fun to use so I'd rather not offer them to save costs.
The good news is GMK CC is close to SP GE. Dolch R5/GMK spacekeys will work.
PBTfans & Domikey Dolch bars should also work

Can anyone chime in and let me know how DCS compares to GMK texture and feel wise. Does it have some texture like GMK or is it smoother. I absolutely love me some Dolch and this set looks incredible. I usually buy GMK or Pbtfans as I like some texture on my keycaps.

DCS is way rougher than GMK, which I really like
