Key Details
DSS 99˘ is a 40s-oriented keyset, with one robust kit to support a huge variety of 40s and 30s layouts. To accompany the base kit, we've partnered with Pseudoku/Asymplex to offer convex DXX minibars (designed to emulate a convex version of DSS R3) in sizes from 1u to 3u, as well as DSS ISO Enter. The Asymplex keys are available in two styles: opaque and artisan.
