				YES!!!!

				I love it but no yellow enter is a big miss for me, + concerned about pricing with so many colors also

				I also wanted mono yellow, papaya. Maybe it can be in extension or something. I mean, dcs pricing in effect.
Does anyone here plan on using these keys w an ANSI layout?

				lol
this deskmat keycap combo gives me “DCS Piss in the Pool” vibes
is this set going to use new convex short spacebar molds?
			 
			
			- 
				Love the theme.  Not the biggest fan of the two tone yellow here
Did you try a light or medium gray for the mods?  Seems like it would still look sporty, vintage, and industrial.
Best of luck, sir  :thumb:

I second this.

I hope Fredington thinks on this.  Even a single color of yellow would be an improvement IMO.  I love fun sets like this, and I really want to buy it.  I adore my DCS Turtle Power caps.  This is just as radical.

Mono yellow is a possibility, perhaps with the accents moved into their own kit.
However, yellow alphas and gray mods was the first color combination I tried, and I was not a fan. More importantly, it takes away the opportunity for the blue SPORTS on a yellow background novelty, which I feel is central to this set's identity.

				If you go mono yellow base, does that number of colors in the accent/extension kit run the price up on a low MOQ kit?

				Excited to see the set up for preorder already!   I’m glad you went with mono yellow. It’s stunning 🤩

The presale is indeed live over on SPKeyboards.com (https://spkeyboards.com/products/dcs-sport-walker). The deskmat should be live soon and there may even be a metal artisan.
The main changes have been moving to mono yellow (YCU) and lightening up the dark gray a bit (GVB).
