Title: [IC] DCS LED Keys - Looking for vendors!
Post by: mul7i on Wed, 09 July 2025, 01:51:32
Hello everyone, welcome to DCS LED Keys.
(https://i.imgur.com/IsknstH.png)

I'm mul7i/tom, and I really want LED keys for DCS sets.
IC FORM (https://forms.gle/jdoLuDgm8k9zNkC86)  DISCORD (https://discord.gg/AEUS3jtZzu)
I basically asked Signature Plastics if I could run a 4 key extension kit and they said yes.
I am planning to run for some of the recent sets.

Each colorway can be purchased separately, so nobody has to be stuck with keys they don't want/need.
The colors are FIXED, adding extra colors will change the pricing by quite a bit, and will most probably be a logistical nightmare for everyone.

Pricing:
TBA

Vendors:
US - TBA
UK - TBA
EU - KeebSupply
OCE - TBA
KOR - GEONWORKS
SEA/SG - PantheonKeys
SEA/MY - Rebult Keyboards


Colors will be:

1. Beige, GAW - NN
2. White on Black, NN - WFK
3. Red Alert, WFK - RA (Lam Alert run)
4. Lam Alert, WW - RA
5. SMRT, GTD - BBI

Updates
9/7/2025 - confirmed quotations from SP, looking for vendors

Special thanks to:
Laminar, Piperaceae and Manu for letting me run extension kits for their sets.
Signature Plastics for agreeing to run this tiny kit.
PantheonKeys for helping with sourcing vendors.

At first I didn't think I would want these, but was going to be supportive. But they I saw the add on for the eyes set and that instantly flipped to need.

Thank you for matching these to SMRT! This was something I wanted to include but couldn't get into the final kitting, so I'm glad to see the chance for it to happen now.

I'd be down for all of them other than Lam Alert (I went with Red Alert in that GB) if this runs! GL with it OP!

You might want to add a BoW kit, since it tends to be more popular than WoB in GBs that offer both.

Oops, never mind. This was the preference in one Geekark and two KAT GBs, but I cannot find a DCS BoW GB on record.

Thank you all for the positive replies so far!

ONE PROBLEM HOWEVER: I MADE A MISTAKE ON THE LAM/RED ALERT KITTINGS
IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS INSTEAD  :-[ :-[ :-[
I'm back in contact with Signature Plastics for this error and I hope there won't be too drastic of a change in price.
NO PRICE CHANGE

Now to answer these:

I'm running these based on the recent sets that was being run over the past 6-ish months
Adding more colors mean the additional colors will be priced very differently according to their own order quantity.
It would be the same as having separate runs entirely for those specific colors.

Understandable. Also, my suggestion doesn't apply to DCS since there hasn't been a DCS BoW GB. At least, not one logged in KeycapLendar. (https://keycaplendar.firebaseapp.com/previous)

Sorry for the bad advice, and good luck with the IC!
