IC FORM (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyzxr9DdMmCITXvi9_BWYz1AsN6W9CU9sUoUQIjgj9gQadnA/viewform?usp=header)    DISCORD (https://discord.gg/zSMZUKjYaw)



Hello!

This is YoonELEC, and with permission from Gupgup, who ran R2,
I’m excited to announce the third round of DCS Cream Cheese and Green.
I’m sure there are people who have been waiting for this set—it’s great to meet you all!

Before I got into custom keyboards, I first came across this colorway through the FILCO Majestouch Convertible 2.
Later, when I started exploring the custom keyboard hobby, I discovered this keycap set and had always admired it.
Unfortunately, since it was released so long ago, it was nearly impossible to find one in good condition.

That’s when I had the idea—why not run a third round myself and finally get a brand-new set into my own hands?

For this Round 3, I’ve simplified the kit composition while still doing my best to maintain compatibility
with the wide variety of keyboard layouts available on the market.

I also added red accent keycaps this time—I thought they paired really well with the set!

Please share your feedback through the IC form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyzxr9DdMmCITXvi9_BWYz1AsN6W9CU9sUoUQIjgj9gQadnA/viewform?usp=header) and on my Discord (https://discord.gg/zSMZUKjYaw) channel!

Let’s work together to bring this beautiful keycap set back into the world.

Could it be replaced with an R4 Fn keycap?
My goal is to keep the base kit as simple and minimal as possible.

Cry about it :D I wanted UK support for years and nobody ever did even though it was only 6 extra keys
We had to buy whole norde kits just for 6 caps, so I don't know what the problem is.. it's not like you're going without

Just a heads up, your renders show concave minibars - SP has convex molds for all bars smaller than 6u now, too. And I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but your 1.25u, 1.5u and 1.75u bars in the 40s kit are useless if you don't include another set of 1.25 / 1.5 /1.75. Boards use them in pairs.

Thank you so much for letting me know! I’ll make sure to adjust that when I revise the kit layout based on the IC results later.

I love the pursed Caps Lock keys. And I'm always glad to see UK ISO offered. I'd like to see at least terminal ISO (ISO Enter, 1.25u shift, less/greater and R3 pipeslash) in the base, so if the UK kit didn't meet MOQ, there'd at least be physical coverage available for ISO boards. And for folks who needed UK keys, the UK kit would be a little smaller/cheaper.

Another suggestion would be that you could force accents for the Esc and Enter keys in the 40s kit to reduce its size - forced 40s accents are pretty common.

For the 40s kitting, the 1.75u R4 Lock key is rarely used anymore, and could be cut; most recent 40s kits omit it. In its place, a R2 1.25u Backspace key would be handy, as would be a 1.5u Shift, since there aren't any of those included. And as someone else mentioned, 2x of each spacebar size in the 40s, since they're used in pairs.

Someone's already mentioned that all DCS bars are convex now. I think that's everything that stands out to me - looks good! GLWIC!

Renders so good I had to comment just for that, who did them? This attention to detail inspires confidense IMO.

Any chance there will be a 10MOQ monomods option?
