Why?
Pink alert, but not quite =)
Originally wanted to run this keyset as a basic TKL base to support a board I was running, but people seem to want this.
Pricing we received has been nice from DCS, so wanted to extend it a bit to support more boards!


Kitting
Includes beige base, alert row, basic 65% support, basic alice support, basic HHKB support.
Excluded 40s/6.25u/numpad/UK ISO to make it fit as many people as possible, but keeping prices low.
Also forced windowed keys.

Only thing that could make this better would be a beige mod kit

Not the most diplomatic, but the lack of 1.25u Control, Alt, and Supers is not good. On the plus side, pink is nice.

So it’s made in USA, shipped to you, then I’d pay 125$ +25 to ship plus the tariff to ship back to me in the USA?

W a US vendor so it didn’t leave the country, I’d be in.

That's a good point, I'll look into it, but would you still pay tariffs if it was a US-made product?

GLWIC.... One thing, can you do complete Escape legend on DCS like you can on SA? If so, that might be a cool change, as you chose the verbose modifiers everywhere else.

As a 7u enjoyer, no problem with the kitting, but some ANSI users might feel left out with no modifiers.

Also, why only 1 1.5u super and no mod tilde when you've worked to include a lot of HHKB stuff (6u space, dual 1u alts)?

I'll most likely add back the other 1.5u super, and there's already a mod tilde!  :thumb:

I don’t trust they’ll get that right anytime soon.

Added vendors as per feedback - would be easier than fulfilling myself. Most importantly, probably better idea to keep the US kits in US.

Are the minibars convex or concave?
