Title: [IC] DCS After-school 1992 - 40s Monokit
Post by: nebulazy on Mon, 13 October 2025, 19:19:27

DCS After-School 1992
Nu Skool 40s Kit
Norbauer's fun, '90s themed colorway returns!
This time, in Signature Plastics' classic profile

QAZ by Whydobearsxplod

The Deets:
Rerun of classic colorway with blessings from Norbauer & Co.
Permission was given to run a 40s kit only, due to the original (and any possible forthcoming) kit not having support for smaller layouts. (Sorry my normie friends.:'()
Kit includes QAZ support with the new modifiers commissioned by Keyboard Arcade!
After some input from the 40s community, the decision was made to switch from DSS to DCS for this run.
Kitting should fit most 40% keyboards, however some decisions were made to get the cost down.
There is a small issue with pink on yellow text bleeding slightly, but it is hardly noticeable, just something to be aware of.

TL;DR (for blacksimon)
After-School. DCS. 40s Only. QAZ.

Vendors:
CN = TypistClub
USA = Saber Keebs
EU = KeebSupply
remaining areas still TBD

Base Kit - USD $140 @ 75 MOQ

It's amazing. Congratulations making it to IC nebulazy!! Getting a dedicated 40s kit for this set, in DCS Gorton no less, is a real blessing. And QAZ too?! Maybe this can convince me to start learning to use it again.

would be 100% in on this if I could use it on a keyboard

You only need to be 40% in on this and it literally can be used on a keyboard. ;D

it is a bummer that i couldn't add more compat, but maybe the community can start hinting at norb that there is an interest in an official DCS run

unfortunately, there wasn't a ton of interest on the original ICs. maybe i can work something out with sneakbox, since they are carrying DCS convex mini bar sets. some more common SP stock colors available would be amazing!

i was also thinking about possible BAE collab and LAE with saber keebs
