DCS UFO
Group buy: 2nd–15th February 2026. Now closed!
ETA: Q3 2026

Is there life out there?! Who knows! But with DCS UFO you can bring some extraterrestrial life straight to your keyboard...

Updates:
16th Feb 2026: The buy closed yesterday. UFO sold so well! Thank you everybody. My job this week will be to get our order placed with Signature Plastics, and UFO in the production queue!
13th Feb 2026: TypistClub have organised a free gift to thank buyers for their support: all alt alphas kits will be shipping with a bonus 2.25u shift, which adds more options for the second board build. We are following their lead to offer this globally.

F1-40 by Geon. The 40s colour fix is most worth it for 12u boards, but it improves minivans too.

What happened to the updated 10u spacebar renders?

I didn't want to include since Alt 10u has unfortunately not made it into the GB D:

Post by: basilkeys on Sun, 01 February 2026, 09:33:18: With just one day to go, we've added a new kit into the buy: Alt minibars minikit. It was a real shame to lose Alt minibars on the IC v2 and I hope with this kit we can offer a little coverage for those who really want it. The quantity is low on this and I will likely just buy out whatever is needed to meet the MOQ.
