DCS Grass Valley
Keycap set inspired by media / film editing keyboards from the '80s and '90s.

Originally planned as a small group buy in my Discord, it gained a bit more interest than I initially expected! Group Buy is scheduled for early May with vendors listed below, and figured I should post a thread here as well!

Haven't been so enthused by a new set in a long time. This looks fantastic!

Be kind, add 1.25 R3 tab. This would be really cool for 40% builds

Nice set! Can you also post the original grass valley keyboard(s) that were used for inspiration?

It should be in the IC for clarity's sake but I believe this is the direct inspiration

Yes, that's the one that started it all. With some liberties with the numpad. Added to the main post.

Thank you!

Thanks to Niuniu for the model of the HX40, I had a look at what could be done with just the base kit:
