There is a thread about this already. I can't remember where or what it's called. I asked there whether they were DSA or DCS, but don't think I got an answer.

Yep. And now I see my mistake in reading what I thought I read, versus what I thought I saw in the pictures.

even reading the massdrop page it isnt clear on whether it is DCS or DSA.

We should figure this out. The MassDrop ends in ~2 days.

This could be an insanely cheap method of getting some PBT sphericals.

I'm pretty sure they're DCS. I modified my post in that other thread, but I was reading cylindrical and thinking spherical while I was looking at those pictures. But DCS is cylindrical.

Well, firstly, you wouldn't have a spacebar, but I think you could get one directly from SP. Secondly, I'm fairly certain all the spacing on the ErgoDox is 1.75x or less, to eliminate the need of stabilizers, so no shift keys or enter or backspace.
