Title: Deep Space (finally done)
Post by: GenKaan on Sun, 12 April 2015, 07:40:30
After not getting the "core" set I finally managed to finalize the layout.

Not 100% sold on ABS yet but they look so nice I feel like mixing in PBT caps isnt an option. Ended up being a little more expensive than I expected but its kinda more than a set since you can mix and match some. Not happy with the non ISO print, or the fact you cant get correctly printed. But not getting a left shift that works was the worst. Cant even get a 1.25 unit cap thats printed with "shift", annoying stuff but I guess that wont be an issue for everyone

As far as the set goes, overlooking the issues I have with the set its a super clean set. DSA looks a lot more different than it feels from OEM (Ducky stock?)

Very cool gif gen and the board looks great. From what you mentioned it seems like it was a pain to get everything you needed but from the looks of it it paid off! Congrats  :thumb: looking very good.

I also received the deep space set recently, the purple ones are extremely unreadable, yet the alphas are surprisingly pretty, the purple on blues are slightly better (polaris's)

Of course, if the lighting in your room is at extreme levels, the deep space would shine (a star trek style illuminator would serve this set good, the kind that illuminates the starship codes)

I bought the adapter kit for the 1u \| '~ and the 1.5u backspace, for the infinitykb, now I'm craving the 1.5 polaris backspace from the ergodox set, but obviously 43$ for one keycap isn't just, should probably start a classifieds thread for edge needs like these

Beautiful gif by the way, very beautiful

Thanks man. Took some time and next time Im making one its going to be a lot faster. Damn it took hours :p

I love the look of the set but I do miss my PBT caps. Have em at work as well, but the prints are just beautiful! The DSA layout looks awesome as well, proabably going to pick up a blank PBT set in the future.
