Title: new dsa quartz
Post by: phosphoric on Mon, 23 November 2015, 16:58:07
i just got my new dsa quartz set in the mail and swapped out the caps on my pok3r. jesus christ these caps were expensive. and while they do look good, i don't think dsa profile is my favorite. it's the furthest thing from ergonomic. i'm glad it came with fn and pn buttons, though, and roboto is my favorite font, so i can't complain too much - anybody else have thoughts on dsa profile and sp caps in general?

Wow, pretty expensive. I would only pay those prices for a GB set like Granite...

I liked it for a while for the "low-profile" look, but I am over it now. I prefer Cherry profile, looks better and feels better to type on IMO

i feel like a keyboard enthusiast isn't a keyboard enthusiast until he owns a set of dsa/sa caps along with oem and cherry haha

And has at least 2 spare keycap sets for each keyboard.

i've ordered quartz over a month ago and according to the tracking site it's still in transit :/

oh well, it was meant for my planck build and since i wont get the case before january i guess it doesn't really matter.

I Type on DSA 100% of the time and when i change to anything else it feels so weird. Trying OEM at home right now. Going to give it a while to see if I can get used to it or not. Maybe I just Love my Granite Set to much?

Order a JTK Coke Set, so I need to get used something similar to Cherry.

yeah i got used to my dsa set already after two days of using my pok3r equipped with dsa quartz exclusively for three days. oem/cherry profile are still best, but dsa isn't too terrible to use.
