Yuck. This is super gross.

Just kidding. It's nice. I've seen it before.

SP don't do SA PBT double shot, so I guess this one is abs, right?

For real? Thank you, how about dye-sublimated (http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-sublimated-keycap-sets/)? If not I could switch to the ABS palette. I'm really new to all of this :-[

Sorry, ABS is only option for SA profile now, SP do not do SA PBT dye sub and even they do there is also no way to dye sub white on black. Dye sub require dark color on light color, black on white for example.

They don't do PBT SA yet. Or, rather, they have but it was a very limited run. I know there are people right now trying to get them done, but it's a work in progress.
If you really want to go with SA, your only option is doubleshot ABS.

Fair enough, I'll make the adjustments. Man, I was really pulling for dye-sub on this one. I'll update with a proper render, thanks again for the help

Added a 3D render, and changed the title of the thread from SA High Contrast to DSA High Contrast. I bet that is a common rookie mistake, I definitely wont make that mistake again. (http://i.imgur.com/3zm1R07.gif)

I just do not have the experience necessary to know if SP does DSA dye-sub group buys so I will leave it as double shot abs for now.

If there is an interest I can take notes and make alternate modifiers/layouts etc. I like this keyset design, but I also like a lot of strange things.

SP can do dyesub PBT DSA and DCS, but you can't dyesub a light colour onto a dark base, so your only option is doubleshot ABS for these colours, but that also means you can use any of the three profiles, SA, DSA or DCS. the choice is yours :)

A lot of people (myself included) don't like typing on DSA profile and many don't like how thin DCS is and the sharp angle of the bottom two rows, so if you're looking for a larger number of sets sold, then SA is the best option if you go with SP. Otherwise there's GMK who are now accepting more community group buys, but they have a very limited set of ABS colours to choose from and a high MoQ (see pic), whereas SP have a nice huge selection. Also less open to doing custom legends than SP.

This has all just reminded me to get my stuff together and post the articles I've been preparing which explains all this stuff for prospective new designers... It's not fair to expect new people to simply know all this.

Aha, ABS it is then. SA would be my first choice, I have a model downloaded and ready for tweaking. I guess I'll hold off on the SA renders for now and see if the High Contrast set gains any momentum. Cheers (http://i.imgur.com/ZGHJ6Bj.gif)

Do you not like the feel of DSA? Is it too flat compared to SA? And what's the real difference between ABS and PBT? I've had ABS Caps before and they just seem so thin and light
