Title: [IC] DSA Medic
Post by: JorisBoers on Thu, 25 August 2016, 17:45:32: Hello there,

Me and my friend Gajible have been working on an new keyset design idea and feel confident to move forward with the idea into a IC.

DSA Medic is an DSA keyset which would get produced by SP (Signature Plastics) and is inspired by DSA Valentine and /u/Hypocaffeinic's post (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/4xx756/keyboard_art_the_clinically_correctish_ecg_on_the/)

From there we were going with the White and Red color scheme as that is in our eyes a pretty common colorway for medical institutions.

Hope to get some feedback, thank you for reading and have a great day!

Edit:

Already dun goofed this one;

Color codes:

- Red is RA
- Grey is GSP
- White is WFK

I like these renders a lot more than the others. The red mods look great on this

Post by: Vigrith on Sun, 28 August 2016, 12:15:02: I find the concept to be very interesting, even though it's not for me, my wife is a microbiologist whose favourite video game is Theme Hospital so I'd definitely be buying one of these for her if they come to be. My personal favourite is the grey mods/white alphas with the red legends - looks subtle whilst still remaining interesting and relevant to the main theme of the set. The red mods/white alphas looks good too, much more vibrant. Not big on the heart rate ECG but it is a cool idea.

Alternatively, my personal favourite would be the grey mods/white alphas and red legends and then some sort of child kit with red accents - akin to how those are handled on the Miami Dolch set for example.

Best of luck with the set!

That's the plan! The mockups that are up are just to show the designs and the intended keys. All of those will be x2, minus the 'Esc' and 'Enter' of course.

Post by: B1G_B1RD on Tue, 06 September 2016, 14:29:10: I like the overall color scheme. I dont see to many red keysets floating around. The ECG set is a bit too literal for my tastes but i might be in just for the base sets.
