Hi,

This is an interest check for an alpha keycap set inspired by Scrabble Tile. None of the details have been finalised, I am open to suggestions.
 
This will be a dye-sub keycap set, produced by Signature Plastics. The profile will either be DSA or SA.

The production lead time will be approximately 12 weeks. I will add the pricing as soon as possible.

The MOQ will be 50 units.

I'd be in for a set of SA profile alphas  :p

SA R3 or DSA would be most appropriate for shuffling them around.  I'd say that if you do DSA you should do PBT to cut down on the queue.

Thank you for the support! Which row configuration would you prefer?

I thought all dye-sub keycaps produced by Signature Plastics are always PBT, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you for the feedback!

Cool idea! DSA or R3 SA would be preferred for me (I assume this would be dye sub). This would be a nice novelty keyset.

Interesting concept, but I would think the default SP profile to go to first for a scrabble based set would be G20, it is square and looks like a tile already.  Have them make them in TT (a beige/tan PBT color), and then you could for the most part have simulated tiles.  You could even divide the large mods, which should be green, with black lines like the empty spaces on a scrabble board.

Another user has also suggested R3 SA, so I will definitely consider it! The keycap set would be dye-sub. Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for the suggestion and feedback! I would prefer to stick to DSA/SA at the moment, and I am a bit hesitant about making and entire set. If there is a large demand for and entire set, including add-on kits, then I will consider designing it.

At the very least, DSA will do too.

I think because scrabble design is 'too plain' to start of, only the additional number point to indicate that it is a scrabble, we need a bolder design here.

Ivory base with dark green letters and this particular font type and size will do the job
