Title: Where to buy DSA Keycaps
Post by: bleik on Sun, 09 April 2017, 23:43:28

sup guys! my Anne Pro RGB has been shipped and will be here within a few weeks. i'm willing to buy some DSA keycaps but i don't know where. i've a friend who bought his keycaps on pimpmykeyboard, but i've thought it was so expensive (he spent $100). i was wondering if you could help me out and give me some advice about some stores/places to buy =)

thank you

SP/PMK
Aliexpress/Taobao

Immediately available, The PMK site is your best bet.  The Aliexpress/Taobao stuff is most likely going to be Chinese made, not actual SP DSA.

If you want DSA, you have two choices:

1. Buy directly from PMK.
2. Wait for a group buy.

There may come a time when somebody puts up MaxKeys DSA or XDA keycap sets up for sale on an on-going basis the way PMK does, but I don't know of any that do that now. In terms of cost, the cheapest option would probably be a group buy for MaxKeys DSA, followed by a group buy for XDA.

ah okay, i guess i should wait for a group buy and hope for a good price then. i'm not willing to spend that much on keycaps atm
thank you for the help though

pmk sells them for $90 for a printed base set, which is pretty decent

I like the DSA profile itself.  What I would prefer is a semi-gloss or other smooth finish and thicker caps for DSA.
