Interest Checks / [IC] DCS Nights
« Last post by Kaptain Mike on Mon, 27 July 2026, 23:14:18 » Fill IC Form Here
I would like to present: Nights
DCS Nights is a dark set that pairs black keycaps with soft luminous legends and a spectrum of colors.
This creates moments of color within a dark presentation, like walking through downtown at night and seeing flashes of color and light pop as you make your way.
DCS Nights will hopefully be offered in both Alps and MX switch compatibility.
Alps-compatible group buys are rare, and this project aims to provide the most common layout support through a TKL base kit and optional kits if you need em.
If you’d like to see this project happen, please share this IC link and fill out the interest check form so I can show vendors that people want to buy.
Community support is a huge part of making Alps projects like this possible.
Btw, I am quite inexperienced with Alps so I will be learning alongside a lot of you.
PROPOSED ALPS KITS
The modifier legends follow an intended color sequence around the keyboard.
Kitting is slim because I expect a lower MOQ target for Alps that will increase the price.
For the numpad enjoyers! Lots of Alps boards are full size so make sure you pick this up.
Additional keys preserve the intended color arrangement for different layouts like WKL and BAE.
These will glow if you charge em with a UV light
Great for macro columns or anywhere else you want!
PROPOSED MX KITS
The modifier legends follow an intended color sequence around the keyboard.
Additional/duplicate keys help preserve the intended color arrangement for layouts like WKL, 67/75 etc.
Whether you prefer a full size board or a standalone numpad, this kit is for you.
This kit adds support and color flow for true HHKB bottom row and the most common alice boards.
I’m sorry for splitting this off from the base but it adds a lot to the cost.
Definitely taking feedback to see what reasonable changes can be made to this kit.
Did I mention these will glow if you charge em with a UV light? Great for macro columns, blank alphas, or anywhere else you want!
COLORS & SPECS
All stock SP colors
Manufacturer - Signature Plastics
Material - ABS plastic
Profile - Cherry
Legends - Doubleshot Gorton
Shinethru are printed.
Text-icon modifiers.
RENDERS
Disclaimer: These renders attempt to convey the real life colors/textures.
SEAL80 by Sensy
SEAL100 by Sensy
Cloudnine by Machina
The render below emphasises the luminescence, it is NOT this strong in real life.
In typical use, ambient light and monitor brightness will wash out much if not all of the glow effect.
In fact, I would almost say it’s nonexistent in most cases.
If you charge it with a dedicated UV light, then it will glow stronger.
Special thanks to @pensa for the renders

IDK... just kinda bland throughout.
The characters performed didn't make sense for how old they are, and how much "life" they would've experienced to remain so Caricature'
Who is this movie for? Young people have no stake, Older people who saw the first one are themselves too old to care.
The colors are nice, the cloths look'd fine.
/Not moved.
/Not entertained.

« Last post by lilfat3 on Mon, 27 July 2026, 20:20:41 »Instant buy. Amazing work!
One piece of thought: would you consider including a capslock or an enter with a different color in the base kit? Both of them being red now makes R3 a little bit too symmetric, kind of inconsistent with the asymmetric vibe of this set.

Ok, Tp4 has been ad-targetted.
He is weak, pretty fat, and sweats alot.
Now capitalism says, Hai Tp, we have a solution for you,
For only $280, you can have AC, WHILE on the OUTSIDE, whaaaaa..... ??
NE1 got one of these? They wurk gud?
6000mah battery, 3 tec patches, and 4x impeller fans for air flow.
Hrrrm... How does it direct the Hot side air of the tec.

is weather radar getting kinda crappy / sparse, they used to be more accurate
For once, I agree wholeheartedly.
Among other problems, around here "rain" is predicted at rates 10X greater than what actually falls on my garden.
