I'm a fan of DSA, I think we need more! Too many SA keysets out there (plus super long queue for them).
If there's so many, how come I can't find any ? Are there no artists left ? It really annoys me , this term "artisans". How it refers to ONE keycap, where's the full keyset with wacky textures and custom pantone colors?

Picasso is overrated.

You can always just buy 108 artisan keycaps and make your own set ;)

Absolutely.

This is the 80's I love.

Because all the SA sets "out there" are on people's keyboards, not sitting in some warehouse waiting to be bought.

Group buys typically have a very narrow window of opportunity for purchase, and they generally only make enough stock to fill the pre-orders. So if you missed out on the group buy(s), you are out of luck. Unless, of course, someone wants to sell their (used) set, which is pretty rare for SA sets.

Yea,  I get it.  I'm just publicly venting. And I'm hoping to get another plastics manufacturer on board the SA train. Signature plastics has ruled long enough.

This is way off topic.  Looking temporarily because I want to keep more active ICs at the top.
