[IC] DCS UFO | Kitting revised!
« on: Mon, 10 November 2025, 13:43:40 »


Post locked: Please see the group buy post.

DCS UFO
From the team behind DCS Good Morning.
Scroll to the bottom for keyboard renders and colour samples.

Interest Check v2 ● Discord Server ● DCS Good Morning

_____________________________________________________________________

Updates

31st December:
Super thrilled to be working with Yushakobo to bring DCS UFO to Japan!
Kitting changes mentioned below have been quoted/implemented, and alpha pipe and tilde have been added to base! The ISO novelty has gained some stars for better parity with the new BAE.
Alt 10u spacebar and R3 up arrow will also be ICed in the upcoming v2 Interest Check.

This page has been updated and will be getting a new IC shortly, mostly to check child kit viability now that pricing is known.

14th November:
Numpad to get homing 5 bar and dot; alt alphas to get Esc to allow 2nd board kitting without Novs; full UV print BAE cow abduction novelty confirmed possible by SP.
Thank you Xury46 for this suggestion! I am in love with "full art" BAE and hope it will be popular.

11th November:
We'll change the 40s kitting to sell mods solo, so minibars aren't being duplicated across kits. This will improve pricing.

Sellers/Vendors

UK: Basil (BasilKeys)
EU: LéHoy
US: ninjabrer (KokiCraft)
SEA: Lamy
Japan: Yushakobo

The Good Morning team (UK, US & EU) will run with Google Forms and PayPal again. Lamy will sell from Singapore in his community project support space Lamy's Keyboard Ranch.
Yushakobo are a vendor and will sell in the usual ways!

_____________________________________________________________________

Kitting
Everything in the IC, anyway.

Base kit:


Novelties:
A huge thank you Deadeye for bringing my novelty designs to life!


Alt alphas:
Including an Esc and tab in this kit allows kitting of a second keyboard (combined with base).
e g. an ISO TKL with no split keys, and an ANSI 60% or HHKB with split shifts and 1.5u backspace.
Picking up the Novelties kit nets you another copy of the enter keys.


Numpad:


40s mods:


Minibars & Alt Minibars:


40s colour fix:


10u spacebar & Alt 10u spacebar:


Novelty BAE & Regular BAE:



_____________________________________________________________________

Colour samples

The set will use BBI, BGN, BGU, YCC, and YCE.

I've already commissioned samples for the high contrast keys: anything with yellow & navy. It was worth doing because YCC (the bottom tab key in my hand) as a legend is
too muddy; YCE (on top) is exactly what I envisioned and gives a beautiful bright yellow with good contrast on BBI.



I've done my best to show a range of lighting!
BBI is the blue from DCS SMRT. If you have Peppabeit, the yellow alphas on that are YCC.

_____________________________________________________________________

Board renders

This is the Yakae in baby blue from unusual designs.


My custom Starry60 from unusual designs.


Petrichor in woad from AKB.


is0GR in Cirrus from AKB.


Starry60 strikes again.


F1-40 by Geon. The 40s colour fix is most worth it for 12u boards, but it improves minivans too.


Starry60 strikes again again.


Yakae strikes again.

Whoops! Thanks for catching that. It's uploading all stretched sideways at the moment...I am re-rendering and will stick it up there when done.

I gotta say the novelties are absolutely fantastic!
I would love to see the BAE get the same treatment as the ISO Enter.

It would offer greater opportunity for cow-napping...might have to explore this in time for the group buy! Thank you for the suggestion.

This set is so good! Instant buy for me as a new lover of DCS. I really would like to see a full set of novs for a 60% Bottom row tho (1.5/1.0/1.5 x2) Maybe it is just me but as a HUGE nov and artisan keycap person. I really think it looks silly to have only one side decked out in novs or like only Ctrl/Alt on either side have novs. I wanna decorate that bottom row!

Kitting updated! We'll look to poll the child kits again with pricing estimates to check which can go to GB.

As a happy owner of DCS Good Morning, it's been so fun watching UFO evolve, I'll likely get in on at least something from the GB! Best of luck Basil and the rest of the team!
