Updates

14th November:
Numpad to get homing 5 bar and dot; 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 when added into the new year IC.




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

_____________________________________________________________________

Overview

A range of kits are being polled in this interest check, as our last DCS run saw a good turnout of 40s and Alice users, and it
would be a shame to miss the support opportunity where there is demand. That being said, only kits with strong interest will be available at group buy.

Base covers most standard boards ranging 60% to F13 TKL, and is inclusive of HHKB with 6u bottom row and R3 Control. For the deep space enjoyer, the alt alphas kit moves UFO into
tasteful monotone territory...and the inclusion of another tab makes it possible to kit a second board (e.g. TKL + 65 or TKL + 60), though picking up novelties makes this job easier on the eye!
Child kit compatibility includes numpad, basic 40s, and Alice minibars. The "QWERTY" alert row brings the celestial yellow alert to NRL, and 10u spacebar and BAE are just here for fun.

Novelties are designed by me with invaluable input from the community, and will be brought to life by the talented Deadeye. Also, the alien is named Zlörp and the cow is named Bert.

As with DCS Good Morning, this group buy will run independently of vendors; we will handle orders and fulfilment ourselves.


UFO will be sold and distributed by:

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


Pricing is highly dependent on interest/MOQ. Based on numbers from our previous set I'd ballpark base in the $110–140 range for US buyers.
International pricing will also include import fees, so add your local charges. We'll publish an IC with price estimates in the new year.

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 or 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 colour correct these images to what I can see in front of me! BBI is the blue from DCS SMRT. If you have Peppabeit, the yellow alphas on that are YCC.

Kitting
Everything in the IC, anyway.

Base kit:



Novelties:
Novelty images are placeholders while files are completed. They will be close. The UK ISO key will be UV printed.



Alt alphas:
Seems counter-intuitive, but in the IC so far it's got almost 50% interest! Picking up alongside Base and Novelties, you can kit a 2nd board with UFO.



Numpad:
Thank you Blacksimon for requesting this on the last run. It has been popular in the IC so far. Support for 1800 included.



40s:



QWERTY alerty:



Minibars:



Alt minibars:



10u spacebar:



BAE:

[Xury46]

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

[roffelsaur]

I'll be asking this UFO to take me away

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.

One of the greatest sets I've laid my eyes upon

[Randomlosername]

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!
