[IC] DCS Olivetti
« on: Sun, 15 March 2026, 01:58:16 »
DCS Olivetti

Hello dcs and blue enjoyers,
There’s not much introduction needed for this classic colorway. Inspired by Olivetti keyboards (ABS).
At first this was supposed to be, a "private" GB within my discord. However, there is more demand
than I initially thought. Because of that, I’ve decided to turn this into a public GB.

Material: ABS

No ISO kit at Delta Key Co.?
Please think about ISO users, add a split left shift to your "alice style" keyboards

Locking physical ISO support to the UK kit seems a bit of a bad choice imo, as it shafts over users who use ISO but not UK-ISO.

I was so worried about the early preview kitting that was teased a while back. This looks great though. I hope it is timed well for my budget.

EDIT @Mon, 16 March 2026, 06:13:54:
Since originally posting this response, the highlighted issue has been rectified in the OP. The response below is thus no longer valid but kept for continuity.

While you have included terminal ISO, I do not agree on the notion that it is "free". You are essentially forcing all ISO users to either buy out the 6 extra keys for UK ISO, which is a subset of the ISO user base, or not buy the ISO kit at all. I'd wager the 6 extra keys in that kit has just about doubled the price of that kit, with only a minority of the users actually getting their money's worth out of that large a kit.

As for the post, it only states that the UK ISO kit will be free. Not the terminal ISO:

I misspelled it. You’ll get both UK and terminal ISO free of charge.
