[IC] DCS SOJU BLUE
« on: Sun, 07 June 2026, 07:10:54 »
Hey guys, Neil from Typist Club here.
Introing DCS SOJU BLUE, the sequel by KEI (the designer behind KKB SOJU BLUE).
Inspo comes from Korean Jinro Retro Soju "Jinro Is Back".
Compared to the KKB version, DCS are tweaked based on SP ABS colors, and the novelties got a new design.

Bump. KKB Soju is awesome. Nice to see some changes in the DCS novelties to change things up a bit

Great idea. Can you do icon only mods within the base or a separate kit? It would cleaner.

6u spacebar in alphas kit please. Why is there a blue shade difference between alphas and base legends?

Icon mods would make this an amazing set

Can you please add 10u Spacebars since this is DCS?

I would like to see blue base with modifier color (not alpha)

You used a Korean name (Soju) but there's no Korean alphas?
Why? Sorry, I don't get it.

Nice looking colorway! Love to see it in Gorton and DCS.

Have a few suggestions/comments for the kitting if you'd consider:

1. Would you consider doing classic styling for legends on the navigation cluster? i.e. "Prt Sc" / "Scroll Lock" / "Pause"
and "Delete" instead of "Del" for both R1 and R2 keys. I'd also make sure Pg Up and Pg Dn are spelled with a space between "Pg" and "Up/Dn"

2. Could you consider doing the thinner / corrected versions of tilde and quote/apostrophe? i.e. `/~ and ' "
This applies to both base and alt alphas kits

3. Can R2 1.5u Backspace be "Backspace" (one-line legend) instead of "Back | Space" (two lines)?

4. I see that a Tab, R1 2u Backspace and R2 1.5u Backspace were added to the Alphas kit to enable putting the set on two keyboards. It seems the color on these two Backspace keys should be the lighter blue. The R2 Backspace is also inconsistent in legend choice with the Base kit's.

5. Can there be a 6u spacebar added to Alphas kit?

6. I would suggest adding R1 Pg Dn and R1 End to Numpad kit to enable 1800s support.

I think that's all I can spot for now but please do consider these changes!
