This is just Interest check for now. We'll see how it goes and if we gonna start GB (and who will do it

)
Ideally we will aiming for similar group of kits like in Retro DSA GB, so there would be ISO, ANSI, extras, blanks etc.

DSA set for an old school two tone white/beige, that looks like this :

Color scheme only:

DSA specs: http://keycapsdirect.com/pdfs/DSAFamily.pdf

DSA set example from Retro DSA GB:

So far we decided on PBT dye-sub and these two color tones:

Here's SP's colors pattern:

Let us know if you're interested!

Interested in this. It would be nice to add a more reserved set to my collection (which consists of one actual set, but...).

tjweir · « **Reply #2 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 08:02:00 »

phinix · « **Reply #7 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 17:06:00 »

This off-white/cream and beige color look nice together.

Or maybe this WFO color is better with beige?

ishtob · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 20:50:55 »

i like WFO with beige

phinix · « **Reply #9 on:** Fri, 24 May 2013, 02:54:35 »

Yeah, WFO and GAW look nice together:)

+1 for those colors. PBT. I'm definitely interested if there is an option for extra blank caps and 1.5 modifiers.

ishtob · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 24 May 2013, 13:47:33 »

more interested in black 1.75 mods, as every other blank PBT are available from SP's inventory

Latin00032 · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 24 May 2013, 14:28:34 »

I vote for pbt if you can do it. Only because the last one was dsa.

down for any DSA that involves offering 1x, 1.5x, and 2x blanks

the more options i have for my ErgoDox, the better

SeriouSSpotS · « **Reply #24 on:** Sun, 26 May 2013, 05:55:32 »

That is the plan:) I'm after ISO in a first place, so it's a must for this set, I promise!

interested, but only DE- layout. Don't know if that's possible?!

CommunistWitchDr · « **Reply #30 on:** Sun, 26 May 2013, 17:10:23 »

If they're blank pbt, and have an ErgoDox set, I'm almost certainly in.

JSchool · « **Reply #31 on:** Sun, 26 May 2013, 18:56:53 »

Oh yes, I want haz.

Consider me interested. But man, we have to find some way to use GSM. I like that color.

BTW, have you considered a Commodore 64C color scheme? It's pretty similar but less beige.

daerid · « **Reply #32 on:** Sun, 26 May 2013, 19:27:10 »

Absolutely. BLANK PBT. (I'm with Glod on this one)

gnubag · « **Reply #33 on:** Mon, 27 May 2013, 00:25:38 »

interested!

how about 60% layouts? for the GH60?
and blank sets?

ishtob · « **Reply #34 on:** Mon, 27 May 2013, 00:47:03 »

I really think if we do this GB, the options for DSA retro set should be offered, it was the easiest way for everyone to get what they wanted

}else{ · « **Reply #35 on:** Mon, 27 May 2013, 10:31:54 »

I am definitely interested in this!

Possibly with 60% layout, maybe blank as option?

Either way sounds great.

Very interested in this set! But is it possible to get an unprinted set?

Why is no one collecting my money yet?

dante · « **Reply #40 on:** Sun, 02 June 2013, 10:06:36 »

blank DSA.

Nobody else is doing DSA - be different!

nebo · « **Reply #41 on:** Tue, 04 June 2013, 11:17:15 »

Two ICs for DSA? So exciting!

Would be in for blanks as long as there are ways to get 1.5 mods and multiple 1.75s.

vorn · « **Reply #42 on:** Tue, 04 June 2013, 11:42:42 »

Two IC's for DSA, but the other is decidedly SP. I really hope this does go the way of GMK!!!

I'd be most interested in PBT blanks, but I'd be in for anything that comes from this IC. My only criteria would be ISO enter and a 1.75x for ShiftR.

Just gonna have to wait and see!

Trueno86 · « **Reply #43 on:** Tue, 04 June 2013, 14:43:20 »

Color "GSM" with White would be hot!

Still interested tho!

TD22057 · « **Reply #44 on:** Fri, 07 June 2013, 08:51:26 »

One thing that was really nice about the DSA retro set was the adaptability of the set choices. That's crucial for me - I'm only doing custom layouts so if I can't get a full set of 1.5 width keys, I'm not interested. DSA retro GB included:

- alpha set included home keys for qwerty, dvorak, and colemak and single width \ key (retro kit 1)
- modifiers set included 1.25 and 1.5 width ctrl, alpha, caps lock, 1.75 shift (retro kit 2 & 3)
- separate modifier kits for 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 widths include all the keys you need in custom layouts like ergodox (alt, return, shift, backspace, etc) (retro kit 7, 8 and 9).
- blanks in various sizes (1, 1.5, 2 width) and colors

So I'd vote for just repeating the DSA retro kit group buy scheme with a change in colors. Prices were reasonable and the flexibility means more people might be willing to buy in.

TD22057 · « **Reply #48 on:** Fri, 07 June 2013, 20:14:30 »

One other thought: DSA retro was ABS double shot so everyone who wanted that type of caps has probably ordered them. I think doing a DSA PBT dye-sub run has a better chance of getting more orders since it won't be just a change in colors.

tjweir · « **Reply #49 on:** Wed, 12 June 2013, 16:10:25 »

Has this been offered to the folks on Deskthority as well?

That may drum up some more interest.
