Can SP even do space bars in PBT DCS now?  Last I knew they were only doing PBT space bars in DSA profile.

Yeah they can, and they don't look bad either.  The 6.25 that I got doesn't have any warping issues.  However if they have to produce a large quantity of them it might be a different story.

The choice of color could work, but I'm having a hard time imagining it on real caps.
But I've been looking for a pbt dyesub set with nordic letters so it'll probably be good :)

this would be a very approximate representation, the blue is actually a bit darker.

I like the color scheme.  Any chance of Cherry legends, or did you have something else in mind?

Would you ever consider doing a Olivetti dye-sub DCS set?

Excellent.  Last I knew they were only doing DSA in pbt so this is great news.

In love with this color scheme. Count me in if there is a 6.5u spacebar and other modifiers for k70's problematic bottom row.

Sorry for this taking so long. Designing nice legends is not easy.

This would be the base kit. It's not 100% finished, but close.



Of course we'll have more kits: apple, winkeyless, extras, gamer's, numpad, ...

This is very nice and please be sure to offer modifiers set and space bars as stand alone child buys so people interested in those may opt for them with no need to buy the full set.

I'd like to make a gamer kit with some icons if you like the idea.

The wasd kit may be of the same color of the alphas with red or blue legends. I would add support for HHKB layout, meaning the 1.75u row 3 control, the 1.5u row 2 backspace, the 1.75u right shift and 1u FN key row 4 mainly. I know I am biased on this, but just sharing the idea.

I like the color  scheme, and the font is cool. I'm just not a big fan of centered alpha legends.  Will there be GH keys?

You know there are just too many GBs for caps now, that may be hidden this new set a bit, and your proposal is not getting the attention it deserves. We all know your work is of very high quality and your sets are always innovative, but maybe this is not the right time to have it properly exposed.

You should ask SP for a quote sooner rather than later. From what I understand, they aren’t super enthusiastic to do DCS dyesubs.

Very interested in a PBT DCS set for my D79.

I'm totally onboard with the colours if they look like  duckys, but your mockups look a touch too dark and a little too metallic.

A 'Brit Kit' with ISO caps would be nice if possible.

It's an Olivetti ANK 28-102.  Pretty sure it's rubber dome, but I do like the centered font and icons on this board.
