Hey guys! Im From the philippines. And i want DSAs
« on: Mon, 09 May 2016, 02:48:03 »
Im new here and im really fascinated with mechanical keyboards. Just recently I purchased a new varmilo va87 TKL keyboard and slapped some tai-hao keycaps on it.



I want to try DSAs so bad though haha! I hope i could find someone here that would sell those beauties to me.

Welcome to GeekHack!

Check out the Classifieds sub-forum if you're looking to buy (you can't post until you have 25 posts and 2 months of membership).

Oh...you could also pick up some DSA sets on Pimpmykeyboard.com for that quick fix.

Happy Keyboarding kabayan! :thumb:

Welcome I just picked up some blank DSAs and a set from PimpMyKeyBoard and I am never turning back. Blank sets at PMKB are pretty cheap if you want to just try them out without buying a themed set.

Hmm not sure check the "What is is worth?" thread. New sets for 80% boards on PMKB are about $100 USD blank sets are about $70 USD. They also offer different set of modifiers for ErgoDox and other types of keyboards.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I like that keycap set, but it could do with a bit more yellow on the bottom row :p

DSA retro doesn't seem to come up for sale very often.  I don't know if it's because not many were made, or just because people like them so much they don't want to let them go.  Probably the latter - there was a lot of excitement when they were first produced.

Good luck with your search :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Leave this comment here, and in a year's time check back and see if it is still correct :p ;)
