These days, The DSA and SA is very popular among geekhack and massdrop. I just a little curious that why so many people like DSA OR SA
First of all, most (90%) people among Geekhack / Deskthority / /r/Mechanicalkeyboard on Reddit do not give much shxt about 'OEM' profile key cap sets - they like mostly the lower-profile that are similar among Cherry (i.e. "原厂" in TaoBao), Signature Plastics DCS, GMK, and Gateron.
Many many people like the look, i.e. the aesthetics of spherical key cap families (DSA and SA of Signature Plastics), while quite some people would also agree that they like mainly the look of DSA and SA key caps but these key caps do not work as efficient for them while typing.
Example DSA caps:
For me, I propose a DSA for Alps switches because DSA profile look good and it is a uniform profile, i.e. that's no row difference in caps. This makes it much simpler to have a working key cap set for a keyboard as one just sway a key to whatever row one wants, i.e. a set will work for a Planck and a 60% and a TKL without having to find more keys for a specific row as long as the size of the key caps are correct.
Example SA:
SA profile have rows. They have nice aesthetics and long history - they were there since earlier than the IBM Selectric typewriter. I bet people with thick large strong fingers who love to type with a lot of force like bashing on a mechanical typewriter would like SA profile.
