긱핵에서 그룹바이 시작했네요
전 너무나 설레입니다 ㅠㅠ
DSA (구형무각 스텝스 생각하시면 되요)로 키캡그룹바이가 시작되었습니다.
가격별로 구성별로 특이하고 상당히 세세하게 진행되는군요
(마치 R4를 보는듯한...=_=;;; 설마 크리스마스때나 받아볼수있는건 아니겠죠? ㅠㅠ)

아래는 원문 발췌입니다.
TL;DR
- DSA family, this ain't your standard key set, if you
don't know what it means, read this whole post!
- space bars are in DCS but they go well together with DSA keys
- ISO Returns and left stem'ed caps are in DCS and I have no idea how they look together with DSA
- For a standard TKL you need KIT1 + KIT2 or KIT3 + 6.25 space bar
- Remember to pick a spacebar
- If you get ISO remember to pick at least 3 1-unit blanks
- Pricing
- Order form
This is a group buy for DSA family spherical keycaps. DSA is a medium profile keycaps family (PDF of Signature Plastics reference) with spherical top.
This is how it looks like compared to other families:
To my knowledge there have been very few (if none) GBs for this family of keycaps. Keys are all on the same profile (0-degrees angle) which means that you can place any key in any position (the are no rows like in standard DCS family). This makes them suitable for custom keyboards and unconventional layouts (dvorak, colemak, ...).
This is not your usual set of keycaps, be sure to understand what you are buying.
Colors
Colors are inspired by the Commodore 64, hence the "Retro" naming.
These are the official SP colors we are going to use:
This is a preview of the Retro kit (NOTE that the mods are not how they really look like in this set, this is just to give you a rough idea)

PS: I've been asked for additional colors (namely white on blue). If this GB gets a very high volume of orders we may add more colors.
Kits
Here what you can buy. There are a lot of options but don't worry, I developed a web app to make ordering very easy, see below.
KIT 1: Extetended Alpha
includes homing keys for dvorak, colemak and others
KIT 2: TKL + Winkeyless + Capslock Switch kit |
This is all you need for "standard keyboards", just remember to add a spacebar (6.25 Universal for the usual sospects).
NOTE: Left stemmed keys are in DCS Family not DSA!
KIT 3: TKL Plum + Winkeyless + Capslock Switch kit |
Same as above but in burgundy
KIT 4: Numpad
KIT 5: ISO
NOTE: NO 1 unit keys included, you have to buy them separately!
KIT 6: C64 Nostalgia
Function row in Commodore style
KIT 7-11: All mods!
NOTE: No duplicate keys! If you want 2 ctrl, 2 alt, 2 super, ... you need to pick 2 of each!
KIT 12: Extras!
Blanks
Blank keys for every need. Remember to pick a space bar.
Important note regarding space bars!
SP doesn't have any standard DSA space bar available. All the space bars are in the DCS family, they go well together with DSA, but they are not of the same family!
I am adding to the mix a 6 units DSA spacebar, but it has weird mount points so it is good for very special custom builds ONLY! I am including it anyway because it's the only DSA space bar we can get.
NOTE: if we get enough orders for 6-units DSA and 6-units DCS, we may consider buying the tooling to make a standard 6 units DSA space bar which would cost approx $800.
