Now through December 20 January 10, I’m happy to be able to offer a group buy for the After-school 1992 retro-inspired (vaporwave, memphis, etc.) 90s keyset in the new-old DSS profile from Signature Plastics.





(these are photos, not renders)
I also offered a special finish called VHS on the Norbaforce Mark II, which I think makes an especially great pairing with this set. I will likely offer the same finish again on future products as well.
This set is shipping with my new special gift box packaging rather than the normal jumbled bags used on my SP group buys. They’re made here in California and not inexpensive to manufacture, but I feel that they really improve the keycap buying experience. I’m also working on a set of fun little 90s-themed surprises to include in the gift box. :)
Apologies that pricing is high, incidentally, but it turns out that, due to the way SP loads their mold shots, four-color sets of this type and quite costly to produce. But there was no other way to evoke the aesthetic I wanted, so I think it was worth the trade off. I’ve tried to make a balance between compatibility and cost, in light of this, with the layout support in the extended set. But, of course (and alas), it is in the nature of designing keysets that one will always disappoint some folks; my sincerest regrets if you are among them in this case.
Cost on the base TKL set is $135 (with add-ons available for Numpad and alternate layouts). Lead times are always a bit vague with SP, but I’m (pessimistically) anticipating that these will ship 3-4 months after GB close.
