Hello all!
My first topic post here on GH and I hope to
bring a new colorway to the hobby, specifically geared
towards 40%, 50%, and Ortholinear users.
UPDATE
11/15/19
I am revamping the timeline for this set and
it will be happening sooner rather than later. Hope to have
more concrete answers in a week or so.
UPDATE
07/01/19
The people have spoken, and I have added a 60%
Compatibility kit! This is as much as I will add at this
point, and unless there is some major conflict, this should
cover everything 60% and below!!! I hope you all are ready
for an awesome GB in mid August.
Also if anyone knows
of an EU vendor willing to step up, please PM me so we can
make this a reality for those of you across the pond!!
About
Ortho
users and specifically 40% staggered users miss out on tons
of great keysets due to crazy MOQs for a few additional
keys. (Note I’m not blaming designers specifically and I
understand with GMK sets the MOQs are really high to begin
with.) I thought I’d try and change it up a little bit with
some inspiration from other users who have recently put
forth the effort to get more compatibility for those of us
with small keyboards.
As such I am proud to introduce
DSA Vegas Nights:

NEW BOARD RENDERS AND NOVELTIES - HUGE SHOUTOUT TO

Inspired by other keysets with night themes, I felt
Vegas with it’s flashy neon was really left out of the
picture. Vegas inspires hope, luck, and big winnings, and is
a perfect inspiration for a sweet keyset with a gradient to
match! With 101 total keys, this should be able to cover the
following boards:
Planck, Preonic, AMJ40, Daisy, Chicory, JD40, JD45,
Minivan, Vortex Core, Pearl, UT47, THE50, TMO50, DIMPLE,
45-ATS, CANDYBAR.
That’s 16 boards that are either out, or coming down
the pipe soon!
No new colors and no new molds (except
for potential novelties) means we should be able to keep the
pricing reasonable. The numpad keys are in a gradient such
that Preonic users can have a number row that matches the
alphas, but also allows for a 4x4 numpad (or larger) with
the additional 2U keys. JJ4x4, Roadkit, etc… (Removed 2U
keys to accommodate other keys)
Things that still need
to happen:
- Get pricing from SP
- Decide on a vendor if this potentially blows MOQ out of the water
- Get a firm timeline
-
Move to GB Phase
FAQ:
NE ISO? - NO
Will you add keys for 60%/TKL/Full Size? - No, this is not in the plans for this keyset.
Why not? - This set is for those who get left out by other GBs and is geared towards small keyboards. This is to keep pricing down and offer some exclusivity to those of us using said boards.
Why DSA? - Uniform profile allows for the most compatibility and flexibility among smaller keyboards and allows users to get creative to their layout.
Why SP? - Doubleshot keycaps with great quality. Also, GMK Fatigue is starting to set in for me.
DISCLAIMER
This set is in it’s very infancy and will take some time to bring to GB phase most likely. I understand this set is not for everyone and that most of you will not be happy that it’s only for 50% and below sized boards. Please understand this is just to offer something different and is not an attack/vendetta/etc at 60% plus size board users. (I own a 65% and 96% myself as well as a lot of smaller boards)
I look forward to any constructive criticism that you might have.
Thanks for looking!!
