DCS Pink Alert
Welcome to the Pink Alert IC, a set idea I had whilst
getting zooted on the balcony one time and thought to myself
“Damn, I really want that to exist”. Now that you know where
you are, lets get into it shall we?
Inspiration
DCS Red Alert is one of my favourite sets of all time and
pastel pink is one of my favourite colors. So why not
combine them?
IC Form
Once you’ve had a gander at what Pink Alert has to
offer for now, it’d be much appreciated if you could take a
few minutes to fill the IC Form above so I know what you
guys would like to see change.
Kits
Keep in mind renders are not to be used as exact color
reference as they are not representative of how the set
will look in real life.

as being usable on a standalone numpad

Color Samples
Color Samples finally here. These
are a good way to get a rough idea of how the pink should
actually look like IRL.
These pictures are taken in natural daylight in front of my
open window. Lighting has a massive impact on colors, so
keep in mind that shade of pink may contrast under your
desklamp at 3AM
.

accurately estimate what a realistic MOQ is for the set.
Why
DCS:
Aside from the relatively short lead times, I genuinely love
the profile and typing feelof these keycaps. For
those who are still stuck on the mindset that thin keycaps
are inherently bad, I would argue that’s only the case when
it’s paired with the low quality materials and OEM-tier
manufacturing processes those are typically made with. The
thinness of ABS DCS attributes to less dampening of switch
feedback, even going as far as making tactiles feel more
tactile due to this effect. Moreover the unique “chirpy”
/ thin sound profile, albeit polarising, further adds
to what makes me and many others love it.
ABS: Not only
is DCS PBT far more expensive than
ABS DCS and thicker (thus losing a part of what I love about
thin DCS), it’s also just not possible for this design due
to the white on pink keycaps as they require reverse
dye-sublimation; which Signature Plastics can’t do as of
yet.
Wyse Legends: I personally enjoy the unique
aesthetic this font provides and think it works well with
the profile. I understand there are those who may prefer I
use Cherry legends but this will not be a possibility for
this set. If this is a dealbreaker for you, there are plenty
of other wonderful sets that make use of great pastel pinks
This kitting: The kits you see above have been
carefully thought out, taking into consideration all the
sage advice provided from friends and wise community members
alike. To reiterate - if you have
anysuggestions or criticisms that you believe may help improve
the set, please do not hold back! Fill out the IC form and
voice your opinion in this thread.
