Allllrighty! Got some prices and have some updates.
I had a couple complaints about 60% users having to shell out for a full modifiers kit so I’ve decided to try and set this up with a Base Mods kit being the keys needs to complete a 60% board and then added a pack that finished out 100% kits. The price is the same ($60 for all or $40/$20 split up), just with a break for those who want this as 60% without paying for the extra keys. Also, I inverted Ergodox as I had several requests for that as well.
Quotes received include the cost of the custom legends rolled into the Core kit so that the novelties are affordable. This will be the most effective way to lower costs all around. I’m planning the MOQ of the core kit at 50 and will get some quotes for smaller quantities on some of the child packs.
Kits I’m still considering - International, WASD kit, win kit,
And where I’m at now!! ::














::UPDATE 5::
Made it to 100 on PMK! HOORRRRAAAAAYY!!!! So excited! :D
I’m going to go ahead and call it on the profile poll so I can post details on PMK. It looks like the DSA’s have it! Which works well as DSA will allow for the most customization.

::UPDATE 4::
PMK Interest check is LIVE! Can we tip it!? CLICK HERE & VOTE TO TIP FOR GROUP BUY!
I just want to say, I have received wonderful suggestions and support for these designs and if the novelties tip & are created I am willing to share the rights with a prominent GH community member 100%! So if someone wants to run different colors or glow in the dark or something they can. I’m not in this for anything but the end result and the experience!! I had not even considered the technicality of user rights on legends until I read several threads on here - at the end of the day, I just want to see this through to fruition and share it with community that helped me create it! :D
::UPDATE 3:: Added Planck set / replaced images with updated planetary
icons
::UPDATE 2:: (original post and first update at bottom)
Alright! Added homing set and a purple planetary pack. I also updated the colors a bit. After comparing several sets and using the Desk Authority guide, I’ve selected GTA as the grey and BO for the blue. I feel those colors will print closest to what I’m going for and the rendering should display them quite accurately.
Originally, I intended to use the Sun for the Escape key and the 9 planets would correspond with 1-9. I added a few more novelty keys though to improve customization.
Material - ABS
Colors - GTA | RDE | BO
Profile - DSA
So far, Deep Space includes:
1 Core Kit (alphas, GTA w/RDE legends) | 2 modifier options - Orion (RDE) & Polaris (BO) | Core Numpad | 2 Adder options - Orion & Polaris | Planetary Pack | Ergodox | ISO | Adapter Kit (Tsangan/Winkeyless) | Stripes | Extra Homing (Dvorak/Planck) | Extra Spacebar options - 6u . 6.25u, 6.5u | Planck | JD40













::UPDATE 1::
I’ve added an image with all the kits I have created so far including a Tsangan/Winkeyless “adapter” kit, some space bar options, and a few other goodies. If I’ve left anything out please let me know! I’ve tried to cover my bases but there is a lot of info out there.
I haven’t decided on profile entirely. I went with DSA to get quotes and make sure the pricing and designs were viable but I am working on getting quotes on SA profile too.
/*/*I will be getting new quotes and asking Signature Plastics about profiles after I get feedback!
::ORIGINAL POST::
Hello all!!
I have been working on this set for a while that combines my love of space, design, and purple!
Deep Space allows for a lot of customization and color combinations as well as some new Planet themed designs (Pluto included!)
I’ve spoken with Melissa at signature plastics to refine my design, get quotes and make sure the set is doable. Now, it’s up to you guys to decide if it’s worthy of being made.
So far, this is quoted for DSA - ABS - Doubleshot, but I am open to input still for profiles! If I could figure out how to do a poll, I would make one for DCS, SA and DSA to see what is most popular.
I’ll get more info on the sets that aren’t quoted yet and I’ll make a Tsangan, a Winkeyless and a few others if there is enough interest.

Thanks! I hope you all like the set! :thumb:
