This is my first interest check and first experience
with organizing any kind of group buy, so stay with
me.
Please refrain from leaving comments about this sets
similarities to DCS Midnight. That is one of my personal
favorite sets in color scheme and this set is inspired by
it but in a form I prefer to type on. I have infinite
respect for /u/matt3o
EDIT/UPDATE:
Thanks for the
feedback so far! Looks like we are going with DSA currently.
I will be creating a second interest check soon that will be
the final one before the group buy, if I can get
confirmation that enough people are interested through a
form that will be on that new post. Still have not heard
back from SP on pricing, but when they do, I will be posting
it on the new interest check, so stay tuned!
UPDATE
2017/9/05: I heard back from Signature Plastics about
pricing, Will wait to post it though because I am waiting
for the pricing of seperate compatibility kits. The kit will
be DSA ABS Doubleshot,
One note, I live in Canada and
since they are going to be shipping the keycaps to me, I
will likely be hit with tax and a handling fee by Canada
Post. This means for each set I am going to have to add on
an additional set charge for each set, which will drive the
cost up a bit.
If anyone has ever ran a GB out of British Columbia,
Canada, please get in contact with me and run me through
their experience and if they were charged by Canada Post.
I may also have to find someone in the US who is willing
to take the GB over and ship everything if it turns out it
will cost to much to get the sets to me. Thanks for the
support everyone.

EDIT: Updated render of the set. I am familiar with
c4d but not blender so I couldn’t make this myself. Still
working on the bottom row and designing the keycaps for
them. Colors aren’t accurate but you at least get to see the
custom keycaps so far. The work continues!

DSA Forested Nights is a set made mostly for 60% and
similar boards with compatibility for Full Size, TKL, and
various others through compatibility packs.
This set
started as a personal fantasy inspired by a mix of the DCS
Midnight keyset and the colors from a piece of pixel art I
have been working on and off on for the past month or so. I
decided that since I had no way of getting a set like this
on my own, I would try and get a group buy going.
The
set will be doubleshot ABS seeming how I have no way of
getting PBT caps with the font being lighter than the base
:/
Font will be the SP standard Gorton Modified, it is
the cleanest font for keycaps in my personal opinion and I
think it will look fantastic on this set.
As for the
color of text, the plastic I am going with is a darker shade
than what is found on DCS Midnight. It leans more towards
green than blue, which can be seen in this picture here (The
left color chip is what was used in DCS Midnight)

I am still working on designing the novelty keycaps
for this set. They will be a 1u key meant to replace the
escape key in the same offset tealish color as the font and
enter key. Control, Windows, Alt, and Function key, will
likely consist of the tree pictured above, A mountain, and a
moon, all with a circle bordering them too keep some level
of continuity, but this is subject to change.
Do you
want this set in DSA or SA?:

Set will be in DSA.

All feedback for this set is appreciated, as this is
my first time running an interest check or (possibly) the
group buy.
I am still waiting on a quote from SP about
a rough estimate of the pricing. Along with this, if there
is enough interest for this set I am going to need to learn
how to figure out how to run the group buy. I know many will
be skeptical of a first timer actually going through with
this but this is a passion project for me and any money I do
make from it will be going into buying my first car. If
anyone who is experienced with running group buys and
shipping etc could get in contact with me and give me a
small walkthrough when it comes to shipping all of these out
I would really appreciate it. We all need to start
somewhere, and I am going to make this happen if it kills
me.
Thank you all, and I will update you as soon as I get a
pricing quote from SP.
