High quality keys, beautiful subtle colors with great readability. Easily the nicest caps I've ever bought, with great communication throughout the ordering process.
While some may be adverse to using DSAa profile caps, I love them and this is the second set I've owned in that profile. The colors and theme of this set are On Point and exceptionally cute. Can't wait to see what the designers will make next!
Base Kit + Nonstandard Icon Mods to maintain a consistent look with icon mods.
Alphas + Text Mods + Nonstandard Icon Mods will work as well, but your 1.75u R Shift will have an icon legend inconsistent with the rest of the text mods.

DSA vs. XDA and SA R3:
Hey everyone,
Based on feedback we've received, we've added a standalone Alphas kit as well as a NorDE kit for additional modularity and compatibility. They are available for pre-order now.
If you are using PayPal, please cancel you previous order and place a new one with all your desired kits. This will ensure that there won't be any payment failures.
As always, thank you all for your support!
Looks great! Would love to have seen alphas seperated out of the base kit, though. That way ergo and ortho users aren't stuck with a bunch of mod keys they have no use for.
Hey everyone, thank you so much for joining in on DSA Astrolokeys!

We're really excited to bring these magical colors to your keyboards. We designed it specifically with keyboard newcomers in mind, and we're so excited for you to join in!
What kits should I buy?
For most standard-sized keyboards, you'll want to get just the base kit. The Nonstandard kit is great for your 65% boards, HHKB layouts, and WKL kits. Almost all other staggered layouts should be covered by the 40s kits!
We're particularly proud of our ortho and ergo kits. These would go great on your Plancks and Ergodox boards!
Do minimum order quantities have to be met for each kit?
We encourage you to definitely order kits that you're interested in. Sometimes kits that don't make MOQ do not get manufactured at all, and we want to make sure everyone has the keyboard of their dreams! It's better to get in now and confirm the MOQ early (so that others can see that it's been hit and join in themselves) than to wait and see.
Who's making these caps?
DSA Astrolokeys are going to be manufactured by Signature Plastics. They will be a high-quality, doubleshot ABS plastic (meaning the legends on the caps are not printed, but a separate piece of plastic entirely, so they'll never fade off).
Who are you?We're cassidoo and sailorhg! We're software engineers turned designers who love code and keyboards.
Thank you so much for being a part of DSA Astrolokeys! We really appreciate your feedback a ton. We've loved seeing messages across social media and Drop of new folks coming into this hobby and finding a set that's cute, accessible, and high quality. We're hoping that based on how this drop goes, we can do more cute projects for the keyboard community to enjoy. Thanks for your time! We can't wait to see your keyboards!
The previous update was posted here.
We have inbound tracking on the shipment from Signature Plastics, and expect that the keycaps will arrive at our warehouse on Monday March 23rd. Depending on what time on the 23rd they arrive, they'll be unpacked, checked, and then shipped out to everyone over the 24-26th timeline!
March 26th Update: These are now in our warehouse, and we're looking to ship them in the next 7 days. Things are moving slowly at our warehouse due to mandated reduced staff hours (social distancing, etc.). Appreciate your patience, we'll get these moving as soon as we can.
April 2nd Update: We're about 50% through shipping the order. The warehouse is moving slowly but getting through it. We'll be launching the extras for sale towards the end of next week (around April 10th).
April 6th Update: Shipping is complete and the Extras are now available for sale!
Hey everyone, welcome to DSA Astrolokeys!
This is a very cool DSA keycap set designed by @cassidoo and @sailorhg. I'm dropping a quick note here as a placeholder while they get their first post ready for everyone.
I'm super excited about the colors and novelties with this set along with how modular DSA is for those with unique layouts.
We are also launching this with a base kit that has most of the novelty trimmings included. We hope this is something the community will enjoy as well!
