Hey everyone,
To continue what we started with the SA Pulse TKL keycap buy, we are launching a collection of iconic keycap sets from the past for pre-order.
The three keycap sets are -
GMK Red Samurai by @RedSuns
MT3 /dev/tty by @Matt3o
XDA Canvas by @Mito
For this run of MT3 /dev/tty, the beige colorway is available and all kits will also contain the striking red ESC and ENTER accent keys. The spherical sculpted MT3 profile is a fantastic typing experience, as many enjoy the way the keycaps cup their fingertips as they type away.
This pre-order is designed to let newcomers (and those who missed the original buy!) that have purchased keyboards like the ALT, CTRL or many of our Ortholinear keyboards, an opportunity to own one of these awesome sets.
Please also note, for your early support these sets are currently available at a pre-order price for a limited time only. After production is complete, they will be available at a regular price.
As always, appreciate the support and enthusiasm from the community.

Hey everyone, wanted to have a chance to address some of the questions and concerns I’ve seen in the discussion pages regarding the keycap collection.
First, I want to assure everyone that this does not mean we'll stop doing the custom keycap sets. Sets like Laser simply would not exist without these type of offerings. For custom keycap sets, we’ve been running them on a monthly basis and will continue to do so. For those who are looking for a great custom GMK set - we have a couple great ones coming up in June and July.
One consistent request we’ve seen for the ALT and CTRL keyboards is additional keycaps. These four sets were designed to showcase the different profiles and designs in the keyboard community and they were designed for various Drop Studio keyboards.
We had picked these four sets because they were all recent offerings (at least by keyboard community standards!). Of course, the custom versions of these runs will still return at some point in the future for people that want to pick from all options for these sets.
YanboWuIt would've been great if 65% kit includes some additional nav keys such as R4 END key for greater flexibility. As much as I'd like to pick this up, it would force me to make config changes every time i swap out keycaps - a minor inconvenience, but inconvenient enough for me to not join.
YanboWuI was so excited to see both pulse and this, only to be sorely disappointed by the very limited sets of caps you are putting out. I have a 65% kb en route right now that your 65% set won't cover because yours assumes a WKL setup. My dz60 certainly can't take any of these limited sets. In trying to put the mass in massdrop you seem to have decided that the involved enthusiasts who were such drivers of the business can be discarded now that you feel like you no longer need us.
I've been wanting both SA Pulse and MT3 /dev/tty for a while now. With both of the offerings I was so excited to see them go up and ready to hand over my cash, only to find that your offerings are literally unusable for me because they are so limited.
YanboWuI notice that quite a few people are curious about wether you've mislabeled the rows on the Ortho kit or not.
You've labeled both bottom rows R4.
Is this the case?
If so I'd imagine the bottom row far too sharp for comfort, unless you flip them 180 degrees north-south, but then all the legends are upside down and that always looks overly janky.
So, is the bottom row really R4 profile or is it flat?
-I'm asking because I'm this close to ordering.
