Just built mine over the weekend, from the september drop, some observerations:
I got the DCS keys, there did not seem to be any keycaps with homing bars, seems like a good option to have. There are no stabilizers for the 1x2 vertical keys in the thumb cluster, the keys feel a tad wobbly. The nuts are all metal, and there are no rubber feet, the keyboard is liable to slip a little when I'm using it. The LEDs are somewhat useless, since there are no windows on the keycaps for the LEDs. Good thing I don't actually use num/caps/scroll lock.
Overally, I'll probably be purchasing keys with homing bars, rubber feet, DSA keycaps for the 1x2 on the thumb clusters (the existing ones feel a bit high), and perhaps keycaps with led windows, if I can figure out how to get the LEDs to indicate layers or otherwise do something useful.
Overall, pretty satisfied with the the parts, minus the issues listed above.

xn.4gqcThe DSA 2x caps are higher than the DCS ones that come with this, so they may be a bit too high if you find the DCS ones high for you.
I personally find that the DCS 2x caps are more comfortable than the DSA ones are after I've gotten used to them after a while. The DCS ones allow your thumb to rest in a more natural position when typing than the DSA ones. The DSA ones make it feel like it's pulling your thumb off to the center of the cap if it's not perfectly centered on the cap.
But yes I can agree that there should be some bump or bar homing caps in this for either cap type. I bought some clear DCS bump homing caps for mine after I put it together.
