zjohnston1995It's coming along! Check the IC page over on Geekhack for more up-to-date updates! It won't be released through Drop so my updates here are a bit slower (although I'm trying to keep them up too). Proxies are done. The Key Company for the US, mykeyboard.eu for the EU, Daily Clack for AUS and iLouis for Asia. Kit pricing is being teased out. New (kit) renders by Oblotzky are upcoming. OutragedPudding (GMK Taro) has done a couple of novelties. I'm also looking into matching artisans for synced raffles. So yeah. Coming along. Keep your eyes peeled! ;)

Love this set. Is XDA a possible alternative as backup? Humbly submit that I'd prefer XDA over DSA, though not a dealbreaker - this set is stunning enough that I'd buy it in any profile! Hope things chill out for you in coming months.

Great that you're back and your son is on the mend, that's fantastic news! Still definitely in on this one as I'm sure are many others. All the best moving forward.

I see two different font sizes in the renders. Classic DSA with oversized legends on the base set and TINY legends on all of the subsequent set renders (numpad, etc...) Which style of legend will the sets have?

KujoThe intention is for the whole keyset to have regular DSA legends. The child kits are not finished renders, but more like sketches done in the online tool KLE-render. This helps as they are still being tweaked.

sigulWhat do you mean? This is an interest check for a keyset. The keyset is divided into various kits. A standard full size keyboard would be covered by Alphas+Modifiers+Numpad Kit. If you meant the keyboard in the render, it's a generic MX HHKB keyboard. Examples of such are: RAMA M60-A, Tokyo60, Noxary X60, Duck Viper etc.

Just looking for an update on this projects status. Not in a rush for the drop but hoping for some semi regular updates to see how things are going. 👍

gtobiast13Hi! It's still in the plans, but has been on ice for a while because of IRL family matters; e.g. flu, chickenpox, Easter holiday, travelling etc. It's sort of just kept stacking up. Things are looking better now, but I've felt a little drained recently so just trying to catch up on things in general. Aiming for an update soon! Thank you for asking! :)

controlAwesome, can’t wait to see this drop! I know timing is hard to say but can you guess when this will drop, like at least the year and quarter? Q4, sooner or earlier?

Greek Themed Keyboard!
Drop should make a keyboard in the style of ancient grecian art. Like tans and whites and deep reds with columns and vases and clouds and stuff ya know.

Suggestion: Drop should make a budget barebones kit.
Drop has marketshare in many areas, but they appear to not have any cheap barebones kits (sub 50$) currently available. They could do something like the CIY tester 68, MG75, or MG108 (ideally a 65%) . This could be a keyboard that would be a great entryway into mechanical keyboards, and have drop be recognized as a budget player more. It could also have deals that encourage you to buy other drop products alongside it (IE: keycaps 10$). It could also work as a 'travel keyboard' which one would bring travelling with them or just something fairly cheap to not be super careful with and just test out whatever.

Nintendo's Family BASIC Keyboard?
Hi, I just got my first personal Drop keyboard a week ago (High-Profile ALT) and I'm loving it so far. Tried a few different keycaps and decided to my shock that I don't actually like how MT3 feels and went back to OEM profile. Anyway, I've been looking at the keycaps that are available and while many look cool, none of them really speak to me. Then I realized what would: Keycaps styled after the Nintendo Family BASIC Keyboard, used with the Famicom (NES in the U.S.) Disk System to teach programming. It's kind of generic, but the Japanese and gray-and-red color scheme would be perfect. The arrow and function keys would have to be shrunk to standard size, but I think it would really look good, especially if Drop released beige casings to go with it. Would this be of any interest to anyone else? Or have I completely missed a keycap set that would hit this mark?

Flashing my new drop keyboard
Hello, I have received my new drop keyboard I was attempting to flash it using the Drop configurator software however when I do FN Left Control Backspace and use the flash function it disconnects. No matter what other flash option I choose my keyboard stops showing up in the configurator. The only option I found I can return to is the stock option. Sorry for my confusion I have never done this before.

A little frustrated by the Keyboard Club
Not sure what other's experience has been... but the Keyboard Club has been a pretty frustrating experience for me. The discount is supposed to be $30-100 USD. I looked at my history today, and there have only been a handful of times - IN 3 YEARS! - where my discount was more than $30. The odds of a deeper discount at a time I'm actually ready to buy are worse than the Powerball. I wish that Drop would start advertising this for what it is: Pay for the Club and you'll get $30 discount per month. It feels like it would be more honest than what we're seeing right now. After 3 years I canceled. I just can't justify paying for discounts that are (almost) always at the lowest end of the promised range.

DSA Season of the Witch was first presented in Massdrop's Community Keycap Set Design Contest, autumn 2017. I've continued working on it since then at a slow but steady pace and now it's time for the next step forward. A Massdrop poll is now open. As always, all feedback is welcome.

Update 2018-06-15 Hello. As I'm sure you've noticed, things have been slow going for the past few months. This has been due to family matters stacking up during the spring semester. I assure you I haven't dropped the project. Apologies for the silence. Some of you have asked about the project's status. Massdrop will be planning keysets for late 2018/early 2019 and the present aim is for DSA Season of the Witch to find its way into a slot during that timeframe. Is there a backup plan if this doesn't happen? Yes. But first things first. Let's have a shot at dropping this via Massdrop, shall we? :)
Update 2019-03-29 Apologies are in order. The long hiatus has been due to family matters taking up much more time than expected. Among them, the worst being the family trauma when my son fell severely ill, which nearly cost him his life. I'm so happy to be able to say that he's still with us today and doing well despite his injuries. I realize I should've made some kind of public notification about keyset development being halted and for this I apologize. I'd like to get back in the saddle with this and would like to do so by starting off with a poll to gather community feedback on kit design. I have worked on this with a glacial pace in the background, but feel like I'm at a point when some critical choices need to be made and I'd like your input to better visualize in which direction I should steer the keyset. Take the poll here. I'll keep it active for a month from today's date.
Update 2019-04-18 Major kit revision. Mono alphas with an optional kit for secondary numerics. Alphas, modifiers and secondary numerics support ISO UK. Consequently the NORDE kit has fewer keys. Ortho and 40s are one single kit. The Ergodox kit also supports the UniGo66. The second ALT key is replaced with ALT GR consistently throughout all kits. Vortex and Minila keyboards supported as a separate kit. Please note that the kit images are downloaded .png files from KLE and as such are meant first and foremost to illustrate the kit layouts rather than being correct renders of key profile and legend sizes. The aim is to add novelties in a couple of weeks. The kit layout poll will close 2019-04-29.
Update 2019-05-13 Everything is moving ahead. Proxies are ready for the EU (mykeyboard.eu), the US (TKC) and Australia (Daily Clack). An Asian proxy is hopefully underway soon. I've gotten a first quote from Melissa at Signature Plastics. Work on novelties will hopefully start during this week. I closed the poll a few days later than planned because I forgot about it. I've gone through your responses and hope I have addressed most in kit rev. 2 already, but there'll be a few more tweaks down the road as well. We have exciting times ahead!
Update 2019-11-05 Hello. DSA SOTW is still alive. Here is the long awaited novelties update. This is a keyset that would've felt awkward to release without novelties. Commissioning novelties took quite some time as the work had to pass hands and real life troubles caused delays. Now they are here and I hope you'll feel it's been well worth the wait. OutragedPudding has done one hell of a job to translate two iconic images from the movie Halloween III, the jack-o'-lantern and the silver shamrock, to doubleshot ABS novelties. Final kit renders by Oblotzky will be added soon. They are getting their final tweaks and with the novelties here, we should be all set to move towards the final countdown [sings Europe in falsetto].
