DCS Cafe | 7 Feb - 10 Mar 2025

DCS Cafe



My co-runner Ken and I have always loved the GMK Cafe set. With the growing popularity of DCS, we thought right now is a great time to run this. We've made sure to get the approval from the original designer of Cafe to run this as well.
In an effort to keep the colors as true to the GMK Cafe as possible, the colors for DCS Cafe are:
Alphas: SP stock “WEA” to substitute for GMK L9
Modifiers: RAL 8019 https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-classic/ral-8019-grey-brown
Accents: RAL 1001 https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-classic/ral-1001-beige

Comparison Pictures (Stock vs RAL)
*For the IRL pictures, we used the original GMK keycaps, only two colors are shown here because the 3rd color was originally already using a stock SP color, and won't be changing, but if you would like to see a comparison shot, please let us know.
