Description

DSA Custard

Introducing the latest keycap project: DSA Custard. This keycap set is inspired by the colour palette of classic French pastries, capturing the rich, creamy tones reminiscent of custard.

Design Concept: The DSA Custard keycap set is crafted in the DSA profile, known for its uniform height across all rows, which enhances typing comfort and adaptability. This profile is ideal for various keyboard layouts, including compact 40% keyboards and models such as the Filco Minila Air and Minila-R.

While the colour inspiration is derived from custard, this shade will not be used extensively across the keycaps. Instead, the custard-like YCC colour will be thoughtfully applied to the legends, reflecting its role as a defining flavour in French desserts rather than dominating the set.

Current Progress: Collaboration with SP is currently underway to order colour samples to ensure the final production colours match the design vision. SP’s production timeline is on track, with an estimated production time of 10 to 12 weeks. All colours will utilise SP’s existing colour samples; however, apart from YCC, other colours are yet to be finalised. Colour samples will be provided and the post updated before the group buy begins.

Additionally, this keycap set will feature large Alpha legends, similar to the alpha area of DSA Hana, enhancing the typing experience.

Why DSA Profile? The DSA profile’s uniform height makes it highly adaptable to various rare and compact keyboard layouts. Its consistent typing experience ensures excellent comfort across both standard and unconventional layouts.

Feedback is welcomed, and it is hoped that the DSA Custard keycap set generates the same excitement within the community!
