Feedback Highlights

Positive (8)

  • "Love the look of this. GLWIC!"

  • "This is so fun and unique. Haven't seen a centered sculpted keyset in a long time."

  • "I love the idea of DCS beige and the front-legends."

  • "Great concept that you took an original inspo and ran with it."

  • "I like how you rolled 40's / ortho / accents all into one kit."

  • "That vintage look - as if it needs some."

  • "I agree that I wish the alt alphas were in base, but I also understand how much it increases the cost."

  • "Will you consider an ergo kit as well?"

Negative (6)

  • "The large centered legends just ruins it for me TBH."

  • "Vintage and 40's, those 2 things don't go together."

  • "Haven't actually looked at a centered legends DCS set in like 5 years."

  • "The renders look overtextured."

  • "I wish the extension alphas was part of the main base kit like in the previous renders."

  • "Are the 10u bars 7u stabbed or normal 10u stabbed?"

Suggestions (4)

  • Consider adding standard 'Caps Lock' and 'Fn' keys as well.

  • It would look better with a full size or 120 render.

  • Collaboration with artisans for minibars is a good idea.

  • Think about removing the 10u size.

Questions (3)

  • Do you really intend to make new molds for almost every key?

  • Will you consider an ergo kit as well?

  • Are the 10u bars 7u stabbed or normal 10u stabbed?
