Speaking of whites!
Safe to say we're all talking about PBT? The browns look promising too.
Choices choices!

As for blanks I vote for pure white and/or pure black.

But white... WDG? WAN?

Blanks are exactly where I'm at.
"Pure" white and black are definitely good options. But looking at that set above, I can see a tasty threesome of WFJ, WDG & WCX for a super subtle tritone. Perhaps too subtle.
I wonder if even Signature Plastics can reliably see the difference?

The beauty lies in the subtleness! Bi/tritone would be nice but only if very subtle, otherwise I still prefer the pureness of blanks.
As for white... I think I'm ok with WDG, WAN or even WFJ (looks frosty
)

I can set up my custom order form (used for DSA Retro) for this GB if it's PBT dye sub (with blank options) BUT I can't take care of shipping and payments.
Please note that PBT and ABS have different tooling (most notably I doubt there's any tooling for spacebars), so we would have to make a layout and ask SP what they can and can't do.
Also if it's dye sub'd I demand full ISO support.

Hi matt3o. Thank you very much for proposing yourself to organize it. I would propose myself to take care of sorting and shipping if I was not at Brazil (customs holds imported good for months and taxes the hell out of it).
Regarding the space bar, I prefer the bended PBT over the straight ABS (because it's still PBT and we're guaranteed that the color will perfectly match the rest), but I don't know if others think the same way.
I have some sets of PBT (DCS) with slightly bended spacebar and it's not so easy to notice it, unless you consciously try it or look the keyboard at 0° angle (my convention: top view = 90º). And if we were to be worried with that issue, maybe we should reject Right Shift as well, because it is slightly bended too.

I think I might follow this group buy.
I take it DSA flat profile keys? How are they to type on?

I never got an answer on the windowed caps. I believe I see one in the images in OP. Are they from SP?damorgue wrote:Can they do them in PBT if they are blank? Are those windowed caps in DSA profile?
