Welcome to the official discussion thread for the DSA Royal Navy group-buy!

DSA profile double-shot keycaps available to UK and European buyers without the worry of insane shipping prices or import tax/customs fees!

ISO-UK keys included in base alphas and mods so you don't need to pay an obscene amount for an ISO-UK board.

Lots of child deals available for specialist layouts!

Here is a render of the keyset:

Purchase a set here!

I would probably buy it it was SA profile! (really hate DSA)

nice to see full EURO addon though ;)

Would have also been interested if they were SA.

DSA is too thin for my taste

I totally love the colors... I guess it is ABS and unfortunately no options to create an HHKB style layout :(

Thing is, if you want a decent set of keycaps this side of Christmas, it isn't going to be SA. Jukebox has a ship date of November which is the only SA set I'm aware of that is currently open to orders.

Guess again Cookie:

One nitpick about the render: it looks like SA to me. (Albeit in flat row 3.) DSA looks curvier than that in reality:

I've tried both in flat profile. SA is horrible when all row 3. DSA does a much better job at centering you on each key when flat.

Very nice set, congratulations on the very well picked EURO kit.

My heart may be beating for Otto Kretschmer but my mind could not resist this sweet keycap set!

A Royal Navy set with a "Europe" and a "French" kit. Lord Nelson wouldn't approve.

Very nice kit though.

Blue colour is BBI, red colour is RA and white is WCK

MOQ has been hit for base and mods meaning this will go ahead 100%. Other kits will soon hit MOQ too I'm sure :D

Sweet GB finished ... any news on the International kit?
Very worried about that.

Brilliant way of handling the rather low count of NORDE kit orders. I am so pleased to see this GB happen!

Great to see you sold out the EURO kits!

Always hurts me to see EURO/International kits left ...

For those who didn't get the email:
DSA Royal Navy Shipping Update 3 - The Final Stretch!
The image above is an image of DSA Royal Navy in natural light. Unfortunately the nature of this email is to inform of a further delay to the shipping of the keysets.

Signature Plastics have sent all the keycaps to MechSupply as 6 seperate consignments, 3 of these cosignments have arrived and therefore real images of the keyset can be showcased. However, shipping cannot begin until the reamining 3 boxes arrive. These packages are being held currently in UK customs, pending review of paperwork which has been submitted. Therefore the exact date of shipping cannot be estimated due it depending on how fast customs processes the remaining packages. A rough estimation of 2 weeks from this date is appropriate.
Therefore the new estimated date for the start of shipping is 28th of November 2016. Apologies for the delay in shipping of this group-buy and for any inconvenience caused. I appreciate there have been numerous delays to this group-buy, however all have been out of the control of MechSupply. If you would like to cancel your order and receive a refund, this is still a possibility. Reply to this email if you have any questions or queries regarding the group-buy.

For those who have read this far, here is a non-cropped, higher resolution version of the banner images above.

How everything going?

They posted an update on the thread on GeekHack, and the gist of it is that they're shipping UK and EU orders first, are about 26% done shipping, and plan to be completely done shipping by the 12th of December.

Also, Tracking info emails are not automatic. If you require tracking please wait until 4th Dec to request.

Around 65% shipped currently. Shipping % is updated each night around 8pm GMT

You can request your tracking number via the contact page on the website.

Hey, folks!

I know that I'm too late and I am aware that my question may sound profoundly dumb, but anyway: is there any info on the chances (and dates) of this particular keycap set being on sale again? On a related note - maybe there's someone who got tired of his/her Royal Navy keycaps and would like to part with them for a competitive price?)
