My Kingdom for Smooth ABS SA Keycaps
Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...

So excited to finally announce this Scrabble-themed mechanical keyboard!
This really is, literally, a dream come true for me. I designed this board back last year after waking up from a dream where I could type on Scrabble pieces. Fast forward to now, and it's happening!
It was really important to me to have a keyboard as an option for people (not just keycaps). I know there are a lot of Scrabble players out there who don't necessarily build a bunch of keyboards in their spare time, and this is the perfect bundle for them! I'll personally be showing this to some word game-loving family members. :)
If you have questions, feel free to ask. Until then, here's some info you might find interesting! Every element of the design of this set was taken into careful consideration. The fonts for the letters and numbers match the Scrabble branding down to the width and spacing. The colors were picked from actual Scrabble sets. I went through several individually and picked colors that were about average across them (since it varies depending on when sets were sold). Plus, the shapes of the XDA keycaps were perfect for Scrabble tiles!
Thanks for playing, and helping real dreams come true!
Yes, that's correct.
