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.

All this can be seen in the pictures below, which come directly from the designer's Massdrop poll.
In my opinion, this is one of the coolest designs I've seen. I personally love the look of Aurebesh, and the color selection is fantastic. If you'd like to have this design on your keyboard, check out the poll linked below and let the designer know what you think about his keycap set. There are some other layout options there as well.
