DSS Dolch

Dolch is the first custom set to be produced on the recently re-commissioned DSS tooling. This tooling was built in the early 80's to offer a sculptured look to the popular DSA profile. It is a medium height profile, shorter than SA, with a textured spherical touch surface and smooth sided like DSA. The DSS family had a relatively short life as it lost it's commercial appeal to the DCS family which had a more popular cylindrical touch surface. Old keyboards populated with the DSS family would be a rare and valuable find today.

Colors are the same as DSA Dolch and are ABS: GE (light gray); GX (dark gray); RA (red).

Future DSS sets will only be run in ABS material. PBT blanks or sublimated keys will not be an option for this family.

You can purchase individual keys by selecting the individual key option from the drop down menu and the putting the description of the key you want to purchase in the order comments section at checkout (this is a box below the shipping address form).

What is the DSS Profile? DSS offers the textured, spherical touch surface of DSA in a medium-height profile that's shorter than tall SA keycaps. A classic style from the early 80s, DSS keycaps had a relatively short life as they lost commercial appeal to the DCS family. We've re-re-commissioned are DSS tooling to bring them back!
