Figured I may as well spread the IC to Deskthority and see if I can drum up some interest! First time here, be gentle

DSA Sencha
Based off the hues and origins of Sencha, a Japanese green tea, SA Sencha has light green (VAV) + dark green (VF) mods alongside it's yellow-white (YCC) alphas. Sencha is an ABS set.
The add-ons (as of now) are some novelties (which I would especially appreciate feedback on), a numpad kit, icon mods, an Ergodox kit, a Planck kit, a ISO kit, a JD40/MiniVan kit, and a alternate number row featuring the numbers and symbols in Kanji.

Questions for You:
-Interested in buying?
-DSA or SA? (or GMK?)
-Thoughts on the kits?
-Do you like the novelties? What novelties do you think need to be added?
-Did I mess anything up?

Not interested (I don't understand why so many people feel compelled to design still another coloured set anyway),
but I'd like to point out to you that this place, where you registered just in order to start this interest check,
is neither Geekhack nor /r/mk, but Deskthority, also known as DT.

Considering that your set contains a pair of both Geekhack and /r/mk keycaps,
I find it quite silly, and in fact almost offensive, from you to ask us:

Not interested. Pre-yellowed keycaps seem a bit ludicrous to me.

I like tea, though. Particularly Jasmine.

I am a total sucker for colorful caps, at the end I will always return to my beloved HHKB white blanks. This is where I feel home, this is where I like to be.

That "Sencha" is not my cup of tea, I am more of a Darjeeling guy.

*yes low pun was intended*

Glad to provide a laugh.

I think these caps would look good on an organic keyboard case. Hardwood or bamboo would be necessary for the warm tones to make sense.

Would look really neat on that bamboo Xmit hall effect keyboard that's up on Massdrop now. Not sure how it would look with a more traditional case though – a light beige is fine, but this is a bit too yellow for me.

I really like the japanese/chinese numrow though. But would SP really be able to get those fine details right?

That's what I was thinking too. I was a beta tester for those keyboards. Black Cherry doubleshots also look quite nice on them.
