I love SP and was pretty broken up about this when I found out. We use SP keycaps exclusively on our SCRAMBLE [1] and while we could certainly switch to a different vendor and save money, the quality and experience wouldn’t be the same.<p>Fingers crossed they find a good buyer.<p>1: <a href="https://nullbits.co/scramble/" rel="nofollow">https://nullbits.co/scramble/</a>
Having bought a few sets from Signature Plastics and a few other places, I have to say I'm impressed with their quality. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but they feel nicer than some other manufacturers I've seen. Hope they can find a good buyer.
After trying the original cherry profile, I've lost interest in all the other profile variations.<p>I don't like most of their profiles like DCS (too thin, it makes an ugly sound), or SA (not ergonomical). They make no sense commercially.<p>From the business aspect, it's incredible that they couldn't forsee some market changes like the rise of offshore manufacturers.<p>Surely the article is very interesting. A great read :-)
Wow what a nice article. Funny, I'm typing on a set of Signature Plastics DSA keycaps right now, and I had no idea they were designed in the 80s.<p>Really nostalgic to read about the history of this company.<p>And also, I've had Melissa Petersen personally respond to my emails and she's a wonderful person :)
