[GB] ePBT Axolotls | kono shipping soon, Alphakeys reappeared

[unicorn855]

I see, thank you I don't have/use Insta so I don't generally know what happens there, but it's good to know that the mat samples were approved Since I am in the EU, I ordered the mat from Mykeyboard, so I can expect them to be arriving in about a month or two (or at least be on the lookout for a discord ping there). That's fine, nice to hear that all is slowly but surely working out as intended

This set is stunning. OMG

No update on samples

Any day now

Discord convo regarding samples. 

Mats are completed and shipping to vendors according to Zion Studio, the vendor in charge of mats. Kono elected to produce their own mats

I don't know if it is funny, but I find it remarkable that a keycap set titled Axolotls is taking this absurdly long to move forward (I am completely aware that none of those delays are TyPo.mk's fault), it's almost as if, just like for the axolotl, time has lost some of its meaning
Still, it's great that the mats are completed and to be expected at the vendors soonish 

That you for continually posting updates here

Epbt refuses to undergo metamorphosis!

Going off the photo, I feel that the legend color is still more saturated than renders but at this point I don't know if its different enough to warrant delaying the set even further and they may be as good as its going to get. I'll wait to see it with my own eyes before passing judgement

[TyPo.mk]

These samples are approved.
I think all the cap colors are PERFECT, the legend color is certainly more saturated than the renders and the chosen Pantone. I’m told the legend color was matched as closely to 217u as epbt can get so we’re going to move into production.

Mats have been shipped to vendors

Keycap colors look great! Shame about the legends...I'm not unhappy with how the final product will turn out (based on your photos) but EPBT's entire sampling process seems totally ridiculous. Looking forward to having fun with all the cute accent colors and novelties when this eventually ships though!

[phrj]

The deeper legend colour looks like it changes the whole vibe of the set from that sample pic, at least to me. Will see how they look in person I guess. At least it's progress.

I asked about potentially another try at this color and to confirm they were matching 217U  and I’ve been told it’s as close as they can get so not really much else I can do. I told them it was too dark in the previous round of samples (7 months ago) and it’s maybe 1% lighter this time. I guess whatever method epbt is using now makes it difficult to hit these pastels with dyesub.

I will say in daylight the alpha legends look softer pink (less red hued) than the factory photo above but I’m struggling to capture it with my camera (I only have a phone camera atm)

For those of you not on my instagram

[TyPo.mk]

Production should complete in 2 weeks

Looks fantastic!

Production has completed and this is ready to ship to vendors.

[TyPo.mk]

I was lead to believe the vendor in charge of deskmats had shipped the other vendors their mats back and December (and no one else told me otherwise) but it seems there was a mix up and they never sent them until recently, hopefully mats arrive to vendors soon.

Also, Alphakeys.ca has gone radio silence and closed their discord to messages. They are not answering messages to arrange for shipping of the deskmats (keycap shipping was arranged awhile back)
If you’re an alphakeys customer do you best to contact them, I don’t know if they’re fulfilling orders at all or have gone out of business. It’s probably worth contacting your CC company/paypal if you bought from them.

[hiadica]

That’s quite unfortunate. I joined the gb through alphakeys, and have since switched banks, so I can’t even contact them for a refund. I sent a message to Mike (owner of alphakeys) and no reply… sounds like I might be sol ?

I’m trying to work on a solution but no promises

I should have my keycaps tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing how they've come out.

[TyPo.mk]

I’m fulfilling Alphakeys KEYCAP orders myself, if you bought from them and haven’t already contacted me please reach out over discord - typo.mk or instagram- @typo.mk

I’m missing 8 customers contact info!

I unfortunate cannot fulfill his deskmat orders (he never paid the manu)

[lordvader89a]

Are there any updates for mykeyboard.eu? There still hasn't been any notification from their side...

[TyPo.mk]

Kono has received their shipment and it will be shipping out soon
Alphakeys apparently had all vendor emails go to spam and a dog ate his homework but he is back now and will receive the sets soon
I reached out to mykeeb for an update

[lordvader89a]

Thanks for asking them directly too...Have they answered already? My email from 1w ago has not gotten a reply yet :/

[lordvader89a]

I have finally gotten a reply by mykeyboard.eu, but I am not sure whether I should laugh:

>Hello, we are expect shipment to arrive within coming months. please contact us if by the end of November you still >
haven't heard from us.

What?

[HolySwitch]

The set looks fantastic, amazing work!
