[York Chan]

Are the bars convex?

All bars are convex

Any news on EU proxy? Excited to buy this set

Sales aspect I gave KBDfans full responsibility, about the information of proxy please communicate with KBDfans

[York Chan]

Love this keyset, this is unlimited group buy ?
i will buy in 30 July )

Yeah it’s unlimited. Every keycap set is unlimited in GB

There have been a few limited keycap sets (DSA Drifter, KAT Drifter) due to licensing restrictions, but you're right that this is very rare. 

Yes, and all kit will not have moQ

I had the same question, deskhero.ca mentioned candykeys (DE) as a proxy.
Asked them and they confirmed... not when though, so replied again. Hopefully hear more tomorrow or someone here can share more.

[gecruz]

Is it possible to only get some of the secondary kits?

Are the F/J homing keys barred and scooped like ePBT 9009, etc. or just barred?

[ArashiNishi]

Rlly nice set york I would love to see a render on a darker blue keeb like a rama u80-a lake, is it possible?

I will post to Instagram when I have time

I just saw the renders on Instagram, they look great, thx!

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question

Do you refer to the bumps on F and J keys? I just see them with the bump and aren't extra F and J keys included on the sets.

Do you refer to the bumps on F and J keys? I just see them with the bump and aren't extra F and J keys included on the sets.

On many of the other ePBT sets (using ePBT Gray Japanese for pictures), the F and J have two features to aid homing:
1. The standard bars/bumps at the bottom of the keycaps
2. The keycaps are scooped instead of flat, so that your fingers can naturally sink into them.

Here is an image of the D vs. F keycaps where you can see the scoop:


I'd also like to know whether this set has the scoops, since they're (IMO) a very nice feature Thanks!

[bansheetango]

All the latest ePBT sets have had them, it's very likely these will be the same.

Still waiting on CandyKeys, oof...

Assuming this render from the OP is correct, the F shows that scooped & barred features are combined on a single homing key.

I mailed them as well, good for them to know the set has alot of interests, will make them post it sooner.
I guess they have more to add and spread it out a bit.
today GMK Sumi was placed on their GB page.
I hope they'll add Kon Momo today or tomorrow.

Yes, this rendering is correct, without the addition of normal F and D keys.

[guybrush]

Right, apparently CandyKeys were waiting on pricing. Will be up by midnight tonight, and the GB will run longer to make up for lost time.

[kajahtaa]

Nomad kind of expensive but now I'm sold. Joined.

I hate the EU prices

Dang like 40% higher than from KBDFans, what happened?

Eu happened :s
Dont really know why EU has to pay so much for everything.
Also funny thing : GMK is from GERMANY

[deedz]

Might be a dumb question but; are these keycaps cherry profile? Also, does anyone know the thickness of these keycaps?

[bansheetango]

From kbdfans:

GB starts on July 10, ET, and ends on July 30.

    Kon Momo
    Pbt material
    Cherry profile
    Dye-sub and Five-sided sublimation
    Designed by York Chan
    Produced by Enjoypbt

Expected shipping date: October 30

As for the thickness, it's probably the same as all the other ePBT/Gateron sets, 1.4-1.5mm.

Does anyone know if there's a US proxy for this set? It sounds like there are proxies but I haven't been able to find a list of them...

Thanks!

Sorry but I'm still confused - is this set going to have homing keys that are BARRED ONLY? I.e. barred, but NOT SCOOPED?

Yes, this rendering is correct, without the addition of normal F and [J] keys.

There is only one F and one J keycap offered.  The geometry is both scooped & barred combined on a single keycap.  There are no other options for these two keycaps (no non-homing, no only-scooped, no only-barred.)  Hope that helps clear things up.

Crystal. Thanks! I wish ePBT would start to offer barred only homing keys. Can't stand that scooped nonsense.

Just jumped in for more kits than originally planned GLWGB!

Does anyone know if KBDFans is against buying non-GB items at the same time? I couldn't find anything about it but bought a few packs of switch films at the same time.

yeah both were missing from the first reports (or whatever you call those). in the last one it’s clearly there that both kits were started to sell a week later. first i was gonna ask what happened with the short bar 5 kit but it looks like you can buy it somewhere. i’m gonna write an email to candykeys to add the missing kit. thanks for the email address!

I hope people aren't sleeping on this. I'm always surprised that GMK sets cost so much more and still sell better.

[TheAutoManCan]

I hope people aren't sleeping on this. I'm always surprised that GMK sets cost so much more and still sell better.

It's not surprising when there is a mentality that GMK is "the best" and that ePBT is "mediocre". There's a line where enthusiasts are willing to spend a bit extra to get something that is considered better.

To me it's silly because my Extended 2048 set was perfect. Clean legends and straight spacebars. Recent GMK sets have had iffy legends and warped spacebars. Even if ePBT sets still come with warped spacebars they can be easily straightened. You can't fix doubleshot legends or warped ABS spacebars very easily.

[Rayndalf]

GMK novelty legends are damn near perfect, I wish they'd remake the rest of their tooling at least once every decade.

I guess I appreciate all keycaps, but dyesubs are so cost effective and accommodating (easily supporting multicolored legends and new fonts and icons).

If you receive a distorted spacebar contact your vendor to replace it until it is straight up

[draggehn]

Life got busy and I missed this one -- whoops. What are the chances there will be extras later on down the line? (Mostly interested in the numpad keycaps, since I'm planning to build one soon.)
