GB Participants - there is a fix kit that will be produced in the near future and sent to those who joined the buy. As far as I know it will also be included in any extras that are eventually sold as well. That said, here is the kit:

Please continue to contact your proxies if you have additional issues with the set - they have purchased extras to account for inconsistencies in the QC and will work with you to get you what you wanted when you joined the buy. I'm sorry for the trouble, but we will resolve this in due time. Much love to you all!

Welcome to the Group Buy thread for PBT Græn [ɡrān]
It will run from April 3, 2020 - May 1, 2020
(https://i.imgur.com/gWS7odo.jpg)
Soothing, mystérieuse, cold, brooding...all and more could be used to describe the main color used in this set.
The one thing I cannot seem to come to an accord with is whether it's a green or a gray...I'm certain it's both.
Ergo: Græn

So, if you're like me, here's some deskmats I like a lot.

Y'all need to chill.
Jae (TopClack) just showed the set on stream and apart from the too high sitting arrow key legends the set looks absolutely perfect.
There is no color fading or any major defects visible on the set and the legends are perfectly aligned.
It's probably just the ****ty lighting in the pics on that zF post.
(What even did this quy try to prove there by comparing the keycap to the box color??? lmao)
Edit: Short clip from the stream: https://clips.twitch.tv/SpunkyCredulousHeronPrimeMe
I just give the *** keycaps to my friend.
You can refer to the pic took by other buyer.

I searched "Infinikey" on Trandmark Office Of National Intellectual Property Administratuin in China. You can see that's the same as brand "無铭诚品".
Here is the Taobao site of it....
https://world.taobao.com/dianpu/155189908.htm?spm=a21wu.12321156-tw.0.0.7342f80fZLIqe4
What exactly is that supposed to prove?
Almost all chinese manufacturers have Taobao stores. Like JWK and ePBT for example.
There's nothing wrong with selling your products directly on some marketplace :confused:
Did you expect these caps to be made in US or what?
Also you should always take the stuff that gets posted on zF with a grain of salt because the community on that page can get somewhat "pent-up" sometimes.
Just an update on the set since it doesn't seem to be here
There is one issue that is widespread among all sets and that is there are 3 missing keys, which is going to be alleviated as soon as possible, this is not on the factory, this was on us when we made the file. They shouldn't impact most layouts but those include
R1 Green Umbrella Novelty
R3 Pgup
R4 Pgdn
Also, there seems to be issues with people receiving more or less keys than what they should've, and some keys having severe fading on all sides. All of this can be found on their discord channel.

Thankfully they're looking to replace all the keys for those affected.
That backspace key looks unevenly dyed and scuffed. Infinikey sure has issues it is acceptable only if TKC is covering/replacing them
