Hey would you consider selling an alternative base kit which comes with the white alphas set instead of the purple alphas?
I think it would be nice for us who want only the mods + white alphas to save up some $$$ ;)

And why did you remove the shine through caps lock key? it looks amazing!

LED LIGHT CAPS removed?
Why? I love it

I also love them, but if you look closely at the keycap's structure and imagine that the black part is transparent. There will definitely be leakages of light, which will not look very appealing. So, we decided to remove them from the set.

Would opaque tape not fix this? If so it would be nice to have windowed caps and allow buyers to mod them if they are put off by the light bleed.

Obviously I meant buyers could mod them on their own if they were bothered by the light bleed lol.

I've been looking for a non-WoB keyset that looks good on a cream board. This might just be it. A wonderful color.

Hey, just a little update about the set. As you might already have noticed, renderings of the artisan keycap and deskmat have been uploaded. We decided to go with something different on the desk mat here, and we hope you like what you see!

The good news is that KBDFans has completed testing the new material for semi-transparent keycaps. They informed us that there might still be some very small marks around the legend from the manufacturing process, but fortunately there is no more cracking. That makes Pbtfans Vior almost ready for production, and we will start getting vendor orders in ASAP. Our best estimate is around 2–3 months until the quick preorder or in-stock drop. Stay tuned  ;D

Thats fantastic news! I fell in love with this set the moment I saw it, so seeing it potentially delivered in less than half a year is getting me HYPED!

P.S. That deskmat is FIIIIIIIIIREEEEEE!

I've confirmed with Kbdfans that the production will start mid June. The lead time is around 1-1.5 months, so we can realistically expect the set to be ready by mid July or early August 2023.

If this is a pre-order, shouldn't we get orders in before production starts?

PBTfans has been instock drops for the most part

regional vendors can do preorders until their orders arrive from KBDfans (or you order direct if you can not wait)

When you say "quick pre-order" is this meaning limited time, or limited quantities, or both?

Funny how "Colour Comparison" picture shows apparently crooked Enter legend (too big "e") on GMK  ;)
Or maybe it's actually comparison to infamous Alfei or... maybe they are actually making this set?

Good to know PBTFans "fonts" represent flaws on their keycaps but imposing them on another make in "comparison" is not cool.

I don't think you get what those comparison renders mean
