Sweet looks like GMK Muted but PBTI'd say the grayscale gray is more of a neutral gray than muted's gray

Thanks for once again including the International Kit in this ePBT set! This helps us ISO-xx users tremendously :)When I made the accent kit, it was intended to be used with black on white and I wanted it to be its own separate buy.
But is there a reason why there are no ISO enters in the accent kits? ePBT 9009 had accented ISO enters for instance.
At the time, I was looking at the OCO kits as a reference point for what should be included and didn't think too much of it.
In hindsight, they should have been included but at $10, they are priced far too low to really change them at this stage.
I guess what we could consider instead is adding the accents to tbe International kit since none have been sold so far so we wouldn't really be messing with existing kits.

Agreed, I really want it but don't have the money right this moment...hopefully I do before the buy ends because the vertical F keys are perfect for a build I was planning on doing in the future. Plus the accent colors are beautiful.

I thought that it was confirmed that they would be doing pbt muted? Someone told me that they had checked in with kbdfans and that they were told they were just working out some kinks and would be releasing a drop for pbt mute next month. Is this it?

You're missing the fact that the shades of gray in GrayScale are totally different from the shades of beige on 9009.

Unfortunately, I've already submitted the files to Wei a few days ago when I was able to get access to a computer since I'm on annual leave till early January.
If KBDfans are able to wait till then before they pass it on to the manufacturer, I'd be able to add it in but my understanding is that they want to start manufacturing ASAP to ensure that there aren't delays due to the Chinese New Year holidays.

Thanks for taking the time to reply during the holidays! I pm'd Wei and he said its too late as R1 is in production and 'R2 has a long way to go'.
Its not a deal breaker and I love the set anyway, when R2 comes up eventually I'll probably buy that aswell.

I was also wondering about adding a 1.75u Control icon key. Would be such a nice touch and make all the modifiers look very clean and consistent, instead of "Control" standing out amongst the other icon keys. I'm OCD/particular enough to probably wait until R2.

Here is a side-by-side with GMK Muted. Picture taken at night under a lamp. Overall ePBT Grayscale quality is very good (similar to ePBT 9009). ePBT is a touch warmer in tone, but very close color match.

For years, EnjoyPBT / ePBT has been the more obtainable alternative to OG Cherry PBT and Danish BSP PBT caps,
I thought their quality is close except for still a bit behind for the dye-sub part. However, after some years of observations there are a few problems that EnjoyPBT have yet to fix:
- The warping space bars:
Of course PBT is more difficult than ABS, i.e. GMK's ABS to control in terms of shrinkage and straightness when a key is larger, but we have good QC from Taiwan Ducky's PBT spacebar so there's less excuse to say that this cannot be done right. - Their scoop homing keys:
It seems ePBT have not yet fixed their scoop homing keys hitting the top housing of switches problem - ePBT scoop key moulds seem to make the cap thicker than those GMK's homing scoop key mould, resulting in hitting the top housing of switches.
