Hello! I'm Plop, CEO and founder of Plop Laboratories.
Here at Plop Labs, we strive to bring beautiful keycap sets straight to your Dorito powder-covered fingertips. We recently teamed up with a talented crew of kindergarten students to design the most blindingly colorful set yet. Introducing, ePBT Ping.
(https://i.imgur.com/UCLAtsz.gif)
The development of ePBT ping was a long and painful journey. What initially started as a wingding typeface-inspired set, took more twists and turns than a daytime soap opera. After months of redesigning, color picking/matching, existential dreading, followed by two hours of sobbing, and consuming an unhealthy amount of caffeine, Ping was born. Epbt Ping was meticulously crafted with the utmost attention to detail. From its fully custom Latin alphas to its unnecessary hotkey sub legends and vibrant colors. It's designed to help compensate for your lack of any cherishable personality.

I feel like I'm commenting on every ic just to beg for an extra tab on an alpha kit

Would buy but im on perma do not disturb mode, glwic, creative set :snod:
-
love the colors

the icon kit would be just oh so perfect for a macro pad
-
Please consider adding a R3 1u pipe key to either the base or the iso kit.
-
Ooh I like. Must buy
-
You really went all out for this one, glwic son
-
please activate your OS... this is unacceptable
-
oh damn

you really went all out on this, for some reason it looks ultra clean even when its also super busy at the same time
you nailed it, glwic

Heya Plop. Set looks fantastic & the IC is a hoot. Any considerations for Mod Pipe / tilde would be much appreciated. This was a non-issue for Ramenstop. Really digging the level of effort you put in here!
-
Please consider mod pipe and tilde. Also I think one of the labeled 1.75u shifts is 1.5u if I’m not blind. Definitely in for the icons kit. Good luck!
-
This is HOT -- glwic plop!
-
This is a really nice set! I like the style of this and Ramenstop, especially the icons. Would love to see you try another profile sometime. KAM or DSA would be perfect for such great novelties/icons, so you can put them anywhere on a board :-X

this is adorable oml
Mod pipe and tilde please.
Are the two shifts to the left of the 2u shift both 1.75?
My bias ass loves the idea of alice bars being shoved into 40s to help sell those kits, but I don't personally think that's good for everyone, especially with epbt where child kits don't have an moq.
-
What a lovely set. Beautiful icons and legends! Love the details that went into your kitting presentation. Good luck with your IC!
-
the accents look dope! great design
-
Loove the color and the novs! Though I do have my doubts on whether or not pbt dyes are actually able to achieve that level of saturation and brightness.
GLWIC!

What kind of fat slob just walks around with dorito powder on his hands? Wash your hands chunks.
-
Love the accent colors :thumb:
-
Sublegends available for the ISO kit? Loving it otherwise.
-
Very naisu!
-
ok, I'm back!
I'll start going over the IC feedback soon.
-
Icons in the base kit and numpad kit are dope!
-
I love this and I would immediately reserve it if there was a French option.
Very good job and I love the set.
GLWIC :thumb:
-
I really like this!
-
Minor kitting updates, more coming soon.

LITERALLY COOMING
-
Not looking for a keycap set right now, but I have to say I can really see you have put a lot of effort in this, congrats.
Good luck!
-
What a beautiful set! I'm not usually a fan of alternate Mod/Alpha colours, but the sublegends and the Icon kit really make this set work. Can't wait to see more!
-
I am usually not a fan of sublegends, but I am definitely a fan of THESE sublegends.
-
This is interesting, I like :thumb:

Not bad, glwic

Love this set! Any chance for a little function row media keys kit. Vol up, vol down, play/pause, next song? That would be epicccc
-
Lot of fun. Nice option while waiting on Playground.

LITERALLY COOMING
Plop! Thanks for throwing mod pipe and tilde friends in there. I will show my appreciation for you by picking up this set. <3
-
Clean and fresh looking. Thank you for UK ISO in a kit and interested.
-
Thanks for the updates for the UK-ISO sublegends, although wouldn't the # ~ key want to be blank and move the sublegend from # ~ to ' @ as then it would match up with the ANSI sublegend layout? Otherwise one of them is repeated. Please excuse the extremely awful MS Paint skills.

Now for begging time, not sure how it works with ePBT MOQs, but options at all for a ISO friendly Hiragana kit?
-
Love this one so much, new to the whole MK thing, but will definitely buy this one!
-
Any new updates on this one?
-
3 bar kits :eek:
-
Lovely IC, love the tongue in cheek humor, good job :thumb:
You ought to move the R4 1u \| key from base to the ISO kit.
-
Can we get an R3 1u backlash/pipe in the ISO kit please?
-
Reminds me a lot of bento. but i like the work you have done on the novelties and design, not so much the colors

Nomad will have 3 1u R4 return?
-
Can someone help me figure out what sets I'd need for the ergodox?
-
Are the row numbers correct in the "nomad" kit? That's a lot of R4

That was a typo, I just fixed it earlier today and should hopefully be updated on the vendors' site by now

Fantastic; thank you!

You need a lot of 1.5 and 2u caps and there are no 1.5u in row 1 profile in this set. That said there are 6xRow 4 and 2xRow 2 1.5u in the Base kit so you could use 2 of them on Row 1, it would just feel weird. There are 2 row 3 1.5u in the Nomad kit, so you could buy 2xNomad kit to have enough 1.5us. Then in base there are shift and backspace caps to cover 2x2u, and you would need either Num kit or Minibars to cover the other 2. The bottom row 1us could be covered between Base and Minibars, I have no idea what profile you want on the thumb keys but you have plenty of 1us left in the base.
So Base, Minibars, and 2x Nomad should cover it.
Personally I would look for another set with an Ergodox kit or a lot of blanks as sideways legends and mismatched profiles would annoy me but it's your board :thumb:

Gorgeous set. No stepped ctrl or F13 makes it a pass for me, alas. Great colors though. perfect blue and red shades, Kudos, indeed!

Only two hours of sobbing?
Love the set! Eagerly waiting for RamenStop to arrive :)

Plop listened! I had no choice but to buy. RIP this month's budget.
