Did ePBT ever make non scooped homing keys (originally for Kuro/Shiro)? I think they look nicer than the scoop + bump they normally use

I'm not sure, but I'm going to try to see if we can do barred only. It should be possible since they have barred 5 for numpad.

Sweet! I have an irrational hatred of 'barred + scooped' homing keys (I'll stay out if the barred vs. scooped debate, because both are good, reasonable choices), and I dream of a world where such monstrous things are a distant memory.

Jokes aside, ePBT's old homing keys bring to mind their older sets (which are still regularly stocked by a few vendors), but markedly less refined (and more warped) than ePBT's new sets.

Personally I like the barred+scooped.  But I generally use the barred only to keep the profile nice and aligned when looking down the barrel.

There will be a ePBT 40's kit.

Not sure if that fulfills your need though for some boards.

I'm not super familiar with ePBT 40's kits (of course I have the one from slate), but you should consider blanks or novelty legends instead of 4 escape keys and 2 tab keys GMK sets are full of.

How will the non-sub alphas match with the international kit? Just thinking it might be hard.

I mean that if you have non-sub alphas and you combined that with a international kit that probably has sub legends on them it will look weird.
So in that case wouldn't you need two variants of the international kit aswell? One with and one without.

I wonder what those were, I would have liked a more comprehensive explanation to the switch (although that is of course the prerogative of the designer). The fact it was ePBT really was a standing point in this sea of GMK sets, as pointed out by others, and along that, the lower price point ePBT sets usually have is something that attracted people as well, I'm sure.

I have no doubt this will do well either way. GLWGB

Yeah I'm just running into a lot of trivial road blocks that I didn't anticipate and I don't wish to have that on my plate.

Running with GMK will stream line the process, and originally this was supposed to be for GMK anyhow.

On the other hand, this won't run for a while.

I'm sure someone better suited than I will make a better ePBT set.

Excellent decision. ePBT is wildly inconsistent with their QC control, especially with their spacebars. Also their scooped AND barred home keys are dumb.
