Whoa! This set looks amazing.
Pardon me for my ignorance, but is there any perks to doing a set with ePBT rather than GMK? I am wondering because lately I have bought a full set of topre 9009 from ePBT, and even tho they looked amazing and were thick, the plastic mixture used for the caps produced a really high pitch sound and felt cheap compared to the sound of standard Topre caps, Leopold Caps or OG cherrys, GMK, etc..
I was let down and I'm surprised to see many people doing runs for high end caps through them. Does that mean that only this topre 9009 was a bit of a let down and their GB productions are great?
Thanks!
Can't say no to full icons
2. some prefer PBTAEK, AEKII, M0116 and M0118 were PBT, except for the space bars.
Intl kit!!! :-* looking forward to see some samples :thumb:
While I think the epbt9009 was not the best, I think the quality has been improving. The heavy industry was quite impressive.
I hope they keep increasing quality without increasing the price. haha

I don’t own any epbt sets, so I’m not familiar with their pricing. How much does a set like this usually go for?

Love it. Very interested.Definitely interested if this gets added
Question though: would you consider R4 Enter for Planck users?
Some of the symbols are a little weird in my eyes.
• Backspace (Backward "delete") has the Back-Tab symbol.
• Shift has a Cursor-Up symbol in my opinion.
• Forward Delete has what I think of ASCII art for fish <><
What would be so wrong about the "Place of interest" symbol?
And BTW, what are the shell prompt keys for?
Thank you all for the awesome support :thumb:
I already plan to:
- add R3 1.25 Enter -> Nomad kit
- add R4 1u Enter -> Nomad kit
- make a spacebars kit, for people who don't need all the modifiers but just a split spacebar.
- work on an Ergo kit if there is enough interest. If I do so, I want it to have icons mods tho.
wanna get this ASAP...

Wish you could get some of the old Mac icons into the novelties set, e.g. “hello”, Susan Kare’s dog icon, etc.I reckon they’d reach the same realization as that of XDA Oblique: Too risky legal-wise.
Also, I'm not sure I want to add accents since I think it works kinda well as a monochromatic set.
I got rid of the Rainbow novelty since IMO it's too 'expected' and not that original.

I’m usually an accent guy, but I thought this set didn’t need them to keep it clean... now this idea sounds interesting!
Probably worth exploring?

Looks great biip. Can’t wait!!
Any chance of adding the "stacked squares" icon to a1.75u key ?
I think of this icon as Fn or "Layers", and I map Fn to CapsLock. Not sure if that's a common layout (I think it is, but no data to back it up), and might be attractive to folks who care for it.
>_ is for FN.
Squares are for Layers or whatever you want.
I could definitively add one 1.75u FN (and a stepped FN then I guess?!) key in the base kit. But keep in mind that each specific demand might increase the price of the kit. I should get pricing soon tho.
Also, I plan to add a R4 1u squares in the Icono kit.

Definitely not a deal breaker - I'm in the buy either way. I felt like "layers" are more representative of layer switching than >_ which feels more like a "Command" . Just my opinion FWIW.
See the pricing and if it does not make a big change, perhaps consider it ?

Not sure of the feasibility of this, but one of those Rama caps with enamel filling he's been doing recently would look really nice with this set. I'm imagining a rainbow enamel fill or maybe a "hello" cap.
Great set btw! Count me in for one.

Hey!
After putting this design on hold for a while I finally present you EPBT Extended 2048!
Heavily inspired by the AEKII, the main idea was to create an icon based keyset with a neo-retro look, inspired by old Apple keyboards. I wanted to have something with a minimalistic but intuitive look, which explains the icons mods!
I took time to re-think the kits, get rid of the useless stuff and basically made it simpler.
This looks really good for a professional looking keyboard. I love the macro keys.
The original IC can be found here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=96145.0)
Group Buy should start end march through KBDFans and CandyKeys (For EU only).
Pricing will come really soon!
I'm also actually working on a prototype.

I'd make the '/" 1.5u key horizontal (R3) rather than vertical. Also the ergodox thumb cluster would need eight 1u keys total. R3 home/end & pgup/pgdn seem like fairly universal choices for 1u thumb cluster keys.

It's better, I'll still say the ergo kit should have the "/' key as horizontal & R3 home/end keys though.

I’d personally prefer scoops, if that’s an option that you are willing to consider still (that is if I’m correct in my assumption that there are none as it stands).

IMO goes against the simple design of the rest of the kit... Also katakana is the new Space Cadet?
It's in homage to the AEK JP boards out there which use Katakana legends - they're super popular and a lot more expensive ($150+ for alphas) than regular AEKs for people who wanna harvest them for their custom alps builds. Considering it's an alternate kit and not imposed on the base or anything, I don't think it really is that big of a deal that goes against the ethos of the set. I can't specifically speak for Biip but I'd say it's also not a byproduct of weeb/cadet/etc legends being popular, it's just a homage to the Japanese AEK.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/fxftW.jpg)

keep in mind that I did not want to reproduce an AEK set. It's just heavily inspired :thumb:
Also, I wanted this set to be icon-based, so no text mods. So I won't add text novelties, sorry.
The OP does not imply in any way that this kit intends to be an AEK replica. While constructive dialogue is welcome, thread-crapping is not. Our comments have been heard and noted. Repeating the same comment multiple times may cross the thread-crapping boundary.
The thing is, ofc I read all comments and do the pro/cons, the initial idea was not to replicate an AEK set.
You can be inspired and influenced by an aesthetic but not necessarily by the color scheme. My goal here was to create a neo-retro looking set.
I wanted a warm white because it's, IMO, a good balance between vintage and contemporary keyset design. I should get pics of the samples in a few days tho.
I looked at my Pantone® swatches and my GMK color ring and thought that L9 would be very good for this set; because it looked just bad with a yellowish white (Trust me, I made some mockups and asked for renders…).
Also, I wanted this set to be icon-based, so no text mods. So I won't add text novelties, sorry.
I hope this clarifies some interrogations.
I'm not really convinced by this tbh.I’d be in for a VIM kit. Looks great!
If there is more interest I'll definitely make a VIM kit tho :thumb:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/SqHJ0ZD.png)

The thing is, ofc I read all comments and do the pro/cons, the initial idea was not to replicate an AEK set.

The OP does not imply in any way that this kit intends to be an AEK replica. While constructive dialogue is welcome, thread-crapping is not. Our comments have been heard and noted. Repeating the same comment multiple times may cross the thread-crapping boundary.
I don't know about that. The whole point of an interest check is to collect feedback. It's not thread crapping for different people to voice the same concerns - how else could you tell whether any point is more than a single dissenting opnion?
For the record, I do think it would be a missed opportunity to make this another beige cherry profile keyset instead of trying to match Apple's platinum grey more closely, and the difference is enough to personally put me off the set. I can still respect that biip has a different idea of how'd they want this to turn out and is free to make decisions as they see fit.

Any chance for a poker layout support in the Nav kit ? Up arrow ‘I’, and Right arrow ‘K’ ?
Would you consider it if it does not impact cost too much ?

Can't really tell unfortunately since my 4 Pantone swatches don't have a lot of white references…
Small suggestion for the nav kit would be to make the arrows oblique like they are on the return and shift keys.
Been checking this thread daily for weeks now anticipating the GB and can't wait! Great work!

I have sad news: I'll have to throw the Ergo kit away, because most of the 1.5u molds aren't available, unfortunately…I hope ePBT does something about that.
Sorry.

Got a Boardwalk PCB & a Clueboard 2x1800 on the way. Been looking for some cherry profile keycaps to match. ePBT would have been real nice but instead I went with GMK SkIIdata + the N9 ergodox kit, both from TKC - Ok I guess but legends not as classy as 2048.

I’m in for all kits but the the nomad and intl. just cause I don’t really need those keys ( can anyone think of a reason for a guy to get the nomad kit if you don’t use anything less than a 60% ?
Thinking if I should get multiples of some sets. The coloreay makes it almost universally compatible with other icon mod kits ? Think of using the Torii set with serika microns ... thinking that might look good..

Does this mean that issues with the Dual kit will be fixed in time to have an ergo/Boardwalk kit for the group buy? Thanks!
I'm pretty excited for this set. First keyset I'm buying in over a year.

The 40s kit was changed so much, has anyone even checked what boards can we cover now, or is it just a Planck + few oddities?

Yeah, that's due to mold issues.
I tried my best to cover the most possible layouts tho (in addition to base kit).

So what would kits would I need to cover a Zen (between 1 and 4 2u keys, 8 1.5u keys (two per row), and the rest covered by an ortho kit and alphas)?
Ordered! Now the wait begins.
Any chance we'll see a prototype still at some point?
Just to confirm, there is no R2 1U pipe/forward slash key in any of the kits?

Bellow is an example of an standard Swedish layout fitted with an OG Cherry double shot set owned by DT's user Dorf. As you can see, it can be fully reproduced with 2048 key set.
Apple's well known to make everything proprietary and it would not be a surprise that they decided to make its own version of Norde layouts. Therefore, what you referred to as small issues might be due to MacOS and not to this set.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/m4pELjE.jpg)

Hey, I was not aware that there was a specific Mac layout for Finnish/Swedish languages. And unfortunately it’s now too late to make changes. I hope it’s not a deal breaker.

I bought a couple of sets. And very happy with the design - the epbt quality is still not up to par with GMK but I can tolerate it.
If GMK 2048 can happen it will be a true blessing, but yeah I know it will be a long shot.

I’m curious, what did you think was not up to par with GMK?Also wonder. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality, the legends are beautiful and sharp - better than GMK. I also very much enjoy the silky smooth texture.
