Woah - this has really changed a lot. I love the base and the new set breakdown!! Great job !

LordHaveMercy · « **Reply #201 on:** Sat, 06 March 2021, 04:48:21 »

I want this. Can't wait for the GB to start next month!

VXQN · « **Reply #202 on:** Sat, 06 March 2021, 11:18:28 »

This set literally has a key that says "keyboard" on it. Do you even like keyboards if you pass on purchasing?

Really nice set!

elisyan · « **Reply #204 on:** Sun, 21 March 2021, 14:35:29 »

I'm glad to see 1.5u super keys made it to the base kit. Super useful for a mac hhkb layout.
The inspiration behind this set is great and I am looking forward to the GB especially since it won't have GMK lead times.

vintage look is killer

I'm super hyped for this set!

BTW, could you tell EPBT to fix their stepped caps lock? All the EPBT sets I have have a missaligned stepped caps lock keycap, it's too close to the A next to it. I guess the stem is not placed correctly.

nu_types · « **Reply #207 on:** Sun, 28 March 2021, 16:19:35 »

Alright everyone some big announcements to make:

I'm happy to announce that I'm collaborating with Rama Works on a metal artisan for this set! It tops off the 6085 "novelty" keys. Details available in the main post.
I'm excited to announce that I'm collaborating with ZeusWorks on a custom cable for this set. The cables will be limited to 15-20 units, available directly from ZeusWorks sometime after the GB starts.
I made changes to the Cyrillic sublegends to align with feedback I received from the ePBT BoW Cyrillic IC. The ePBT template image and kit renders have been updated with these new sublegends.
I have opted to remove the light variation of the deskmat. Additionally, I ordered prototypes from two different manufactures and added a photo of the one that I picked to the initial post.
Pricing has been added for some vendors.

Both the collaborative artisan and cable look awesome.

This set just speaks to me. I'm going to try and go all in once the GB is live. Great job!

I just received confirmation from KBDfans that this issue will be addressed with the new molds.

Thank you for the NorDeUK kit and Cyrillic subs!!

VXQN · « **Reply #213 on:** Tue, 30 March 2021, 04:05:51 »

Got worried about the pricing for this kit and was fully prepared to spend "too much" on it, but I forgot that ePBT is like...half the price of GMK. The NorDeUK kit especially is something I thought I would have to skip, but €20 is so reasonable!

hottrout · « **Reply #214 on:** Wed, 31 March 2021, 03:34:47 »

Thank you for UK and the great little STOP cap. I will go in on these sets for sure. Well done.

Isn't R3 \| still missing in Base/NorDeUk?

No. R3 \l is really only included in most sets for generic ISO coverage. Instead of doing that for this set, someone recommended included the OG ‘’ and “” keys and I chose to do that in the base kit.

On another note, I've updated the alternate alpha kits to include 6.25 and 7u spacebars and I've added the rest of the number row keys to the Cyrillic kit. This will allow people to use the alternate alphas standalone with mods from a different set on boards 65% or smaller if they wish. These changes will not impact the cost of these kits.

loving this set but i have a really stupid observation: i can find no information that states whether this is made from ABS or PBT. yeah, it's ePBT but they also make ABS keycaps. i've looked at this IC and kbdfans (the only website so far with the set posted). fwiw, i've searched each page using " pbt" (space in front of pbt) and "abs"

Yeah there was another design, but I dropped it awhile back. I felt like more than one deskmat was a little much for a set like this, and plus, I wasn't really feeling the light variant of the deskmat personally.

I have also registered before yesterday, it is a glitch, and neither this should matter.

Nope, in fact, it should mean that I love this design a lot. In fact, so much as to care to state that.

How do the alpha colors compare to ePBT Grayscale? I'm assuming they're more beige? Trying to find 2.25u/2.75u spacebars to match Grayscale.

Yes, the alphas are going to be more beige than grayscale.

Btw, since the GB thread is now open, let's take all related conversation there. I'm going to lock this thread.
