I don't know I feel about the epbt extended 2048. I kind of want oblique in cherry profile, but the 2048 font kind of looks off and not as good as oblique

There are some huge dealbreakers for me:
- They are using EnjoyPBT beige white, not grey white like this set or the OG.
- Icon-only modifiers do not look good with the AEK’s thin font.
- Dat shift icon. Ouch.
- The Japanese set has the sub-legends below the main ones and not side by side. Just no.
- The novelty set, while kinda fun with that coffee cup one, actually looks pretty boring and not at all retro-Mac-themed. The iPod? The iOS notification? C’mon!
Maybe I’m just too much of an Apple fan, but yeah, no.

All true, but still... it's Cherry profile. XDA is just so much harder to type on

I think if I were to run Oblique again it would be in a sculpted profile. Not sure about Cherry specifically, but definitely something a lot nicer to type on than XDA. I can't see it running any time soon with ext 2048 running now though. And it is priced very nicely, so it might be a nice set to tide you over until sculpted Oblique happens. I'm considering picking up a set myself

MT3 Oblique anyone?

[Cantello]

[...] I can't see it running any time soon with ext 2048 running now though. And it is priced very nicely, [...]

But it does not have the beautiful color mods like Oblique. Looking very good and competetively priced, though. Plus, Cherry is nicer to type on, more than I thought when I thought at first. :-)

(still waiting for mykeyboard.eu for any kind of update...)

They're shipping sets at the moment, I think some people have already received theirs. In my experience it can take a few days for their courier to email out tracking numbers though.

TKC's Katakana was close as well.

True. There's also KBDfans' italic XDA set which is sort of similar; and stock magicforce keycaps are AEK-style now too.

Even though ext 2048 existed in IC form even before Oblique, I like to think I started a trend

Got mine!

Where did you get that 16x4 ortholinear keyboard?

Well, first I bought a Preonic, then I got deathly ill and spent a month in the hospital. During my time there, I realized that life is too short for stupid bull**** and why should I have to deal with a number row - the very definition of "stupid bull****" in any sort of technical work - when I could instead have a numpad, which is not stupid bull****. And would make a totally boss looking extended Planck-style layout.

Nobody made it.

So I made it. Designed the PCB, iterated it through testing myself and testing with other people, and now I have a 4x16 board with underlighting and audio. Runs QMK. I call it Stand Aside.

I'm working on its successor, Hard Light, which features per-key RGB.

Speak for yourself. I love typing on XDA. 

[DigitalKoi]

did you all get your sets? I tired to wait ... I wait 10 mounths for caps for the first board   

[Fate]

Anybody have a spare text Page Up and Page Down plus maybe a gray 1u Enter they'd be willing to sell on to me?

yessir. I have a bunch of keys im not gonna use. need anything else?

That's about all I can think of - I've sent you a PM to discuss costs and shipping, unless that's an egregious faux pas.

[erthan]

Looking for (most importantly) the space bars kit and (less importantly) just the hjkl arrows from the novelties kit if anyone is looking to part with these.
Anyone heard anything about extras?

[Diskfix]

Anyone got any hint from mykeyboard.eu?

[maroder]

Anyone got any hint from mykeyboard.eu?

Asked them last week via email. They said they would begin shipping on Tuesday. Haven't heared anything since.
Lets wait and see if something happens next week.

[yohannes]

I read that there will be extra sets. Is this still the case?

[notbrain]

Just got my set last week (Dixie) and finally had time to install it yesterday. Was dismayed to see I didn't have enough to cover a full KBD75 layout. My fault for not ordering a (compat?) set (or just everything tbh). Anyone have 1.5u cmd and option they'd be willing to part with?

Also throwing my hat in hoping for extras. Set is dope.

Any chance you have 1.5u cmd and alt/option?

[dr_derivative]

Yep, although with the number of people who have been asking for them I don't expect them to last long

I just received an invoice and refund for some reason, presume this means shipping has started though

[rake_mistry]

Received my order from mechkeys on Friday, currently typing on them at work. Loving the set! Thanks to everyone who designed the caps and organized the GB!

Mine was scheduled to be delivered on Friday but now has a Canada Post tracking status of "Item redirected to recipient's new address" which sounds like despite messaging MechKeys directly on Facebook; emailing; contacting on discord and responding to the address confirmation email that was sent out before shipping, they still sent it to my old address and it is now en route to be sent to my dad's new address in a different city. I wonder if I'll ever see these caps or a refund should they not arrive. What a nightmare.

[Ephemeral]

Been through a week of use at work now and I absolutely love the set. May grab extras if I’m quick enough.

Ouch. That is incredibly frustrating. All of my attempts to contact mechkeys also went unanswered, I guess I was lucky to at least receive my set. Let me know if you ever hear from them or there's anything I can do to help get their attention.

I also suspect that we won't be seeing the MOQ refunds from them, which is a shame.

Really unfortunate that their communication was abysmal during this process. Definitely won't be doing business with them again.

[Moridin]

This is the best set I have ever seen and used. ❤️

[nguyenhimself]

Jeez.
Don’t do this, you guys. Not cool.

[dr_derivative]

Nearly 60% markup

If anyone missed out on the GB extras will be coming soon, and they'll be priced a lot more reasonably

[iliketimex]

If you have any extra 6.25" spacebars, please consider selling those as a separate kit. My spacebar came marked up and it bugs me, so I will be trying to find another 6.25" spacebar.

Overall really nice set and GB, even with the production delays.

If your spacebar came like that you should probably get in contact with your local vendor to ask about a replacement. I believe the factory made some spares to cover those kind of issues.

There we go. Thanks again, tunadesu!

So they are probably starting. I bought on July 12th. Will wait for next week until bothering them again...

[saucybulgogi]

I should’ve picked up the ergodox set. Luckily able to fill it out with what I got.

Just got my set, time to find out if I actually like XDA )

Who do I contact regarding replacements? Presume my local vendor. Some of my spacebars have weird markings on them.

Oh and how do I figure out which caps are scooped? Look the same to me.

[anfledd]

I reached out to Dixie on some issues with my primary spacebar, provided some pics and they mailed me a replacement.

[C7Kinetic]

finally got this set on a board!

[Idef1x]

So I am missing my home, end, pgup and pgdown. I ordered from mykeyboardeu - do I need to take it up with them or?

Edit: No I don't. I just didn't look properly at the icons kit. Duuh.
