Interesting, but please add [IC] in the title
Only thing I'm not feeling is the novelties, they all seem a tiny bit inconsistent and a little cartoony for my tastes.
I also wonder if you would be willing to modify the brown icon to a station wagon, I think the Volvo 245 is as icon(ic) a scandinavian vehicle as has ever been made, and that would be a must own for me.
Into it. I was thinking about buying epbt 9009 only this morning but now I'm thinking I might hold off...
I like how it's beige but not too beige, and I like the colour of the accents. Only thing I'm not feeling is the novelties, they all seem a tiny bit inconsistent and a little cartoony for my tastes.
Lovely set! The only thing I would like is OG icons instead of the current centered ones but I guess you can't get everything :)
The 1.75u icon control looks pretty yuge in your board renders, but looks reasonably sized in the kit renders. Which one can we expect?
I like it, but why no Q and Z runes?
Also only runes kit would be a lot sweet!

The third row in this kit has me a bit confused. I'm thinking these keys (aside from the function key) are supposed to be mods for 12u ortho like planck (if it's something else feel free to ignore what I say below but I'd love to know what it's for in that case :) )
If it's supposed to be ortho mods I think you're mod-coloring the wrong column. The rightmost column on a standard 12u keyboard is the one that contains the apostrophe (not the semicolon). Following from this for German and Swedish Ä is the key that might replace the apostrophe not Ö (since Danish and Norwegian have the same letters but in the opposite order they are correct since you had both).
Hi, nice set. I'm starting a crusade to convince designers to include the "Ñ" keycap to cover the whole spanish market. For years now we felt like the black sheep of the keyboard family. So I'm asking here, it is possible to add just ONE keycap more to the NORDEUK kit and make it NORDEUKESP? I mean technically its two keycaps "Ç" is also used but we can survive without it, the Ñ is commonly ussed tho. If you do this, you are not only helping spanish people but the whole south american continent (which also speak spanish) and other people around the world living in other countries. I'm asking to include it into the NORDEUK because some of those keycaps can also be used in the Spanish layout and since it's only one keycap requested...Do you think the Spanish market would actually be satisfied with just the Ñ though? There are several other keys that would be missing for both the European & Latin American variants of Spanish.
Feels weird being the SECOND most talked language in the world and be this marginated in terms of keycaps. I guess it's because theres more market with scandinavian users but do manufacturers/designers really lose that much for just one keycap? I think you have a lot to win.
Anyways, just givin' my thoughts as a frustrated keycap buyer.

Wow, thanks for the efford man, even if it's probably never happening, just the fact that you showed interest means a lot to me!
Yeah I know just a keycap feels like nothing, but trust me, me and other fellow spanish people can be happy just with a keycap ;D It's not that hard to learn other ISO or ANSI layouts + mapped Ñ but with an actual Ñ keycap. Just sayin'. Maybe you can't call it NORDEUKESP because it's not like it covers the whole ESP layout but meh. I know a lot of latinamerican/spanish people that survive with ANSI layouts or regular ISO without ESP layout so it's not like we NEED the whole +20 keycaps, having a Ñ it's just nice to have.

I think the problem is that it's just not typical for a locale to be just partially supported (outside of two-key partial UK ISO support, which is terrible). European Spanish requires at least eight keys that differ from both the US and NorDe layouts. Latin American Spanish requires a further five beyond that.While Ñ might be a priority for Spanish layout, users are still going to have to memorize where their punctuation keys are, given your suggestion. It's the sort of "support" for a language that you can't actually advertise. "Hey, we have Ñ, but all these other keys are wrong!"
Since no child MOQs, would you be up for adding a colevrak+ (typist) kit? I was going to add to the interest check, but didn't see any options for "other" or such.
Hi all,The FR kit, which seems already designed, needs more votes ? I thought its presence was already decided ...
Some news today...
The GB date has been set for June 14!
Also had some time to finish the deskmat:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/EJWmbMO.png)
And my collaboration with Monokei is here. This R3 2.25u artisan will be made in brass with a light gunmetal PVD finish:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/aa8wmdZ.png)
Finally as a reminder, the additional language support form is still open (https://forms.gle/ejS6XjjVLt8fzPrz7). If you'd like to see support for your language/region (i.e. Spanish, Colevrak, etc.), please fill it out! Right now, it's unlikely that ANY additional support will be added given the low number of responses.

Please note that this does NOT mean I've decided to officially add these kits to the set.
At this time, I am looking for 1) feedback and 2) interest, to which end I've created a new form (https://forms.gle/GnTVFTYHTVtCQTDj9).
please help me understand epbt kitting: i thought if base made MOQ then all child kits were assured of being made, also.
if this is the case, i have a hard time seeing a downside to producing (anticipated) small quantity child kits. if anything, these kits likely would increase demand for base kit, no? (reason being that person purchasing child kit will also want base kit.) i suppose it might make fulfillment a bit more difficult but proxies are in business to sell stuff.

That would be my case. With support for Spanish layout i'd be getting several kits, but without it i'm not even buying the base kit. Hopefully some more interest in those child kits is generated now that there's a GB date, and they get made.

You are correct. However, I am simply trying to balance manufacturer load with potential sales to keep the lead times reasonable. There's been a crush of ePBT sets in the pipeline, likely due in large part to the fact that GMK is so backed up. It would be a shame if ePBT ended up in the same situation.
Are these last kits gonna be added to the future GB or you are still not sure?
Hi,
In front page is noted "Manufacturer: ePBT (using their new molds)".
I've read on other IC thread there is delays with new molds, do you have intel ?
to clarify, the rune kit will still exist, right?
Now that you removed tertiary legends there's a duplicate on the french kit, the "¨ ^" key
And I'll don't join, regrettably :/
GL anyway !
Why there's like four keycaps in that specific set with the same legends "{ [" ?
Also the Ç keycap has another sublegend, the }. I can confirm since my keyboards in my house are all spanish layouts ;D
ne rune renders avail?
I don't type on a Swedish keyboard anymore (just use google input whenever I need to talk to family), but for this set, I may consider building a dedicated Swedish layout :) Could we get some renders that use the Dalecarlian runes before the GB ends?
Haven't seen the GB thread yet, so excuse me for asking here:Judging by the images, and the known concave caps have a darker gradient to indicate the dip, I think the 1.5u are concave, and the 1u & 1.75u + larger sizes are convex.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210615/8915978280cf3b0fe7f003ddfa684ea5.jpg)
For the short spacebars in Nomad kit
are the 1u 1.5u 1.75u 2u short spacebars all convex (like 6.25u spacebar) or they are concave (like shift keys)?
It's very rare to find thick cherry profile 1.5u spacebars, I'm definitely interested to join (and thanks for adding that key!)
thank you
All future updates will be posted in the GB thread, which should be live shortly.Great ! :)
