Any forthcoming plan for the keyset?

If you're still debating profile, there's now PBT SA and KAT/KAM to consider.

KBDfans will have samples done in 25-35 days.

Sticking with ePBT for this run.

Will an international kit be available?

Unfortunately, no, as there usually isn't demand for int'l kits- they end up sitting. Sorry about that.

I'm sure the kit is already finalized, but all grey function and arrow keys would be awesome. Still keeping my eye out on this one though! Really looking forward to it.

euphxenos · « **Reply #108 on:** Sat, 25 August 2018, 15:34:54 »

I think there's a mistake in the new kit, probably because ePBT's row numbering (443211) is reversed from GMK's (112344). Where the old GMK kit had an R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn to support 65% layouts like the Tada68, the new ePBT kit would need an R2 PgUp and R1 PgDn to achieve the same goal, but the new ePBT kit has an R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn, which doesn't make any sense. It looks like they were just moved over to the new kit without factoring in the reversed row numbering. You probably want to drop the R3 PgUp/R4 PgDn and replace them with R2 PgUp/R1 PgDn.

Thank you for pointing this out!

This was an oversight on my behalf and I've fixed it.

It's pretty much finalized, sorry about that! I'm glad you're looking forward to it though.

The real tragedy is that this set abandons the best thing about the original set: it was made of lovely sphericals.

Agreed, this set should def be SA/MT3

Quote from: FoC_Tow on Thu, 12 October 2017, 14:31:47

No love for the uniform gray f-row?

Agreed, should keep the gray f row, its part of the charm of the original set

Quote from: kmba on Thu, 12 October 2017, 15:30:26

I like what you're trying to accomplish and I know you've been working this for awhile, but I really think the original set is just must more attractive.. something about the wacky color scheme just works, and that charm is lost when translated to the standard color layout of every other custom set.

Agreed, color scheme should duplicate the original board rather than normalizing it to be like every other set, the way eric clapton makes every blues song sound the same

yaya · « **Reply #116 on:** Mon, 03 September 2018, 11:01:58 »

Yep, no SA or grey F row, no buy from me. Loses the appeal of the original.

We'll see in time, but it appears the alphas are a bit more on the greenish side than the original

These colors might just be right. That second one you shared seems more promising. Excited to see this one come to life. Very unique set.

Actually, no, it isn't. I'll speak to KBDFans and see if we can do that.

No ETA at the moment. If I see the samples and like them, then we're ready to proceed.

plexabyte · « **Reply #137 on:** Fri, 28 September 2018, 09:38:26 »

At first I was not excited about going full "yellowed abs" but that yellow (even with the potato quality) looks pretty good; still much too yellow IMO, but I can deal with it. I'm all for more epbt sets too. As long as the blue-green is more...muted(?) like the original I'm in. Would look spicy on a blue-gray board.

You can choose- both are going to be in the base kit.

It's 5 and still haven't gotten the samples yet, so I assume they're coming on Monday, but I'll make sure that the colors actually turn out nicely- don't worry! Also, I think you may be right about the "saturation" of the teal. Won't know for sure until monday/tuesday, though.

obertau · « **Reply #140 on:** Fri, 28 September 2018, 22:32:32 »

In the last picture, all three colours look a bit saturated. Maybe it’s the picture but I would prefer a bit lighter and more muted for all three colours.

ye_cole · « **Reply #141 on:** Tue, 02 October 2018, 21:32:30 »

I've recieved the samples. They do look a bit too saturated. I'm going to go to a pantone dealer and look at the colors in person to fine tune them a bit better, and I'll ask KBDFans to send new samples.

Thanks, man. Yeah those look like they’ve been around cigarette smoke for a few decades. Not the subtle yellow from normal aging.

Glad you’re going to revise the color. Still love the idea of this one

I really like the GMK render. The colors: the off-white, the vibrant mods, the blue-gray enter.

The alphas - can you go with the standard ePBT beige? For example, the colors of the mods in this: https://www.1upkeyboards.com/shop/keycaps/enjoypbt-keycap-set-english-red/

The only reason I bring this up is because I look at the other renders, the samples, and then I look at the pic in the signature... and I keep thinking "damn, the signature looks sexy".

I like the special color. In my opinion the standard beige is a bit boring for this set.

Super glad there are more sets from enjoypbt. Really like the less intense shade of yellowing on the alpha's in the 2nd GMK render, but I do like the color of the mods you settled on.

Hey OP! I know you're still working out the colors for the set with ePBT, but I was wondering if you had a rough estimate on when the group bay will start? I'm trying to figure out my finances to buy into all of these group buys x|. Thanks!

I think the mods will look nicer in white text, just like the actual keys.
