PBT Please

[blaqbern]

Those novelties are looking great! Love the set, but I agree the yellow on cream could be hard to read. Will be watching this one. GLWIC!

If this is run in PBT I am 100% in

[Retne]

I love the novelties.  This set looks wonderful.  I just wish the base kit had the extra B.

I'll be interested to see which manufacturer you decide to go with.

[fedemito]

Hello there,
I'm not dead, only been on vacation, i will update kits and renders in the next weeks (not sure when though).

And thanks for your feedback! 

[konstantin]

That poster is gorgeous! What a great inspiration for a keycap set.

Best of luck with this project!

FWIW, I think this would work very well in PBT. My preference would be EPBT, as this set would most likely not require reverse/all-over dye sub. Infinikey or CC would probably work well, too.

[fedemito]

Update!
I decided to go with ePBT (pbt dyesub) as manufacturer!

WIP:
-Still working on kits and I've commissioned better and more renders.
-Some vendors already contacted me, but I'm waiting to announce them when I'll have a more defined kitting.
 
I've added some contact infos, feel free to join:
- Clicky Clack Club Discord
- Instagram

Excellent. Given how inundated GMK has been I think EPBT is a good choice. I like the idea of fostering good competition for this profile (but I'm not quite ready to trust infinikey) and so I will definitely be buying this set if EPBT manufacture it ESPECIALLY if you decide to go with PBT as the material.

hi dude!

i have some concerns regarding the set.

you are mixing icon+text with text only mods, while the iso enter and 1.25u shift are icon only.

also, you are going with two line "scroll lock" but one line "prt sc", "pg up" and "pg down".

it feels very inconsistent and could easily be much more coherent with some small changes!

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions, i will take care of them, but as now I'm reworking kits with some major improvements that will eliminate most of inconsistencies you noticed.
These renders are made by me, so not great and full of errors. Working on this too, as I commissioned some nicer and improved renders.

[QuaintSafe]

Legend colors look nice on the off white base! +1 for space theme and PBT 

[Freakenstein]

love it、  Im in

[succulentdan]

I had a roommate that was in love with this poster haha - I might end up sending this his way, looks good so far!

[o3okevin]

[MrMar]

[William_S_Jones]

Very glad to see a 40s kit, would you consider adding a couple novelty enters to it?

[marks_]

This set looks great!

Have you considered a NorDe(UK) kit as well?

[fedemito]

About the NorDeUk kit, I don't think there is enough interest in this kit, so I preferred not to include it, sorry.

[fedemito]

Added Switchkeys as Oceania vendor!

[fedemito]

Added some renders in the first post! Here's full album

[Nathan_]

I like the theme

[lach64]

[William_S_Jones]

I agree as a JD40/45 & AMJ45 user b/c they use 1.75U double spacebars.

Hi!

I'm happy to announce MKUltra Corporation as US vendor!

Still working on kits (something big is coming) and thinking about a deskmat.

Did you voluntarily approach them to be vendor? Regardless ~ GLWGB

Sorry for the late answer, no, i did not approach them, but i had a good and long talk with them.
I've heard some opinions from other vendors too and decided to go with them.

Congrats on vendor! MKU is a good dude.

Deskmats based on the inspiration poster would be amazing!

[boneandbee]

This is an awesome way to use a whole bunch of bright colours, and the novelties are so cute! Great job!

Thanks, for the deskmat I'm working with Raz and will update later (when we have some final designs).

Nice set!

[DasGnome]

Beautiful. Can't wait.

[croatoanlp]

This set looks so classy and clean, I hope the deskmat will catch the aesthetics just as well! One thing that makes this set difficult to pick up is the double f7 and missing f12 though

Thanks! It's an error in renders, will be fixed! 

[diddymechakeebs]

I'm 100% in. My brother-in-law is one of the designers for JPL that created the retro posters! He loved this concept!

[Rayndalf]

I see barred homing keys. Are the others normal R3 or are they supposed to be scooped?

They are supposed to be scooped (i have to check with epbt if they have the moulds) and the barred homing keys will be only barred.

Really?
That's a huge compliment for me and my friend Alessandro. Thank you and thank him for us, we really appreciate this!

[chaoticgood]

count me in on this!

Sexy kit. Love the creamy yet colorful look. If you add an International kit, I am in 

[honoka]

Oh I think there is enough interest.
Since Epbt pricing is much more tolerable than GMK its easier to justify buying extra kits for language support.

Please look into if its feasible to add it at this point

Hi, I don't want to be rude, but on the ic form (out of 650+ interested) only 14 people replied that they would be interested in a nordeuk kit, so I think there is not enough interest merely based on numbers.

[honoka]

You are not being rude at all.
Personally, I don't bother asking for a norde-kit in a interest check form if it's not mentioned that there is even a possibility.

[TheBlackHammer]

Is there any updates on this set?

Hi, not dead, only busy with real life. I'm still working on kitting and some other things (a couple of collaborations).
I hope i can update with a couple of things at the end of the next week.
