Yep, snuck past me a little bit since I never got the notification when it went up. I'll have the email from my mailing list going out this morning for those who aren't already aware.

Nice, just saw the announcement on KBDfans, great to finally get my hands onto this, thank you!

Little4Real · « **Reply #302 on:** Wed, 22 July 2020, 16:31:59 »

So... is it a GB, or are they an in-stock keyset?

pixelpusher · « **Reply #303 on:** Wed, 22 July 2020, 16:44:34 »

Picked up a set as well!

Going to match it up side by side with my GMK set and see who makes the cut!

I've heard it's an in-stock set.

If you wouldn't mind quoting me when you get to compare... Please do. I'm SO curious and am trying my best to hold back in purchasing a set right now (just saving a bit).

Finally! I'm in for a set.

Hopefully the warping won't be as bad as my set of kuro.

fabijolo · « **Reply #307 on:** Fri, 24 July 2020, 04:08:25 »

Mine just got send out, so I guess it's an in stock item, in case anyone was still wondering

macclack · « **Reply #308 on:** Fri, 24 July 2020, 14:28:20 »

I’m really looking forward to seeing some pictures! I get my set Monday or Tuesday of next week so if no one posts them before then I’ll do my best to get a few comparison shots.

I'm wish I had a shipping notification.

I'll definitely get a few good shots of mine, no ETA as of yet due to how crazy the world is right now.

donutcat · « **Reply #315 on:** Mon, 27 July 2020, 17:12:23 »

Yeah, here would be fine. Don't really have anywhere else better to do so.

Looks pretty good and doesn't look like the warping is so bad, lest you would have mentioned it. How do you like it?

I've come to just accept the warping. It isn't as bad in this round as recent ePBT sets though. The space bar is just about the same but not unusable by any means, same with the 2.75 shift.

Enter has slight curvature but is admissible.

Backspace and 2.25 shift seem to be in great shape.

Overall I'm impressed with it

LightningXI · « **Reply #320 on:** Mon, 27 July 2020, 18:57:05 »

Sure looks like pretty standard bowing for ePBT, but it does seem like it's usable, and better. As long as the set (especially modifiers) aren't unusable, or the legends too fuzzy.

do you have pictures of the color accent keys? i want to see how the green turns out IRL.

the legends also look pretty straight. the recent epbt 9009 set i got has some slight tilt to some alphas like I, W, E, U.

The short spacebars i received were so warped they dont even fit in the stabs. Oh well. good looking set anyways.

Warped spacebars are relatively easy to fix.

Anthixious · « **Reply #329 on:** Tue, 28 July 2020, 12:59:21 »

My 7u bar was warped, but I don't have a board that I plan to use that with. Might bend it over time, might not, meh.

macclack · « **Reply #330 on:** Tue, 28 July 2020, 14:16:16 »

Here's the ePBT (right) compared to GMK (left). This is shot with an iPhone so quality isn't great, but it is shot in natural light.

My 2¢: The sub legends are a much brighter green on the GMK, and as usual, the double shot legends are crisper, but overall pretty good! Thanks again for making this happen donutcat. I'm happy with the set.

I'd love to go after that design even though it's green, problem is it's low-profile and I already have my eyes set on Gon's Keyboard Works' NerD 108 board or their TKL board with the numpad.

My spacebars were pretty bad. I tried fixing the 7u spacebar with the old heat gun method and ended up f*ing it up. Oops.

That sucks. I remember ordering a 7u space bar from SP for my granite set. Waited like 3 weeks for it. Was a banana, of course. Heated it up with hair dryer, tried to slightly bend it... snapped in half. whoops.

What happened to the KBDfans page? The link no longer works:

Are there plans for a restock?
