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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
