Samples

The prototyping phase has already started!
I received some samples and it looks really promising.
The legends aren't 100% centered on the cap but it will be definitely fixed.
Note that the backspace and return icons are outdated on the pics below.

The pics are in greyscale because the colors weren't matched yet.

Nvm, I'm guessing dyesub since double shot ABS would require new molds... considering they just nailed those down for MT3 Susuwatari

Such a shame, MT3 is really lacking small convex spacekeys.

Could they possibly be made?

Also, sharp R4 for bottom row again? :( It looks cool, but it's uncomfortable... I wish the bottom row was flat. Like this I'll have to flip the 2u spacebar and lower/raise again like on MT3 Serika like some savage...

The last /dev/tty drop had convex bars in all of the common sizes. But there's been a convex 2u mold for a while now.

/dev/tty seems to have a R3 1.25U Key in the Extra Mods kit

https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set

I'd also prefer flat (r5) spacebars (also listed on the drop for /dev/tty) if the convex molds don't exist.
2u and 1u spacebars in the ortho kit are listed as convex

I love Extended 2048 and MT3 is my favorite profile. I have dev/tty and godspeed which are awesome, but I just got Serika and the row 4 bottom row on ortho feels really bad in comparison to row 5.

Totally interested, any chance you can make row 5 bottom row happen?

I just want to say, MT3 Godspeed and MT3 /dev/tty did it right. MT3 Serika did not. The ortho bottom row should be R5, not R4. Please follow the good examples instead. Sales numbers on these kits reflected that.

I’m so glad they added R5 to MT3, surprised it’s not used here.

I really like the icons, it would be amazing to have these in R5 for a macro pad.

Any chance of an R1 Pause/Break key in the numpad kit, to support full 1800 style layouts?

I'd also be interested in R5 spacebars - personally I use R4 mods with an R5 spacebar when using /dev/tty, but I may be the odd one here.

Drop's refusal to use regional proxies makes this a bit of a bummer for me, but I like MT3 and Extended 2048 a lot so I'll likely still join.

I know it's a long shot, but would you consider adding the following JIS keys to the international kit?  Since JIS has some keys in common with German layouts, the International kit already gets us part way there, but it would still need these keys to complete the set.

EDIT: I made the legends italic to match the keyset, but perhaps in the interests of clarity I shouldn't have; the legend paired with the ¥ yen mark is | (pipe), not / (forward slash)!

I love this set and I'll definitely be picking up 2 or 3 kits. I second konstantin about the 1u Alt keys: please please add those keys 🙏. Keep up the great work!

Consider adding the following keys:
  • Move R0 Delete from Numpad to Base, in order to support certain 75% layouts.
  • Add a second 1u Alt to Base and Accent Mods, in order to cover Mac bottom rows (2× 1.5u Cmd, 1u Alt required).
  • Add an F13 to Base.
  • Add a second B to Spacebars.
Compatibility looks fantastic otherwise.

are the nomad spacebars convex?

Edit: Nevermind. I guess just the 6.25 is.

Only 6u, 6.25u, and 7u keycaps are.

In Drop's MT3 /dev/tty2 GB discussion, matt3o said (https://drop.com/buy/drop-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set/talk/2629456?mode=guest_open) "if listed as 'spacebar' it's convex. At least that is how I requested them."

Here is Drop's picture of the MT3 /dev/tty2 Spacebar kits:
(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/massdrop-x-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set/FP/APd3aQNDRyuFNwqTAhdJ_spacebars.jpg)

If convex isn't possible, please consider R5 (flat).  Not sure if upside-down R4 or R5 would be prefered.  If not too late, a survey might be helpful.

I really wish convex keycaps were always marked with a "c" in kit images to eliminate any confusion.  For example:

Finally registered here just to express my interest in this!

But as I mentioned briefly on biip’s Discord server, I'd really want to vouch my support for katakana alphas, if at all possible. I understand biip’s dislike for dual legends in sculpted profiles, but even having only katakana legends (with no regular letters, that is, single legends, KAT Milkshake style) would be more than fine.

At the same time, if katakana legends were to happen, I'd kindly ask for trying a different font than on the original ePBT Extended 2048 set. While it certainly was aesthetically pleasing (as anything that touches biip’s hands!), it seemed to be sometimes quite far from how the kanas should correctly look like.

This kind of annoys me because they definitely weren't. I hadn't seen him comment on this before. I assumed they were convex because they were listed as spacebars, but they are clearly not labeled with C, and I thought it was my fault for not paying attention.

If the community calls something a spacebar it really better be convex. Otherwise label it as a blank. I'm not buying any more 40s or spacebar kits without clearly marked convex keycaps. It's not that hard.

I love Extended 2048 and MT3 is my favorite profile. I have dev/tty and godspeed which are awesome, but I just got Serika and the row 4 bottom row on ortho feels really bad in comparison to row 5.

Totally interested, any chance you can make row 5 bottom row happen?

I will add R5 keys :thumb:

colevrak kit

yes

MT3 in PBT? wow! Any chance of having blanks?

yes

Any plans to include the Mac functions set?

yes

1.25u on home row needed for the 40s kit, please!

I will add it.

Any chance of an R1 Pause/Break key in the numpad kit, to support full 1800 style layouts?

yes

Consider adding the following keys:
  • Move R0 Delete from Numpad to Base, in order to support certain 75% layouts.
  • Add a second 1u Alt to Base and Accent Mods, in order to cover Mac bottom rows (2× 1.5u Cmd, 1u Alt required).
  • Add an F13 to Base.
  • Add a second B to Spacebars.
Compatibility looks fantastic otherwise.

Great feedback, I will consider that :)

Awesome, love seeing this in mt3! Two suggestions  though: space bar kit with a second B and  R5 bottom row Option like /dev/tty

B will be added in the spacebars kit and the spacebars will be convex.



I will come back with a massive update as soon as possible!
Thanks for the amazing feedback.

I just noticed that there are R1 End and PgDn in the mods kit. These can be removed as you wouldn't really see these keys used on 75% boards, and for them to be used on 1800/CP/96-key layouts, they would need to be R0 and accompanied by a numpad (both of which are already covered by the numpad kit). So these two keys are a surplus.

My pleasure! Another minor thing: the pipe on the regular \| keys seems to be the only symbol that isn't italicized. Compared to, say, the pipe on the |§ key in the intl kit, which is. Is this by design, or are you going to make the regular pipe italic as well, to give it a bit more contrast compared to \ (atm it's like \| — they both look sort of straight).

I'd still like to see JIS compatibility keys get added to the international kit so that standard alphas are an option for JIS users, but failing that could you at least include the required keys in the katakana kit?  The currently missing keys are:


There have been a couple of threads about JIS support recently, awareness about the issues involved is increasing, and support for JIS layouts in monolegend sets at least is on the rise: GMK Masterpiece blazed a trail which has been followed by GMK Sumi, GMK Shoko, KAT Monochrome, GMK Oni, and others. It's relatively easy to add support -- just four more keys in this case, one of which is also required for correct kana layout for non-Mac ANSI machines as well -- and makes all the difference when it comes to usability for JIS users, who are, after all, the people most likely to actually make use of kana input.

Please, do consider it.  Thank you.

I'll add — 1u R1 key.
The RO legend is in the ISO UK kit.
There is no other missing key since these characters are katakana and the layout is based on AEKII :thumb:

Thanks for the reply.  I did a bit of research on the AEKII, and you're quite right!  The Japanese version of the Apple Extended Keyboard II specifically used an unusual ANSI-style layout like the one you have.  Here is an image for anyone else who is interested: http://www.mac-s.co.jp/images/useditem/513/0310231-4b.jpg.

Other Apple keyboards from a similar period used something closer to the modern Japanese Mac layout; here is the Apple Keyboard II, for example (not extended): http://www.mac-s.co.jp/images/useditem/513/0310231-1c.jpg. It includes all four of the keys I mentioned.

Anyway, I concede the point; since you are paying homage to a specific model of Apple keyboard and not to Apple design and iconography in general, supporting only the layout that that keyboard did is not unreasonable.  It would be nice to have the flexibility to support more modern layouts as well if adding the extra keys does not cost too much, but I at least understand the argument behind not doing so for this particular set now.  Thanks for explaining your reasoning!

There have been a couple of threads about JIS support recently, awareness about the issues involved is increasing, and support for JIS layouts in monolegend sets at least is on the rise: GMK Masterpiece blazed a trail which has been followed by GMK Sumi, GMK Shoko, KAT Monochrome, GMK Oni, and others. It's relatively easy to add support -- just four more keys in this case, one of which is also required for correct kana layout for non-Mac ANSI machines as well -- and makes all the difference when it comes to usability for JIS users, who are, after all, the people most likely to actually make use of kana input.

Please, do consider it.  Thank you.

I'll add — 1u R1 key.
The RO legend is in the ISO UK kit.
There is no other missing key since these characters are katakana and the layout is based on AEKII :thumb:

I'd like to weigh in on this issue. I'll be using standard row numbering (R1 = number row) like you guys did.

In this case, adding a R1 1u ー wouldn't help since some of the other characters would be in the wrong position. That's because, as you said, this kit is based on Apple's ANSI JP layout. You would have to add all of the following keys to make it compatible with JIS (see this link (https://imgur.com/a/Y2rvl1s) for a visual comparison of the layouts):
It may or may not be worth it to add these keys to the ISO Intl kit (separate from the two keys in the ISO UK kit, since they are different).
But adding just ー on its own won't help.



However, there is another issue with the current katakana kit: the Japanese AEKII layout doesn't have a kana legend on the `~ key. This makes the inclusion of a R1 ロ key inaccurate. At the moment, the kit is essentially a hybrid between the Apple ANSI JP layout and the standard ANSI JP layout. But removing this key would leave users without a much-needed top-left R1 key.

I have a different suggestion, which solves the above issues and covers all of the use cases, including JIS, but requires changing the katakana kit from the Apple layout to the standard one. Now, I know that doesn't sound like it would make sense at first (seeing as this whole set is inspired by Apple keyboards), but hear me out — you are already using non-Apple layouts everywhere else in the kit. The UK keys, the international keys, even some of the modifiers: all use standard positions rather than Apple's. So this option may be worth considering.

If you change the katakana kit to match this layout (https://imgur.com/Me3Qwk1) (see my visual guide (https://imgur.com/FvRvypy)), you can fully cover ISO and JIS with just three extra keys on top of the ANSI keys in the kit:
R3 and R4 keys are already in the ISO UK kit, so you would just need to add a R1 ー key to it to cover everything, in case you go with the standard layout.

If you stay with the Apple layout, I'm afraid adding JIS support is more complicated (see the first list) and might not be worth doing at all.



In case you decide to stay with the AEKII layout, I recommend changing the R4 ロ key in the current ISO UK kit to R4 ー, otherwise ISO users are going to have a duplicate ロ legend on the `~ and <> keys :)

Apologies for not catching this before, but would it be possible to add a 1u Ctrl for Row 4? I like to run HHKB with a Ctrl key to the right of RShift, rather than a Fn key. I know I could use the R5 1u Ctrl, but that's not perfect 😜

If you feel that's not appropriate for the Modifiers kits, perhaps it's something that could be added to Nomad? Thanks and, again, LOVING the set!

Be well 🖖

This is really exciting R5!!!!! After getting MT3 godspeed, I have not looked back. Waiting for my MT3 Dev/tty (with R5). (the serika, devtty R2 and susuwatari don't have R5, and it's not very comfortable to have r4 as the bottom row).

Will you be considering an ortho kit? I am so down for this!!!

If not, which sets will i need to get to cover a peronic? Or is there a 40s kit and I missed it?

Unless the ergo kit is going to turn into an assembly kit, it probably shouldn't have 1.25u in it. I understand not wanting to buy more than 1 kit for your needs, but there are many other options for the r5 bottom row to fill those modifiers.

I'd rather have alternate options for some of the other 1.5u keys; things that don't exist in other kits (r4 return, r3 ", r1 delete); or 1.5u blanks.

My point was that you have the option to get whatever r5 modifiers that you want in other kits. If this kit is going to be expanded, it would be nice to have alternate r1, r2, r3, r4 mods that will never be available in other kits. I would still need to pick up another mod kit for the exact 1u r5 mods that I use.

The /dev/tty ergo kit has many options that would be nice to have in the ergo kit here (which are exactly the keys that I asked for)

The reason I posted that image is so that you can see that you get your choices and I get mine. Don't shoot down my critique coz you don't think it valid. Ergo kits need those keys, imo.

There are many boardwalk-esque keyboards now which use R5 1.5u's. and a fewer number which do 1.25u's. i personally don't use 1.25u's, but I will still mention them coz I think those need support too.

If you are implying that I use whatever R5 1.5u's I can scavenge with random legends from other sets but you NEED multiple legends for each key already present, is kind of ironic.

You can't use the R4 1.5u shift (and want enter) but want me to use random R5 1.5u legends and I have to purchase a whole set and even then I don't get the correct legends.

You posted that picture earlier as well, saying that /dev/tty added support for the keys you were asking for. How is it showing me that I get my choices? I get them if I go purchase /dev/tty?

I'm not implying you "scavenge random legends". You never even mentioned WHAT legends you want. Just that you want 2x1.5 and 2x1.25u r5. So presumably they can be whatever? The mods kit and nomad kits have 1.25 r5 mods of every type. You literally have your pick, if you choose to spend the money, of whatever coverage you want in r5. As do I. The ergo kit is missing some r1 mods that I need, but I'm not asking for those, because the other mods are more important. Those can only be added to ergo, and I can get those 1u mods in nomad if I choose.

1.5 r4 enter does not exist, nor does it make sense, in any other kit. If it did, I could just buy that kit if legend accuracy was important to me. Same goes for ANY 1.5u r1 or R3. If /dev/tty offers these as options, there must be other ergo users that can benefit from them. The only place for me to request these keys is in this kit. There is effectively zero chance for them to be included in any other kit.

If ext 2048 ergo has the same coverage as /dev/tty ergo mods, there is nothing more I could personally want, and any ergo users happy with that kit would be happy here. If other ergo users need different modifiers, I would prioritize the 1.5u mods in r1-r4 before adding anything else.

I'm done trying to make this case.

See devtty ergo kit. It fixes most if our issues. I posted that to explain how things could be done, an example of an almost complete ergo kit. It also contains the legends

I would like along with what you wanted as a discussion starter with the designer of this set on how to cater to ergo users. The designer can either use that same template or come up with something unique.

We both had feedback, and we could have had a conversation with the designer instead of YOU deciding how he/she should do it. If you want to make the decisions, run your own set. Until then, don't try to stop others from providing feedback. The decision will be the set designers to make.

Okay. Good to know. I was confused because the voting thing only had a few of the sets. I guess the point of that is to have a pseudo-IC as to which set you’ll do (vintage vs regular)?

There's a lot to like about this. If I join I'm def getting Ergo & Colevrak. Only thing I wish for is addition if some R4 1.5u & 1u keys for thise of us who prefer it over R5.

What kit are you talking about?
Not sure actually which kit would be appropriate. I just wish there was an option for R4 Tsangan bottom row mods.

There is a generic-looking R4 1u Fn/Code key in Modifiers, as well as a second one in Nomad, why not use that?

I use the HHKB layout but instead of the 1u Fn key next to the RShift, I prefer to use that as a Ctrl key. There are definitely keys I could use instead, and there are matching >_ keys I could use in place of the Ctrl keys, but it wouldn't be perfect  :(

So I just wanted to ask  :thumb:

I told that you shouldn't mind about the tones of the grayscale pics since the samples are featuring Serika (injected) colors.

Aware, I just didn't know what those color codes referred to; that's what I was asking about specifically but after some digging I found some color charts that answered it. Turns out L9 is the yellowish tinted color & I'm pretty bummed out. But it seems like you're set & you can't accommodate everyone. Just give me a mention if you do another IC in WS1/2, because they'd be perfect. GLWS.

Without getting into politics, they officially announced they miscommunicated the materials used in Holy Panda switch housings which were advertised to be POM. They also used the designer BOB’s likeness on a novelty keycap without his permission.

It would be easy to design, but for production, you'd be producing an entirely different product. You have to change the plastic resin to produce the keys in a different color, and then run them through the same dyesub process as well. It's far from an easy addition.

I’ll offer my two cents on the color discussion: there a bunch of bright white or neutral white sets available right now, and the un-bleached, “natural” tone of this set is one of the distinctive features that makes the set interesting to me. It also feels more authentic to the AEKII aesthetic the set is going for.

Hi!
This is gorgeous, I'm so fan.

One question though, I'm not sure I can properly identify those keys in your kits:
- Pn
- Insert
- Suppr
- Print screen
- Scroll lock
- Pause

I own a Vortex Tab90M (ISO), and all these keys are on R0, above the backspace and the numpad. I guess Pause key should be the coffee mug of ICONO kit, but I would love having your insight about the other keys.
The rest is covered by ALPHAS + MODIFIERS + ACCENT MODIFIERS (lovely) + NUMPAD + ISO INTL + ICONO (Fn on R5, Coffee Pause, and fun).

Thanks

Yeah, thanks a lot. So finally I have it all sorted.
The 1 fn is available only in Nomad and Accent Nomad but I could use the 1 fn2 from Modifier/Accent Modifier. It's a no brainer.
The pn does not exist in R0, only R5 in Nomad, I'll have to fish something in Icono maybe. Got a "Cal" key in the upper-right corner, R0 then, pretty useless, could stuff one key from Icono too.
Everything else is covered.

In the mean time I could see if I can re-program the Vortex Tab90M so that: cal becomes pn, pn becomes fn, fn becomes command (apple key), as I mostly use this keyboard on a Mac.

Forgive me, I am finding no reference to those color codes. I looked at the Deskthority wiki and PMK's PBT color guide and did not find these codes. I did a cursory search for MT3 color codes to no avail.
More to the point my question was related to the thread Debido666 referenced. They make mention that a BoW set will be happening in December same as MT3 Extended 2048.

Is this the BoW to which they have been referring?

MT3 Extended 2048:
Quote
Keycaps spec: PBT plastic with dye-subbed legends. L9/BV colors.
Forgive me, I am finding no reference to those color codes. I looked at the Deskthority wiki and PMK's PBT color guide and did not find these codes. I did a cursory search for MT3 color codes to no avail.
More to the point my question was related to the thread Debido666 referenced. They make mention that a BoW set will be happening in December same as MT3 Extended 2048. If you need to play things close to the vest I totally understand. I'm just trying glean some sort of insight as to a release schedule and available sets.

He is referring to the color equivalent in GMK colors L9 and BV.  L9 is common, BV can be seen in the color ring here:

Thank you both for that information. Still looking forward to a Mac compatible set with the good ol' Mac aesthetic.

A bit late to arrive here, but what are the kitting suggestions for Boardwalk users with 2x 2u spaces? Actually I heard 2x 2u spacebars are also not uncommon for any ortho set as a matter of fact.

I was hoping that KAT ergo kit guidelines (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=105714.0) to include 2 convex 2u spacebars would apply here. But looking at kits posted on the first page it seems we have just 2x concave (which follow the profile of numpad-enter and should never be used for horizontal spacebar purposes either way). Worse than that I don't even see any additional kit that would have 2x 2u concave. Do we really need to get Ergo + Nomad + Spacebars to equip such keyboard?  :'( That would be very unfortunate.

Is there anything we can do about it?

 I thinks "Accent Modifiers kit" still missing some keys. Tab, Backspace and Delete (split backspace). Can you add these in?
Title: Re: [IC] MT3 Extended 2048
Post by: azzipa on Thu, 05 November 2020, 20:06:09
Do the icon keys not interest you? Granted the 1u backspace will have to substitute for delete if going split BS (and you'd have the same icon directly below for your 'real' backspace) but looks like you're covered.

white is light beige (check the first post of the thread for more info).
The prototype featured another color scheme that's why I displayed it in grayscale though.

I perfectly understand that set is designed in the beige color. I just replied to singlexyz to say that photos of prototype is not referred to any actual color of the design.

Btw as fellow ePBT 2048 Extended user I am waiting for the GB.

Any chance there will be more accent offerings? I would love to be able to fill all the modifiers on a HHKB layout with purple for example.

It's probably been mentioned, and maybe the kitting is final but I figure it can't hurt to say that I really really absolutely would love a second 2u spacebar in the Nomad kit.

I closed out the page and I can't find the person I was replying too, but there are 6 ABS Doubleshot MT3 sets on Drop right now.  There are also a couple more kits that aren't on sale right now.  I would call it market saturation, though I am not complaining.

Agreed, but there's something like 7 months left on 3277 and unless you really prefer MT3 to GMK you might check out Deepwell (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=109622.0;topicseen)

Sorry if already answered, but will the color nomad accent kits include lower and raise icons? I saw them in the off white nomad kit, but not in the color accent one.

The Nomad and Accent Nomad kits lack legend support for staggered 40% boards that have symmetrical bottoms rows. Examples include the TMO50/Nightmare, TMO50v2, Adélie, Prime_E, Cajal, Phoenix 45, etc. The Nomad kit is lacking a second 1.5u Alt, second 1u OS, second 1.25u OS, and a second 1.25u Ctrl. A 1.25u R3 Ctrl would be nice too, like GMK Serika R2. The Nomad Accents kit could use a second 1.25u Ctrl and OS, a second 1.5u Alt, and a second 1u OS (and the aforementioned R3 1.25u Ctrl). This is all assuming the Nomad kits are meant to be used without the corresponding mods kits.

Definitely agree they need to offer the 1.25/1.5/etc  space bars in pairs.

Yeah i already saw that AZERTY is supported, what i asked is a kit with only the FR keys in it, like biip did for Milkshake.

That's probably the reason why it's available at a discount for the first 30 days.

If Drop would include R5 in their “stock” kits, I’d be down for all of these ABS kits!

If I’m not wrong, only 3 MT3 kits have r5 so far:
Godspeed, Dev/tty R3, extended.
