Why choose ePbt? Because the MOQ policy is way more flexible for child kits with less popularity like FR/BE/Norde/dvorak and so on. This set without this compatibility makes no real sense to me as i mainly made it for people not being able to get for example GMK Oblivion / Nord which are in the same tones / theme.

(https://i.imgur.com/ba5RDvm.jpg) (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=108119.0)Seems like i can't find the group-buy on Candykeys :(
Is this a first in reverse–dyed?
ThanksIs this a first in reverse–dyed?
Yes
That spacebar kit's 1.75C looks more like 1.25C.
DeskHero’s screenshot for the base kit doesn’t seem to include 1.5U supers but the pics here do. Which is correct? Also numpad kit has sublegends on DH but not here. I'm guessing they just have old screenshots.
Usually epbt has no moq on child kits - dunno how it is here

This is the case. All kits will be made
Congrats for the great GB and really happy to see it achieve MOQ on its first day!
I can't find the information about the key profile, is that Cherry?

Awesome keycaps! These will be my first ones :DYou can disregard that, probably just an artefact from their website formatting or some such. You'll get your spacebar kit dw.
But why was e.g. candykeys also showing an MOQ on the smaller kits if they will be made nonetheless? (I was kind of confused as I really need the spacebar kit for my build).
Btw, will updates be posted here or how/where will they be published? :)
1) I got a KeyChron K6. Am i correct those "be the one" are fitting 100%?
2) So i got the KeyChron i wonder if the "be the one" got some shine through at the white fonts or not. Tbh it is not necessary for me but would be good to know.
4) GMK produces the keys. Does they still produce in Germany? If yes, are the CandyKeys Kits send directly to them? Meaning keys not around the world to be back in Germany again?
It's been nearly a month since the GB ended. Has ePBT told you the shipping date for these caps?
Stores may have automatic status change from previous plannings. I trust zekth notifications and not pay attention to other ones :D

Indeed, last news i got from Kbdfans was that the tooling of ePbt will be ready for production in May. I'll have to check for the prototypes before and then we'll run the production. Once i got a shipping timeframe i'll share here don't worry.
Any new update on this? Thank you!
thank god it's not gmk so we don't have to wait one and a half year
Any news of the production ?
No sorry. Once i have news on delivery data / prototype be sure i'll update the thread :thumb:
ePBT Grand Tour ran about the same time and is delivering now, so hopefully they will get around to it soon, Be The One has way more kits so I assume that's the reason for the wait.
Delivering time will be confirmed at the end of GB by ePbt, we are targeting end of 2021.
But i do not understand? Is it like it is not allowed to ask GMK or EPBT about current states? Is it like "you should never ask if you do +1Month". I do not get the point in initiating a group buy and be quiet for 1/2 Year just telling people asking "no news".
Sorry, but this goes not well in my business understanding.
I have only one desire, to be able to cancel all the GBs in which I participate in order to no longer support this kind of behavior!

if i could i would love to do so too ... in the end i will never participate in group buys anymore. sad :(
Kbdfans put out an update, apparently it's now in production.

Merry Xmas everyone. I received the samples today.Looks great to me from this pic! How straight is the 7u spacebar?

At first glance everything looks fine. I'll take more time to take pictures and also send the samples to Biip for second approval as he helped me on this project.

I see 'F' is a bit off. What about other legends?
TBH, the first picture looks quite nice. The picture aboce looks like too much blue. What was going wrong there=?
Here's a super potato pic (took with my phone with awfull light):
Here is a High def pic of the set:

Looks like the dye sub came out nice and crisp. [...]?I Agree. Now let's hope they can actually improve positioning for the production run compared to prototype.
thanks. much better. btw. zippyshare not working or?Same here, I can see the picture through GH though.
Can we see any photos where they're mounted on a keyboard?
The sample pics look a lot darker than the original GB renders. Is it due to the ambient lighting condition when the picture was taken or are they actually much darker?

Good point, it seems to be darker than the original renders.
Colors fit the pantone ref and as you have seen with all the pictures shown above this is not an easy set to capture the colors from.
Current colors have been validated by Biip and I, waiting for the full set of samples from ePbt.

That's a good new, i know it's hard to take a picture with correct color, so many parameters can vary. When you have the full set, can you make a picture with the pantone reference net to the keyset?

Received the sample, send it to the designer for reconfirmation (2022-02-14)
Lack of communication is not really on me, as i said most of the time i'm waiting from ePbt. Once i got news i share them, i'm currently waiting (once again) for the full set of kits.
Ranting in the comment won't make the caps come faster. I can't do anything on my side.

This is somethign i doubt. Every contact i got with chinese companies is kind of "if you not care they do not care". If you talk a lot with them it seems they hurry more. It is like that all the time.
So i think having contact to multiple chinese companies "you could do something". I think honestly you do not care.
Latest News from ePBT Manufacturer (March 30th, 2022)
Due to the need of epidemic control, ePBT factories have become locked areas. So the production progress of all projects will be delayed. After the area is unblocked, we will continue to follow up on the progress of samples and production.
I sent a message this week and the answer i got was:

So final samples are on its way to KBDFans? What are the steps that come after that before manufacturing can begin? I feel like this GB has fell through every crack on the road, with as little information as possible being shared by everyone involved. :mad:
It is not EPBT. EPBT is doing fine with their own keycaps. Everything is fluid there. :)Fluid for already in production keycaps right ? Or you think it's KBDFans impeding on the project ?
Who knows. But kbdfans seems to have no issues at all.It is not EPBT. EPBT is doing fine with their own keycaps. Everything is fluid there. :)Fluid for already in production keycaps right ? Or you think it's KBDFans impeding on the project ?
Well from Zekth messages I don't think he can do anything more, every time he asks he has those vague answers. We can just wait, I guess.Who knows.

damn that's rough

Quick ****ty pics
looks really very good; I am very happy. Such an exact color matching with pbt material is not a matter of course.
but what is this ESC key? ;D

This is a french layout keyboard sir if you haven't notice.
Mine arrived today.
Honest opinions on the colour with the blue QK65?
These caps feel so nice, my previous set were ABS epbt set.

I hope you noticed after taking the picture you're using the wrong modifiers on the bottom row
I ordered mine from KBDfans along with RamenStop. Nothing has been shipped to me. Are these a**holes really going to hold mine hostage until RamenStop is done? Am I not entitled to having them eat the minor cost of two separate shipments for a well-over-a-year-late product?

What font is used on these keycaps?
Hello,
yes thats because some vendors shipped via air freight while we stick to freight trains. We should recieve ours in around two-three weeks.
We are also already hyped
Best regards

Up for this, any news ?
Might buy this one when it's available, finally a kit with FR support
Any further updates from CandyKeys? I've tried reaching out to them but no response.
I see CandyKeys is living up to its reputation

Likely still in transit for them? Ours are due to arrive by sea mid month so Europe probably early Jan?
We won't unfortunately, however CK should have plenty.
I am so happy i can easily get a refund after i received this keycaps 2 years after group buy. God, i will get a BIG smile sending it back to the retailer. What a s**t show ...
According to their discord, they're currently sending them out. However, the status update on my order hasn't changed and I've not received any notification yet. Let's hope that changes in the next day or so.

Finally got mine from candykeys too! It's weird that after 2 years of regularly checking on this forum and on CK's discord this thing is finally here. I don't think anything could completely survive the expectations after 2 years of wait but I must say I'm very pleased with the colours, the feel, the sound... It's keyboard keys people, but very good keys (yes my keyboard passion faded as covid did). Thanks again Zekth for designing these and supporting the crazy ISO-Be layout!+1
Just got my caps today.
Oof :(
