[GB] EnjoyPBT Slate

[rondg]

Are there really no R2 PgDn and R1 End keys?

both keys are there. epbt uses inverse profile naming compared to cherry/GMK

This is really unfortunate, I vastly prefer Home, PgUp, PgDn, End in a column on my 65% & 75% boards. 

I mean, it's just plastic so not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but this change is not consistently represented.  While I do see updated kits on hineybush.com, both the OP and kbdfans have images which show the R1 End & R2 PgDn.

Oh wow yeah I see what you mean now. Those ones are supposed to be in the kit. I'll see if I can get that updated asap.

Awesome, appreciate the quick response.  Still love the colors and very much looking forward to the set regardless of how this pans out.

currently hurting myself for missing this, please tell me there will be extras

Hineybush confirmed he'd have extras up on his store, but idk if he ordered a lot so you'd have to be quick once the keycaps arrive, he also said some vendors might have bought extras, there is no more info about that however, good luck!

there will be like 40 extra base kits, accent kits and then less of the other kits. no other vendors got extras besides mykeyboard. i think kbdfans will have some. these won't be for sale (on my site) until all of the gb ones are shipped

Will my keyboard.eu have extras of the 40's and spacebar kit? I bought the base, international, and accent kit, but I'd like the full collection if possible

Nice, thank you!

[Sic_Alpha]

I missed this too...  Will be looking for one of those extra sets once GB has shipped

[raptorzoz]

Any new info on how production is going? Also how long does it typically take for the keycaps to be shipped to proxies after production has finished?

Assuming well so far. haven't checked in a while. should be 1-2 weeks for shipping. I'll be receiving all US orders regardless.

The modifier keys in Grayscale were all impressively not-warped, but the spacebars were all consistently warped.

Do you know if there's anything that can be done about it, or is that just the price we have to pay for keeping cost low (and having the rest of the caps be pretty much flawless)?

Seems like the warping is mostly cosmetic anyway, maybe it makes the stabs sound a little worse but it's not catastrophic. But would definitely be nice if it could be fixed.

If it's the spacebar, I'm pretty sure it's fixable with a little heat and some evenly distributed weight applied.

I did ask Wei a while back and he said it "wouldn't be an issue". I can't make any guarantees though. I'm thinking the homebrew method of a hairdryer and some books is easiest to fix at home, I don't have plans to do anything on my end with all of the orders.

Hope eventually ePBT managed to produce non-warped spacebar like how Ducky does.

Last few ePBT sets I've purchased have all had warped spacebars but I tried the hairdryer method tonight with good success. I don't think it's anything to worry about, as long as you don't mind fixing it.

Looks like KBDFans updated their IC page stating they should receive Slate at the end of the week. Is this true for you as well Hineybush?

If so, should US customers expect shipping sometime very soon? Thanks.

I was told this too. I'm estimating another week on top of his estimate to reach me. Shipping will start ASAP after that. I will be out of town in early April, so that'll likely delay things a little bit.

[voxkey]

Awesome! Thanks for the update!

Waiting on the shipping charge from KBDfans for the US orders, then they'll be en route to me.

There was an issue with the blue enters that Wei was not happy with. They're remaking them and the ETA is about one week.

I certainly appreciate yours and Wei’s commitment to deliver a great product.

Great! Will there be any extra ortho kits available too, or just the base kit?

When will they come up for sale? Also are either of the colors close to GMK stock colors (for buying extra ergo keys from the GMK blank buy)?

The parcels have shipped to me, I'll receive them Monday and immediately start sorting and shipping.

[dantambok]

Nice what are the chances you ship before kbdfans  )

[hineybush]

Not sure about their timeline, I'll get the US orders out over the next week once I get them in though.

[futurecrime]

Oh rad. I can't remember where I bought this from. I guess from mykeyboard. Anyway, great to know it's coming soon.

[hineybush]

Reminder that I'll be receiving the US sets tomorrow. I'm waiting on some more bubble wrap and stickers but everything will be here by Wednesday. I'll likely start packing then.
