Also very minor update on timing:

-Deskmat design: coming earlier than expected (will release very soon)

Thank you! Never used a 40% before and probably won't ever, but with ePBT kitting, I figured it was a waste not to try and add.

Very nice and i love the green, but i have one question about the "white" keys. Which render shows the right color for the light keycaps better?

I would say it's closest to the darker U80 render (top-down view). The main render with the fireplace has warm light reflecting in that one, and the Eclipse render/kit renders have a harsh white light on it. If you have GMK Cafe or knows what that set looks like, it SHOULD be the same color as the alphas (given it is a GMK color and it is being color matched by ePBT), but from my knowledge, recent ePBT sets have color-matched relatively well.

Please read this in-depth

I am insanely sorry for how last second this is with it being literally 1-2 days before GB. I've been asking for quotes for quite a while, and I received them officially yesterday. Realistically, I was not too keen on the prices that were set for the base kit, but I have reached a price that I am definitely more happy with. I would prefer to update this when all of my vendors have replied, but this post will only include the prices of KBDFans for now and will be updated tomorrow (literally the last day).

When I was given the quotes, I knew I had to cut down the cost of the base kit. Every other kit is amazingly priced (in my opinion), but the base kit was far too expensive -- especially in a GMK hype market. That being said, I have decided to move ISO kitting + ISO-UK to international kit and Numpad kit was also removed from the base kit. Hopefully, with the prices of the child kits, it is still relatively affordable if you do use international/ISO/numpad. Again, I do apologize and know that making a last-minute decision like this does not look too good

. However, with numpads being generally less popular in the community, this was the course of action that I decided was best to get a relatively cheaper base kit.

Do note that KBDFans (manufacturer of ePBT) has only recently picked up on reverse dye-sub, so sets like BIIP X DarkWraith and this set cost relatively higher than a normal ePBT set. Compared to Dark Wraith, this does not have Numpad, but it has more accent keys and some other compatibility keys.

These are likely to be the pricing for KBDFans (just for precaution, I'll just add "prices are not finalized and are subject to change" just in case, but I'm at least 1% sure these are going to be the prices:

Oh, also THOK cap will be AROUND $59 (very high MOQ due to being such an intricate design, but it's a HOT design (Brass w/ PVD Satin Green))

Nearly 100 for TKL base without basic ISO, GMK price? I was looking forward this GB.... Thoses 4 ISO keys can attract a lot more buyers

Well, it's the addition of accents (spacebars, arrows, even F-row keys) that is pushing it to that price. Also, the MOQ for GMK sets vary, ePBT relatively stays the same and is unchanged with MOQ quantities. I am aware that I made it less appealing to basic ISO users (I feel terrible, I swear), but I had to cut something. Additionally, I wanted to make pricing for the base kit as low as possible. From recent GBs, (ePBT Skadi, Dark Wraith), this is around the same pricing except I prioritized accents over basic ISO.

Also again, I'd just like to reiterate that reverse dye-sub pricing from ePBT is relatively higher, so I apologize for that.

snurrebassen · « **Reply #130 on:** Thu, 28 January 2021, 08:19:01 »

Honestly, $99 for a base and $18 for international is a great price! Regardless of the fact that it’s ePBT and not GMK. As an ISO user, i don’t mind there not being ISO keys in the base kit, as long as the int. kit doesn’t cost $50+. Usually i’d have to pay a bunch just for an extra ISO enter and a few international keys. This way, those who don’t need ISO get a fairly priced base kit! Nice work

Yep! All prices SHOULD be public before GB starts (1/29 PST time zone). I am waiting for all vendors to get back to me. Do note that KBDFans will be the cheapest because it is manufactured there and shipped directly from there. Other vendors will have to account for tariffs/tax/VAT/etc. but overall, hopefully, it is cheaper to get from them than a vendor overseas!

Should be the same price as previous deskmats sold on whichever vendor. Kono will 99% likely be priced at $16.99! Other vendors are likely to remain constant with previous sales as well.

Cutting down the base kit, I moved the 1.25 shift to the international/iso kit. That shift is usually used in place of the 2.25 shift with the <> or \| key next to it in ISO, so that's why it is now in that kit (goal was to get price tag under 100). As for the AltGr, that was in one of my IC forms a while back, and the demand for it was close to none, and as GB already started, that change will not happen, sorry.
