[IC] PBTfans™ Pyga / R3 Prototype photoshoot updated

[aiglatsonstudio]

PBTfans™ Pyga

Greetings, enthusiasts.

Welcome to the interest check forum of our latest product, the “ PBTfans™ Pyga ” by Aiglatson Studio. The intention of this post is to gauge interest and ask for the community’s feedback to estimate demand.

• INSPIRATION

The theme of Pbtfans Pyga was inspired by the distinctive red colour of Pyrope Garnet, a dark red mysterious gemstone. The word “pyrope” comes from the Greek word “puropus”, which translates to “fiery-eyed”, referring to its vibrance colour and high refractive index. People tend to believe that Pyrope Garnet possesses the power to regain lost passion. It is the perfect gemstone to help you recover from a lethargic state by providing positive energy to enhance daily fulfilment and switch pessimistic thinking to optimistic thinking.
   
The highlight of this set gravitates toward the fact that each key comes with an inner opaque layer and a semi-transparent outer layer that creates shades of light and dark red when combined. Just like how a Pyrope Garnet reflects light.

Why does a set with Greek inspiration have hiragana sublegends? Just because?
Not sure what the point of having three R2 1u novelties is when there's no 40s support in the set. Honestly not sure what the point of having three of the novelties in any row is.
I'm assuming the "2.5U" spacebar is actually 2.25u, if not it should be.
If you're going to add 2x 3u bars you may as well add a 1u bar as well for 3/1/3 split since, once again, you have no 40s support.
You're missing R1 1u Pg Dn and R1 1u End in your numpad kit

[Keeblet_257]

why japanese subs instead of greek sublegends? it just seems forced ngl. A greek inspired set that doesnt offer greek subs but instead chooses japanese? just why?
There are no novs so you could idk just change the "Inspiration" to something japanese? or at least add greek sublegends?


I can already see Chat and teams toxic reply, I dont know what he will write but I am almost sure that I can agree with him.
PS will edit if I do or dont when he posts

[zhol]

replacing hiragana sub alpha kit for some greek sublegends add-on kit would be sick.
keys with *.** ct legends could probably be moved out to their own novelties kit
40's support would be nice, many other pbtfans sets seem like they more-or-less use a base suggested kit provided by manufacturer

Toxic? Probably
Geekhack for the past year has been endless praise for even the worst projects.
Kbdfans runs everything with hiragana they see the money it generates.
1. Chinese have dropped hate for the Japanese and finally moved on (hopefully)
2. who even is the set creator
3. what do you even want me to say
4. This ic is 100% pointless. When you see kbdfans its probably going to be created as presented on the ic rendering an ic useless.
5. Theres not much to say yall already covered majority of the points I would make

[Leszy]

Renders are stunning, wonder how prototype will look

I don’t have words to express how moronic this statement is

[pixelpusher]

Why not render them with the expected holes from injection molding? 

[superjackie]

cool color!

[DirtyGingy]

I know the hirgagana sublegends are a default, but I can't be the only one thinking that some different subs would fit this so well. Cyrillic comes to mind, but others might fit well

[NihonCK]

To create the transparent effect, that is currently not possible. (maybe in the future they can?)

[NihonCK]

They would probably have to invest in another mold to provide something thats not Hiragana sublegends

Maybe drop the Hiragana and add 40's might be a good idea

Hi guys, thank you for all your useful comments. Having greek sublegends just have so much more sense. Therefore, I have decided to drop the hiragana alpha kit. I've also contacted Kbdfans regarding the greek sublegend, and they inform me that it could be done, although through uv printing. I will update as soon as I have anything solid. Thank you.

if I recall correctly, Neon is also UV and has a coating to protect the legends

[aiglatsonstudio]

Regarding to the product page, Pbtfans neon is double shotted for latin base and triple shotted for hiragana sub legend.

[JazSquatch]

this is such a clean set, even if it were to have those holes

[DirtyGingy]

Will it be base an numbpad only? Because an international kit, 40s, and spacebars are pretty damn popular and useful.

[Gerevala]

Greek but Japan.

[antifocus]

Love the color scheme and how you incorporate the translucent abs into your design, very interested, however I hope there's some change can be done with the 1.00ct legends as it doesn't differ much from your normal modifiers, maybe some gem related design or just remove all together

[aiglatsonstudio]

Why not render them with the expected holes from injection molding?

I have contacted Kbdfans regarding this matter, cad model with holes will be provided soon and I will update the renders as soon as I got them. Thank you.

[phinix]

Such an amazing colors, fantastic. I wish it was possible to make them without those holes.
I'll wait then till manufacturing will let do that, even if it would need to be 30 years:)

[vincesatsong]

The color looks nice! 

[Cylent]

Good choice on removing the japanese subs. I've created a greek sublegend file on the KRK discord server legend repository that is open source. Your main options are: Capitalized partial (see GMK evil eye for example, though GMK molds have minor issues) or slightly different variations of lowercase full sublegends (see ePBT Kavala, ePBT Hellas for a couple of variations). Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like assistance choosing between the options on Greek sublegends.

[PuNkShoO]

A stunning red set, indeed. I am curious how the secondary layers will show through, though. PBTFans Neon is a nice set but when you get into triple shot territory that tertiary layer does begin to look a little messy. Excited for this nonetheless. The red is beautiful.

[Kokaloo]

this is so cool, i love how neon turned out. please consider 40s!! lots of other pbtfans sets have them

[Ram08]

Man I'd love the same colourway but without holes (and maybe white modifiers with black legends)! Looks dope.

[DeMechanica]

I’d like this in PBT, PBTFans’ PBT is super super nice quality, I haven’t seen better quality keycaps, and this is a lovely colour way.

[Fredington]

How about a blanks kit? To mimic the look of the HHKB Pro HG?

[Friendship]

very neat set, will definitely keep my eye on this, also i kinda like the injection molding detail hole things.

one thing to note: your 2.25U spacebar is labeled 2.5U on the base kit render

Edit: Dede already made mention of it, I'm a fool who didn't search first

[WaynaPawiasek]

i'd like to see an international kit; othert than that looks great. Greek sublegend is lit

[a1liz]

Love the color! Hope to see the 40's kits!

Thank you for your compliments, but the holes are inevitable. Holes are the by product from how the mould is built. Every Pbtfans set will have those holes, sometimes you just can't see them because they were hidden by the opaque outer layer.

Thank you so much Cylent. I can't say how grateful I am, you legend. 

[aiglatsonstudio]

Regarding your feedbacks, the Greek Sublegend Kit is finally added guys. I hope you liked it. Thank you.

[Leszy]

Great to see greek sublegends!
I understand that japanese ones appeal strongly to specific part of the community, but I am very glad that people seem to be open to experience more of a niche alphabets. Letters themself are art and expressions of broader culture.
Alphabets are just very, very cool.

Thank you so much Cylent. I can't say how grateful I am, you legend.

I'm always happy to help designers when it comes to greek sublegends. While I prefer full lowercase greek subs, these partial capitalized are a solid option, look very nice, and will be a bit cheaper with UV printing than full lowercase. I think it would be cool to ask in the IC if people want the subs in base or in a child kit, as the partial capitalized subs look really good with the red base color.

I agree with the sub legends, and I really really hope since its just a few uppercase it will be included in the base since greek subs is one of the biggest reasons why I want this set in the first place. Would also like to see an all-in-one bundle but that may just be me 

[Puddsy]

somehow missed this, would love to see a physical sample before shipping. the renders look great though, may pick up an extra if they come out OK

[CaesarAZealad]

those greek subs look 100% man. Glad you changed from the ****ty hirigana

[hottrout]

The renders look amazing, but I agree that samples would need to be seen before hand.  Love the colour and please get some UK ISO added into that it.  This would be a no brainer purchase for me.

[CHAOSERA]

This style mix is a little weird.

[MrBingo]

the renders look sick, im definitely buying this, hopefully the real keycaps looks like this, good luck!

[aamo]

So the greek subs will be uv printed and not double shot right?
Maybe that should be added in the specs to avoid confusion, as in the renders the subs look identical to the latin legends

[ankit]

Samples look great. Please do text only R3 Control, the text+icon R3 control is horrible.


Also these don't belong in base imo.

[finalarcadia]

Text color looks white in samples as opposed to beige

[zhol]

I assume that's just sampling tech more than the colors, and they'll match against the legend color later

[Lingula]

Yeap, agree with the previous post, the text color is a bit plain white. I would like to see it lean to champaign-beige or at least double cream instead of white.

[irithyll]

Samples look better than I expected.

[Friendship]

Text color looks white in samples as opposed to beige

i do kinda like the whiter legends, maybe something in the middle would be a sweet spot IMO

[WaynaPawiasek]

1) why is there no "alpha" under the a for example; aren't there a few sublegends missing?
!
2) will there be an international kit?

3) samples look much better than expected! Glwic

The "lack" of sublegends is likely due to the use of the capitalized partial, Greek sublegends.

[less_blank]

Samples look good, remind me of those red plastic cups you'd get at a restaurant.

[EdgeOfInfinity]

sample pics are great quality

[aiglatsonstudio]

Text color looks white in samples as opposed to beige

I must agree with you that the legend colour looks a little desaturated in person. However, I have already taken action and decided to change the colour code. I will make sure the next round of samples will look considerably similar to the renders. Thank you.

Thank you for this change, i much prefer the more cream-colored legends, especially compared to those white looking legends in the samples.

[lootega]

Really wish the keycaps weren't transparent, the holes in em kinda ruin the aesthetic

[antifocus]

Yeah I hope they can keep the beige/goldish legend color

The white color looks flat to me

[leexy]

samples looking good. white legends look better than yellow legends

[Kokaloo]

I'm holding off on if white or gold is better until we see samples of both. From the way these are made the bottom shot might alter the entire color of the keycap depending on if it's darker or not. White legends made the keycap a lot lighter of a red, and hopefully the gold color won't affect it too much.

I totally agree with you that colour of the bottom shot will have an influence to the overall colour. I will make sure to upload the R2 samples photos once I got them. The legend colour has been changed from RAL 1015 to RAL 1014, which is a more saturated beige.

Looking forward to these ass caps.   



I do like me some rump tho.  So it's really a compliment.

[synthtastic]

Great looking samples. This is pretty damn cool. Any love for 40s?

[Rumblethumps]

The holes actually look less prominent than expected on the samples. Of course that could depend on the lighting, but it's encouraging!

The whiter legends in the samples looks nice, but the original beige in the renders looks more unique and stands out more imo.

[Hawkenfreude]

Were any samples of larger keys made? The 1u caps look great, but I'd also like to see modifiers and bars.

[Scriba]

Looks good

[lemanh97]

Gold Legend and burgundy caps looks so good! I feel more power already. Looking forward to the set!
If there is any renders of the set on red/burgundy case would be great! 'cause I bet many would buy the set for a red/burgundy keyboard.

Is the goal to still be closer to gold? Something that I have issues with often is that renders look gold, but they end up looking beige. Any way we can get a color code to confirm?

This is hilarious

[nakaru]

I'm so excited to see what the next samples with the more saturated legends will look like as I'm much more interested in that gold/beige color over the more white color.
Also any hints about those similarly beautiful switches that are in the teasers? Having a set of switches that matches the colors of the keycaps would be *chef's kiss* (would like them to be tactile personally but I'd probably get them regardless.)
Thank you again for making this IC and I can't wait for them to go on sale! (please please please have an all in one bundle <3 )

[lonewolf4]

Love it, buying for sure if there is ISO-PT support.

[aiglatsonstudio]

As per your requests, the international kit had been added to the set 

[lonewolf4]

Thank you, would you consider adding the ç for Portugal and the ñ for our Spanish brothers? I think it is all that's needed to fully support ISO-PT and ES

Currently, there is not a lot of interest in the 40's kit from what I see in the IC form. However, if there is enough demand, we would consider adding it  .

[ale210]

International kit doens't has support to spanish...sorry about that... The market is growing.

[aiglatsonstudio]

Hello hello. Here's a little update of the project. We have already received the second round of prototype; however, we are not fully satisfied. The legend is still undersaturated and the overall colour is too bright. We apologies for the delay, but please rest assure that we are working very hard with kbdfans to make sure that this set is as stunning as the renders came out. We appreciate you patient and promise will give all of you an update as soon as there. Thank you.

[ankit]

[antifocus]

Thanks for keeping us updated, eagerly looking forward to this, also hope you would reconsider those mods in the base kit.

[firimp]

If you look at the back of the keycaps, you'll see that the legends are already beige in color, but due to a visual error, the legends still look like white when viewed from the front, which I believe is the main problem with the current samples (image from kbdfans's qq)

Thank you for explaining this so well. The under looks beige; however the legend somehow looks desaturated and brighter when exposed to natural light. Therefore, we have decided to change the legend color to RAL 1001 instead of RAL 1014. Hopefully, this will solve the problem we are currently facing 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Simply amazing. Good luck with the IC and GB

Hello hello. Long time no see 😁. We are finally back with some exciting updates about PBTfans™ Pyga. First of all, colour matching has been completed. After three rounds of prototyping, we finally achieved a look similar to the renders. We have to say that the latest samples look incredibly lovely on hand. Photoshoot of the prototype will be updated soon. Moreover, in collaboration with PBTfans™ Pyga, we are proud to introduce you to this gorgeous brass artisan keycap. It comes in R1, 1U Cherry profile with sandblasted surface finishing. We hope you all like what you see 😍.

[pixelpusher]

Oh wow, the artisan sounds pretty epic.  Looking forward to seeing the final results.

[caughtquick]

Really digging the medieval, almost gothic font on this one. GLWIC

[arr1]

Excellent set. Glad it now has greeksublegends.

[Nuap]

Very epic 


Please please remove the icon from R3 control, command, and stepped command. It looks really out of place and crowded.

Hard not to buy this set.

Thank you. We appreciate all your compliments. Just a little update for you guys, we have decided to add the 40s kit and the set is now ready for production

Could I request that a 1.5U and 1.25U space bar be also added.  It is rare that this is the case, but I love to have a split space on the left of most of my ergo builds and usually end up having to use a 1.25 ALT or CRTL cap instead of an actual space bar.

Other than that and with UK ISO covered in the International kit, I love this set.  Keep it dark, as dark as the renders.  Too many sets are too light in colour when compared to their renders.

R3 samples photoshoot has been uploaded. PBTfans™ Pyga is also now production and it will be ready for the in-stock sale real soon. Thank you.

[makikatze]

Really nice, the legends look much better than in the first round and more like in the renders. Can't wait to get a set as soon as it hits the vendors

[davidhellmann]

Would be interesting how this set matched with the plum iron165 🤔

[synthtastic]

Thanks for adding a 40s kit! PBTfans Neon and Klein Blue are awesome, and this is gonna be just as good.

That's a really pretty set, reminds me of old glass bottles

[DirtyGingy]

I'm just sitting here, waiting for it to go live. Definitely one of my most anticipated sets. Also, no dedicated US vendor?

OOh, that's a nice idea.  What about a green version down the road?  Like a green glass bottle.  Or perhaps brown, too?

Just curious will Divinikey or any other US vendors end up carrying this set like other PBTfans sets?

Is this actually live yet?

It seems to be, saw.some people with the in-stock release. And I put in my order for my regional vendor.

Its been out for couple weeks already. Suggest to follow zfrontier app or web and kdbfans discord. Lot of users with real pictures and other sets not listed here. https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/

Zfrontier is probably better resource than geekhack but you still need to monitor geekhack/etc.

I will need to buy from Prototypist but I do not see it for sale yet.

[section311]

@hottrout Its largely sold out globally. You got to wait for restocks. Maybe follow up within the discord of prototypist. Even taobao sold out atm.

I do see them only reselling slightly above costs on the second hand market (intl one not mm).

[CaesarAZealad]

Got my kit a bit ago. Weather hasn't been nice enough for pictures, and I don't have a board to mount it on (yet), but this is quality from PBTfans as always. I love how the box is actually displayable on a shelf, and the trays are these heavy duty thick plastic ****ers. Definitely worth every penny.

rip sold out everywhere, just is weird they spent all this time updating here but then went silent on sale start date and all that, seems weird?

if you signed up for notifications on KBD's website, you would have gotten an email notification when the sale launched. Most of the other vendors launched the same day from what I recall
