Oh we know it doesn't exist but you have to have the legend somewhere. You did it right on 2048, just have r4 with a tab. I'm OK with that if we can't finance the mold

edit:that is row1 (bottom row) or maybe even r3 if they can make it (q row) I'm not sure what profile would fit best but a 40s kit without _any_ 1.25u tab is not going to work

That'd certainly work but if you're going to offer a 40s kit with accurate legends then just have the right legend available. Also some 40s require use of the 1.25u bottom row keys so it doesn't necessarily work for all cases.

should have just kept it as ortho kit. epbt doesn't really support 40s and having wrong row keys is pretty lame.

I really don't mind having legend accurate but row incorrect when the kit is $15. the same kit in GMK would be $40 or more. Its just a trade off one has to accept to have the price point we have. I am curious what the actual cost to fund the mold would be. I do know this is a source of consternation for a lot of would-be 40s buyers.

Yo any chance the 1.5 tab can be swapped out to a r4 1.25 tab instead for 40s kit? Rather have the proper legend then a weird kinda eh kit. Besides that I see that it's meant to be a much smaller kit so I won't ask for much more. But yeah r4 as tab is not that bad if the rest of the profiling is correct.

Edit: forget epbt bottom row is r1 so that instead

GMK uses Abs and ePBT normally uses PBT. 2 different manufacturers.

GMK is based in Germany and ePBT in China.

Lol, I thought this was just an elaborate April Fool's joke... I am glad it is not, it's brilliant :D

With the Smileys and Rubbers kit this gets incredibly versatile - for instance I can use the smileys instead of the ISO keys that are missing...  :p

Any chance for a 6.5 unit Pencil? I know that's a long shot.

Cool

edit: interested in Base + Smileys + Backpack + Rubber ( + Pencil if 6.5 avail)

If there was anyone to convince ePBT to make new molds for 40% Keys it’s you Biip.

All that 40’s Kit needs is a R2 1.75u Enter and a 1.25u Tab.



Either way I’m in all the way on this lol

I'm not sure the mold actually exists.
Please add 1.25u tab and enter, I need it.
And do you consider to make kits for more funny icons like shift icon with zigzag or curved line(s), or bold line.
Thanks for giving interesting key caps.  :p

And do you consider to make kits for more funny icons like shift icon with zigzag or curved line(s), or bold line.
Thanks for giving interesting key caps.  :p

EPBT just confirmed to me that 1.25u R2 mold doesn't exist.

It looked unbalanced to me.

Je fais confiance à ta vision, si tu trouves que tel est le cas.

Ideally I prefer text mods or fun stuff like your Milkshake mods, but I'll most prolly join this one. As usual — love the creativity put forth in your sets.

What if you kitted “2048 style” and gave the alphas there own Kit, then had a “standard mods” kit and a “Cool Kids Kit” in the same wacky alpha style.

I like the standard mod balance as is but I know people have been asking for the uniformity.

Not sure how it would play out with the numbers you are seeing but just throwing out ideas. :)

Honestly I thought this was a joke / a little stupid when I first saw it, but it's growing on me. I didn't have a board planned at the time that I thought it would work on, but now with Think v2.0 in IC, I'll definitely consider this to go with a polycarbonate Think v2.0 if polycarbonate ends up being a material option for that board.

I personally like that not all the legends are askew. I agree that there is a fine line between looking fun and quirky and looking sloppy. I think the normal function/modifiers/numbers help keep the set anchored and make the alphas / numpad numbers stand out more.

Can you confirm the small spacebars in the rubbers kit are convex like simpleja? Also what is the tone like on the white? Similar to epbt bow, kuro shiro, 2048 or different from all of them?

I would say the logo you have for the IC is pretty close to being a deskmat design right there.
Maybe throw a handful of randomly scattered letters in a smaller font onto it as well for a background effect and then call it a day.
