ePBT is not a 1:1 GMK swap in. Your kitting needs work to be advantageous for ePBT. Please look at previously run sets, and feel free to drop into Keycap Designers and/or 40s discord for kitting help.

Yep I actually plan to seperate the numpad from the basekit(pretty sure it is the norm for epbt)
but other than that I am not planning to change anything else because too many kits will just make it confusing.
but if many people wanted the kits become more seperate please let me know in the IC form!

That's part of it but just scratching the surface. Numpad in base kit, dual base kit instead of alpha kits and a mod kit or base kit/alt alphas, no alpha colored 3u spacebars...

I'm not necessarily advocating for more kits, but for better kitting of the existing kits. Realistically you're shooting yourself in the foot here if you don't change anything but numpad, not taking advantage of the ePBT MOQ and pricing structure.

Please listen to dede.
In the current iteration you're not taking advantage of the advantages of ePBT, and shooting your MOQ in the foot with a second base kit.
Your novelties, 40s kit, base and alternate alphas all needs work. Take a peek in kcd or 40s' keyset-design channel, people will be happy to help you!

The only person who is confused with kitting is you.

The only thing keeping everything about this ic from being gmk is the topic title. This is incredibly lazy and an obvious heel turn to noticing gmk backlash thinking you'll get more people on board with epbt. Good luck.

I'm a blue fan so I like this, but I have concerns:

-Why are the keys floating in the kit renders?
-there isn't any accent iso available, even in novelties
-40s kit could use a LOT of work
-Spacebars kit doesn't have any normal alpha spacebars, which means you're either covered by the base or you're screwed
-You don't have any colors indicated, which makes me concerned that this is just hex code

I'd like to note that we've seen samples of ePBT's new reverse dyesub molds with the samurai sample images and they look really good. I'm sure some reverse dyesub sets will ship in the next few months and we'll get to see them ourselves, but the quality based on those sample images looks good.

This. Im going to be nitpicky, but if i am correct ePBT splits 2 basekits to a 100 MOQ each. It’s still an MOQ of 200, it’s just combined. Having Latin and Weeb base is absolutely fine (for reference, ePBT origami is a recent example).

Since this is EPBT, I suggest adding a second 2.25u Shift (physical compat for 660 layouts), as well as 2× 1.5u Code + second 1u Alt (Mac and OG HHKB bottom row compat) to the base kit.

I also suggest using System or Super instead of Code as the OS key legends.

R2 1.5u \|む, like the other pipe keys, should not have a ¥ sublegend in the top right.

Consider adding a R1 1u = key to the numpad kit.

Accent-colored spacekeys other than 6.25u, 7u and sometimes 2u, 2.25u, 2.75u aren't particularly popular. You should remove the following blue spaces from the spacebars kit: both 1u, both 3u, 6u.
In their place, add 1u, 1.25u and off-centered stem 6u in white, and you'll be good to go.
