[GB] EnjoyPBT Slate

[hineybush]

Received my package today but the 2 accent kits I ordered were missing! I hope there are still extras left to fulfill my order.

Please PM me your order number, I must've mixed something up when packing.

Got my base kit In and think it looks really good on my Pok3r but my B keycap looks to be off shape a bit. Anyone else notice this issue or is this normal?

yeahhhh that's definitely the wrong profile. I'll look into this

Lol thank you sir.

Hmm, on other customers' sets it's fine:

I can send you a replacement B key if you'd like. I'll wait to get more info from other buyers to see if it's a widespread problem or just a one-time thing.

I noticed that others B looked fine too. I’ll take the replacement if you don’t mind sending one out to me.

Please PM me your original order number and address and I can get it out to you ASAP.

I sent a PM about a few missing keys. Let me know if you need any further info.

[hineybush]

looks like there are no 6.5u spacebars at all.. I didn't even realize when I was packing. I'm working on talking to KBDFans about this.

[macclack]

Got a couple of kits shipped in today. I haven't had a chance to go through all the keys to make sure everything is there, but the quality looks really good. Thanks again for making this happen Hineybush 

[Rumblehotep]

Been using this for a few hours and it looks great!  But I just checked and can see both my B and N keys are row 3 profile instead of row 4.
Anyone have this?

Whoops, forgot pics

Maaaan wtf.. another dude has his B key the incorrect profile too. This seems to be a really isolated issue where (I'm assuming) they put the wrong profile key down before they dyesub. I can send you a new N key, but I'm not sure if I have another B key on hand atm. I'll mention this to KBDFans also and see what I can do about a replacement.

[Rumblehotep]

Thanks man, lemme know

[rondg]

Hope there are enough extras even with for us who ordered post-GB

Never heard of such thing on ePBT 9009 und Grayscale.
This has been perfect, but it is a surprise how the manufacturer messed with a foreign GB with these mistakes. Hope Gok’s GB is fine - even he is not native to these countries.

[dantambok]

Still no shipping notif from kbdfans

Nope, it's spray painted and clear coated just for this keyset lol. I even made matching switches

[euphxenos]

I just went through my base kit to check it against the kit renders, and I have found some problems.  Where I should have an R1 PgDn, I have an R2 PgDn.  I have an extra R1 End.  I am missing R2 PgUp.  I have an extra R1 Fn (there should be one of those, I have two of them).

On 2/20/19 in the group buy thread, IneffableTao asked about adding keys for Home, PgUp, PgDn, End.  You said you'd add them, but this was after the group buy ended and you didn't say anything about dropping any keys from the existing kit to do this.  Did you drop the R2 PgUp and R1 PgDn?  The renders currently on your site (and that were there when I placed my order, though I'm guessing you're going to change them, since you've already updated them to drop the 6.5U spacebar) still show an enter-row (R2) PgUp and shift-row (R1) PgDn.

Is it going to be possible to get the missing R2 PgUp and R1 PgDn?

I can guarantee it's the right kit including those keys because 1. I have an R2 PgDn in front of me here and 2. on 11/20/2018 Wei (KBDFans) confirmed to me the final kits which included those keys. I didn't drop the 6.5u spacebar, it was supposed to be included as well, sending that kit to him on 12/26/2018. I'm still trying to get a reply regarding the replacements, I feel like they're pretty busy due to non-Slate related stuff but I'll let you guys know once I know things.

[portbaron]

I don't see an R2 PgUp on any of the keycharts for what comes in the kit, it's an R2 PgDn. Also they don't show an R1 PgDn. So I wouldn't expect it to be there.

[geekit]

Oh dear. Mine was sent yesterday from KBDfans, still on the way. I hope it comes to me without problem. I live in SEA btw.

Anyway nice pics guys, keep em coming!

Edit - Wait, I'm confusing myself because epbt numbers it differently. I don't see it on this keychart

No, I know that's what WE call R1. But Epbt calls it R4. I obviously know there's an R1 PgDn because I posted my 1800 board on this page with it there. So is he referring to the normal row numbering or the ones on the Keymaps for the kit by epbt?

My pictures are of an R2 (cherry prof) PgUp...

[portbaron]

So is he referring to the normal row numbering or the one epbt made? They call R1 R4 for some reason.

I assume Normal/Cherry as its more widely known

Oh, well then yeah. I have all those in my kit. They should be there.

For reference going forward:

Red handwritten is Cherry, Black text is EPBT for the profile numbering. I've used Cherry profile numbering unless otherwise noted in my other replies.

[portbaron]

Lol I made it complicated.

Anyway, one of my favorite sets I have once I got it on that board. Looks really sharp.

[Tonkatonk]

Received my set, it looks absolutely stunning and all my keys are perfect.

I'm referring to the kit picture on Hiney's web site, and using the row numbering used in that picture.  The picture can currently be found here:

and I'm including a copy as an attachement to this post.  It shows an R2 PgUp and an R1 PgDn (in ePBT's weird numbering -- what we'd call R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn if this were a GMK/Cherry set.  Take a look at the key between the grey 1.75U Control and the red stepped 1.75U control -- there's the R2 PgUp (GMK/Cherry R3).  Take a look at the row below between the 1U Alt and 1U Fn -- there's the R1 PgDn (GMK/Cherry R4).  They were in there from the beginning of the IC, they were in the kit render on Hiney's site when I placed my order, and they're still shown in the kit Render on Hiney's site.  I hadn't looked at the render on KBDfans' site before now (I didn't order from them), but these keys are *not* included in the render shown on KBDfans site.

Yep I see those now. The kit in the Imgur album in the OP of this thread is the correct final base kit, and it was posted on Dec. 26 of 2018. I can confirm the keys you're concerned about were removed (and the kit was updated to the one I posted in the Imgur album).  They were swapped out for an EPBT R2/Cherry R3 Pg Dn and EPBT R1/Cherry R4 End key. The kits on my site are pre-final, and were not the ones sent as the final kits. It's my fault for not updating the kit pictures on my site after adjusting the kit. The correct kit (same as KBDFans') is included in the Imgur album in the OP of this page as well, so it seems the discrepancy is solely on my site. I apologize for this, I assume I uploaded the wrong one to Squarespace/Shopify when I set the products up. I just updated it on the site (a bit late obviously) for proper reference, thanks for uploading the incorrect one in your reply (presumably to call me out on BS if I tried to deny it was wrong/swapped it without saying anything).

Well, that's disappointing.  I'll email you about returning these kits for a refund.  It sounds like you need another "B" key anyway.

Any idea when mykeyboard.eu sets will ship?

They're waiting to hear about the 6.5u spacebar stuff, and in turn I'm waiting to hear from KBDFans regarding it. IF you'd like your order to ship without the 6.5u spacebars, you can contact them to see if they can ship it sooner.

[rockydbull]

Here is the accent kit with tada68 keycaps (also the same colors as epbt 9009, epbt black on beige and the 2048)

[dantambok]

Mine finally shipped from kbdfans!

[Bhk1004]

Went through my set and put it temporarily on keyboard lying around, everything looks great!

Thanks Hiney!

[pixelpusher]

i got my set today.  Sorry to report that it's the same issues I've had in the past with ePBT.  Space bars are flat but unfortunately they are about 1mm out of spec in length, making them close to unusable.  Even with lubed zeal stabilizers they scratch and are sluggish on the way up.  Darn shame, b/c I like the colorway.  I'm glad I decided not to join the Extended group buy.  Also, I never noticed before, but they sit about 1mm higher on switches than GMK.  Not a big deal on some cases but on my Jane you they stand above the case edge and don't look as nice. 

I might try to use them on my one board that has costar stabilizers, but I now own 3 ePBT sets with the same issues and only 1 board with costar mounts.

I have the same issue with the gray 7u spacebar, unfortunately. It's like there's too much friction. Oddly enough the cyan spacebar is fine.

[HPE1000]

Will throw in that my 7u spacebar is kind of sluggish as well as some of the modifiers. I am going to attempt to tweak them at a later date. Kind of a shame that epbt still has these issues and is making me worried about the Kuro Shiro set that I have coming soon.

you can see it from the edge if you use a board outside of the case.  The mounts for the stabilizers on the space bar are too close to each other inwards(I assume as a result of shrinking). They pull the stabilizer inserts inward, against the stabilizer housing.  On my 6.25u, if you don't press it all the way in it works but with friction.  However, once you press both edges all the way in, the space bar won't return.  I have this exact same issue on ePBT forgiveness and an English purple.  Both were purchased from KBDFans, roughly 1.5 years apart.

[pixelpusher]

What we really need here is someone to make a better stabilizer design

[dallman5]

Not sure if its the same issue that you all are reporting with your 7u spacebars, but mine seems to be quite rattly and I can't quite figure out why.  It doesn't seem to have any issues returning, however, like others have mentioned, it's just really noisy. For the record, I've used GMK, CRP, and OG Cherry 7u spacebars on the same board without issue, so this is unique to EPBT as far as I can tell.

Edit: I've already lubed the stabs themselves with 205g0, and there is no rattle with the aforementioned GMK, CRP, and Cherry spacebars.

Edit2: Checked again and the teal spacebar is just fine but the grey doesn't return completely (turns out I was incorrect before) and also rattles if pressed near the center of the spacebar. This is while using 55g linears.

[pixelpusher]

Lube will help if you haven't used any yet on the stabilizer insert (between the insert and the stabilizer housing wall)
