Inspiration
This set was inspired by my two pet Axolotls. Axolotls are a kind of salamander native to Mexico that having been showing up a lot lately in pop culture so I wanted to share my love of axolotls with the keyboard community.

Kits

Base

(https://i.imgur.com/Xh4izkZ.png)

All about that base, this kit will cover most tkl, 60/65%s, and features UK ISO, alice B and F13 [size]

Numbers

(https://i.imgur.com/jouEDS1.png)

The numbers Mason, what do they mean?

Larva (40's)

(https://i.imgur.com/YeLDXYx.png)

Pour one out for the homies who miss this set. This kit should cover most of the popular 40% keyboards out there.
I opted to use icon mods for enter, shift, tab, and backspace because I think those legends in text + mod form are ugly on smaller u keys.
PLEASE fill out the IC for if you dislike this decision or if you want the set but I don't cover your board!

Tails (Space bars) and Mini Bars

(https://i.imgur.com/6buIH7M.png)

The Tails kit features a space bar in each accent color in 7u and 6.25u as well as an alpha 6u. That makes 7 tails
The mini bars kit features alpha and accent bars in all your favorite miniature portions.
To be clear these are two different kits!

Morphs (Accents)

(https://i.imgur.com/Qjcknxw.png)

Different colored axolotls are called morphs. These accents will match the cute novelties you're going to buy.

Novelties
(https://i.imgur.com/gLoKKqQ.png)(https://i.imgur.com/MLlr85n.png)

Each novelty kit features a color based on some of my favorite axolotl morphs. Repetition of novs is by design. Different layouts will need the faces on different rows to accommodate all 4. E.G. a TKL can fit all 4 in an f cluster but a 65 could put them in a macro column. The leucistic kit also has Ñ.

Axolotls are probably illegal to own where you live but this kit isn't.

How would you like to see them changed? I tried to keep them stylized and simple/cutesy in a kit small enough that someone could buy multiple colored kits without breaking the bank.

Post by: hali on Mon, 26 April 2021, 21:08:25

cute, but to me it feels like there are too many colours
the grey doesn't really complement the pinks and it doesn't do well as a standalone accent either
also that minibars kit is huge jesus

Greatly enjoy the base colors. However, the novelties need work IMO - the illustrations don't seem up to par in quality with something I'd want to mount on a board, and I think the only colors that work well here are going to be the typical pink matching ones.

Dropping a color is easy enough if it does poorly in the IC, I have renders of the grey novelties on a board coming soon that I personally really like.

Also being epbt the mini bars kit should hopefully not be all that expensive (epbt aesthetic ran a similar kit with one less color for under $20). ePBT moq is very forgiving to child kits so if I’m not happy with IC responses or eventually quotes I can separate out colors or remove an unpopular one all together

i like how soft it is, but i kinda wish the legend color was closer to the color on axolotls weird face appendages.
also no þ key :'( my small island nation... she is crying...

otherwise i love this, glwic!!

I did try variations with more red than pink legends but the high contrast didn’t mesh well with the cute vibe I was going for. The green is also not particularly accurate to how green axolotls look but I sacrificed some realism to achieve the look I was going for.

Apart from that the set looks really nice

Nice! Love the inspiration about the Axolotl. Feels good to bring Mexican culture to the world. However, just want to point three things:

1. Novelties definitely could use a little more work. There's a lot to play around regarding the axolotl as a mythical creature.
2. Maybe you can go a little deeper on the inspiration part of the post rather than just "kinda like a salamander"?
3. Since this is based totally on a Mexican indigenous species, you could honour the culture by adding the Ñ. Believe me, people will thank you for that.

I personally don’t like long fluffy inspiration sections in ICs. I looked at my pet axolotls, I thought they were cute and wanted to make a cute keycap set. That’s pretty much it. I might flesh it out a little bit more since you said something though!

3. Since this is based totally on a Mexican indigenous species, you could honour the culture by adding the Ñ. Believe me, people will thank you for that.

a handful of people have asked for this so I would consider a Spanish kit if there was a demand for it , but until I see quotes I don’t want to plan on making the base kit any bigger. It would feel wrong to me to just add the Ñ and not actually have Spanish layout.

Most Spanish/mexican people use ANSI but still use the ñ

Well to be fair, nobody is asking for a Spanish kit. Just consider adding the Ñ on the base kit or even on the novelties just like Zambu did on Jamon set. I understand the inspiration behind your set, but this is an animal that we value an respect here in Mexico. If you're deciding on running this set, I think it would be wise to show some sort of reserch regarding the topic and the culture you're being inspired by. Shows commitment and respect to the whole community. The Axolotl is not just you're pet.

To you it may seem like it’s too many keys but removing any will make it so that some keyboards won’t be able to cover areas people commonly have novelties on (mainly XT and 65s with 2 key wide macro columns). I have specific use case in mind for EVERY single 1u novelty in the kit. And I understand some people simply don’t like some of the novelty colors so I would rather not mix. This is epbt so these novelty kits should be very cheap! My novelty kits are actually SMALL compared to ePBT ramenstop and ePBT aesthetic

GREAT set, sad you went with Kono :-[

Kono has a done a great job vending several ePBT sets, see ePBT Ramenstop and ePBT Soju. I’m happy with all my vendors. KBDfans also ships (mostly) worldwide

Mostly I wanna hear the issues that caused Kono’s ePBT Ivory to be months and months behind other vendors (I still don’t have mine) and the action plan of how that’s not gonna happen for this set. Either way I can go w kbdfans.

The location of your set seems like a question for kono customer support, I know some people have gotten theirs from kono last month. Overall it seemed like a issue getting the shipment from China -> USA but I don’t know any more about Ivory than what anyone else on the internet can dig up. I know I had a keyboard stuck in a the port in California for 2 months. That set also seemed to have desk mat manufacturing issues with several vendors that delayed any orders that also contained a desk mat based on posts in the designers discord. I know kono was not the only vendor who had delays. I can’t make any promises about shipping times.

As far as action plans go, the most I can do is tell you that US customers will be able to order from Kono, KBDfans, or Alphakeys.ca so if you’re willing to go for my set pick the one that’s best for you.

No worries, that’s something we can wait for Kono to explain. Im probably in the minority, but I haven’t had the impression that they dropped the ball but I think worth a writeup by them.

Of course, sorry it isn’t in base but we were already at a price breakpoint I didn’t want to go any higher than. I discussed it with my Mexico vendor and we felt the pink novelties was the next best place.

To save $1 (Or less)? I think if one was to hurt a number of users and only save ~1% on the total cost of the kit, it would be a pretty selfish move.
