Hey there, i've updated the translation reference in the main post with everything currently up to date.

The base kit has been adjusted to have only 1 1U Ctrl and 1 1U Code. R4 1U Delete has been removed.
I'm slowly getting back in shape in the project, i also talked with Kbdfans on when the production will run. With the current queue there is no hope before 2024; but i can assure you this set will run as i want it for really long time.

Regarding colors, i might change the green as it's the same i used in "Be The One" and it's good on that set but on the pantone it looks ok but on plastic that's too light to me. Once i've picked up once that would fit i'll definitely share it.

Damn, 2024... That's a bummer to hear. But, you know what fam, let's stick it out so we can all get our hands on this awesome set. I just recently got the perfect board for this one too, so I'm gonna have to wait it out with Domikey Dolch in the meantime.

Yep i know it's been long time since the last update but i have good news:

1 - Colors have been adjusted. See:





2 - mockups have been sent to ePbt to have prototypes

Curious on the straight-ness of the long keys  :rolleyes:

Last run we had no problem that i'm aware off. The warp meme for ePbt is over.

It’s going to be an awful wait, but worth it. Glad to know this isn’t dead. I’m gonna be a weirdo and ask if a R2 1.25u backspace can be added to the 40s kit for QAZ layouts. The mold exists since ePBT Less But Better has one.

Holy crap, it might actually be happening, guys!! This is great news, zekth, thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Any specific changes to the kitting or anything else from the original IC? Will you be updating the IC once more concrete details are finalized?

Nothing except some slight legends alignment etc.

I've kept the kitting as we modified along the IC. Just not everything has been replicated on the first post.

I wonder if a red board would go well with Wapuro. I mean, I could use neutral colors, but that sounds like cheating.

Have other manufacturers been considered for this set? It seems like PBTFans might be branching into doing dye-sub keycaps, it'll be interesting to see what their quality is like, with how full EPBT's production queue is.

Merry Xmas everyone and  here's my gift, pics of the prototypes. Looks great to me except one minor nit. Trying to address this with kbdfans.
As expected also the orange is not neon as GMK could be but it looks neat regardless.
