These look beautiful! What keycap profile would they come as? I would like to put them on a Dactyl.

Currently scheduled for a mid-October group buy run with Infinikey (TheKey.Company) as the main vendor.

As far as I know, Infinikey only makes Cherry profile.

I like the dark alphas better but I will still buy the base kit if it won't change. Really love the rich red colors.

Uuuuh... why is the arrow icon in the 1.25U Shift key upside down?

I think that's a R4 1.25u Caps Lock key (for people who swap Control and Caps).

The ansi tilde/back quote key has alpha and mod colour option, the uk iso replacement does not.
Nice looking set though :)

Love the direction this is going -- Submitted interest check form

Just suggestions regarding mod color change (if taking any)

and the novelties ... the decanter looks a bit like a chemistry beaker (ppl do use them as decanters irl though!)
If you wanted a more traditional decanter, could go for something more of a pointy edge at the top, and curvier at the bottom :)

Also -- if we could get some wine bottles for R1, thatd be great!

and love that barrel with the spout -- just like in a cellar :)!



lastly a suggestion for a novelty, had to get cheese somewhere in there!:

More


edit: also forgot to mention how excited i am for the RAMA keycap! going with a bottle hopefully!!? :)

Re: [IC] PBT Cabernet v1.3 (Full ISO Support, Finalized Kits)

v1.3

- Kits are mostly finalized. Novelty kit has been deprecated due to low interest and a few select novelties have been added to the base kit.

- Full US and UK ISO is now supported for both light and dark alphas, adaptive kit has been modified to reflect this as well.

- Dark Alphas currently makes up about 30% of the interest in the set, which sadly is not enough to warrant the double TKL base kit setup, but is enough to have Dark Alphas remain viable as a separate kit.

- We've decided not to run a RAMA cap with this set but we are open to other artisan caps. If you are an artisan capmaker, feel free to reach out to us if you would like to collaborate.

- Pricing will come in the next couple updates, currently expecting around ~$90 for the base kit, which is in line with most Infinikey sets. Plus you get some nice novelties as a bonus.

- Working on more renders and deskmats now.

Thanks for your continued interest!

The new numpad makes me go 3, 2, 1...  ;D ;D ;D

(also, remember the difference between the | and ¦ symbols — pick one or the other for the \| keys, but don't mix them in a kit)

v1.4

The set is now mostly finalized. Samples are being produced and pricing will be determined soon, as we approach the group buy date of October 23.

Things to do:
- Pricing
- Make sure sample colors are accurate
- More deskmat variations

Please enjoy some more renders of PBT Cabernet in the meantime (more to come as well).

Please, no infinikey, please. I love the set by the way, but please, do not let Infinikey ruin this set. Have you heard of the real quality of the Græn keycap set? That was not very good. I've heard that some caps of the set was not involved, and the dyesub was terrible. So please, don't infinikey.

thanks everyone for supporting this far! With the GB in a little over a month there’s not much to do but wait and make sure that the samples are of satisfaction. I have one more deskmat in the works, but in the meantime please continue to show interest during this last stretch!

The deskmat designs are so spot-on.
Wish the third one’s wine bottle was wine purple instead of green- suits the theme better, too.
Regardless hopping on the desk mats for sure.
(Love the dark alphas but the regular mods don’t go too well with it ;’(
Very nice work overall!

This would look amazing on the skog-reboot keyboard with the wine color by percent studio since they both exhibit more of a refined design language, hopefully once they finalize the group buy for the international market that is one of the colors offered. I would definitely pick the base kit up if that happens.

Are the new kits render a more accurate representation of the intended/actual colours? And how long will manufacturing take/ when is the estimated shipping time? Loving the red but unsure of the renders. Thanks!

I probably won't run this set for a while (due to NDA and also other projects) but that's a good idea if I ever do!

So TKC did the renders for the new kits, all the previous ones are mine. The physical swatch I sent for the accent color was meant to resemble my renders, but since it is a pastel purple-pink kind of color YMMV depending on lighting and whatnot. We have yet to receive samples but I am trying to make sure they look as close to my renders as possible.



Estimated shipping is June-July 2021, I believe.

The red should look similar to my renders because the actual keys will be matte and not as glossy as in the kit render photos. Sorry, I'm not really sure what you mean by shipping time. Do you mean how long it'll take to get to you after they get sent out?

Last update from me!

- TKC has informed me that Dark Alphas are more expensive that anticipated due to reverse dye sub and are now $45. Sorry about that!

- We are live! Base Kit, Adaptive, Dark Alphas, and all 4 deskmats are available now until Nov 06!

Thanks for sticking around to support the set if you've been here, and welcome if you're just seeing this!

See you around!
