Introduction:
Hello fellow members of geekhack, I've been lurking here for a little bit and finally felt like creating my first set of keycaps. Some of you
may or may not have already seen an early rendition of what I have made on reddit that was back maybe a couple of months ago, and I
finally thought that it was time to create an interest check for it. By the title of the post most of you will already know what it is however
I want to introduce to you all ePbt Dreamscape.
Inspiration:
Dreamscape was originally derived and inspired from the BTS album cover Love yourself ‘Answer’. The colors often remind of a setting
sunset or a rising moon, with colored gradients stretching over the sky and I thought that maybe something like this would look cool
to other people than just me.

Why not GMK?:
For a set like this with 7 custom colors I would imagine it to have an insane cost, as GMK handerbait costing what it did with only base colors
and would not be economically sound in my opinion; however, if all of you really want this set to be GMK I try my best and get a quote, albeit
that some novelties will need to be reworked and some other small things in order to do so. Lastly I wanted to make sure that poor people like
me can still afford this set :)
Postscript:
As this being my first project I am sure that there are things that I have missed, please let me know if you guys see anything off in the google forms
link provided here https://forms.gle/EzsVYYic2TA4cxp88, or if you want to speak to me directly you can message me on Instagram @tsoiab10.Also if
you wanted to see what the kit originally looked like this was the original post I had created that really spurred me to come this far
https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/he9gqh/how_do_you_guys_like_this_set_i_rendered_any/.
And lastly special thanks to my friend @kawaakaris on the art for banner, deskmats, novelties, and my friend Devin for help and suggestions ;)

Update 6.4: Ikki68 x Dreamscape collab. https://forms.gle/ahaShsRyatspAZ6V9
Update 6.3: Approximately a week ago the agency managing BTS (HYBE) has filed the term Borahae for trademark. Due to legal reasons, I will be changing the "borahae" key to "purple" in the novelties kit. I do not want to risk any potential legal action that may possibly happen. I apologize for any convenience this may cause
Update 6.2: More board renders.
Update 6.1: Uploaded more renders with different colored boards, please note that they are done under a different lighting which is why it may look a little different. Some collabs revealed.
Update 6:
GB date announced for the 15th of June, collabs will be revealed shortly in the coming days. Additionally I understand some people wanted the renders in different lightings as well: https://imgur.com/a/NOwc4aD . Also I've finally given the last deskmat a name, we'll just call it "Line" to keep it simple. :]
Update 5.0.0.0.1:
I've created a discord server since many of you guys seem to really want one. This will mainly be used to update folks on the IC phase of Dreamscape and GB stage once we hit that. https://discord.gg/CAaSZfEG7y
Update 5:
Just a small update to the renders that fixes some of the issues that have been stated like the numbers not lining up, as well as one missing key from the French ISO kit, they've both been changed and for the curious folk, yes the French ISO kit price will remain the same even with the additional key ( ) ]). Additionally we can already see that we are in early May, I have been given another update that the physical samples will be finished in June, hopefully this will be the case so that we can have the group buy be set in that same month, but again, no promises. Lastly the brightness on the renders have been very slightly toned down as I've seen from some people that they were a little bright.
Update 4.6:
Small update, kits got quoted in USD, the specific price per each region will be reavealed later on due to the constant fluctuation in exchange rates. Additionally group buy dates are currently in the talks approx late April or early May, no promises though.
Update 4.5
R4 Pipe/Backslash key in NORDEUK kit has been changed to pink from white.
Update 4.4
Zionstudios and Prototypist have joined the party.
Update 4.3
Deskmats and keycaps are undergoing prototyping, additionally the kits are being quoted and will have a price soon. Lastly once we can figure out the price per region for each kit and the prototypes for the keycaps turn out good we should have a possible group buy date soon. Also I hope my constant updates on geekhack aren't annoying anyone, I'm trying to do my best to strike a balance between moderation and consistant updates but for this being my first project I can't really tell, anyways thanks for stopping by the IC. :]
Update 4.2
I've removed the 1U pink CTRL in the base kit and moved the 1U Purple alt to the 40's kit. I've also labeled the keys in the picture for the base and 40's kit.
Update 4.1:
I've added one extra 1.75U space bar, got rid of a 1.5U Tab, and lastly changed the 1.5U backspace into a 1.75U in the 40's kit as there is already one in the base kit. Also for those of you who want the specific size/rowing of the caps you can see the labeled kits here: https://imgur.com/a/SvKsnAm. I do want to make it clear to some of you 40/ortho users, that you can fill out a board with the Hangul sublegends and a 40s kit, which should be cheaper than a base kit but please check the labeled kits to double check.
Update 4:
I've added 5 extra keys to the base kit: Gray arrows and a white F9 button depending on wheather or not you have an exploded function row vs a compact. Additionally I've added 5 extra keys and a number row to the hangul sublegends kit; I've had a lot of people talking about buying two sets, with the extra keys you should be able to have enough for two boards and would ultimately be cheaper than buying 2 kits even though the base and Hangul kits may cost slightly more now. Lastly I've added: Peach row 3 FN, Purple 1u Super, Purple 1U FN, Purple 1U Ctrl, Blue 1.25U Lower, White 1.25U Raise, Blue 1U Super, and lastly changed one of the 1U space bars to the light blue (7 extra keys), this should provide much better support for ortholinear/40% boards. Hopefully this will be the last big change to the kits and I can begin getting the kits priced by the end of Feburary. I look forword to the feedback to the changes on the kits as this should basically be the last of the change unless I've missed something or the price on the kits are to expensive.
I know some of these kits aren't very traditional and if a lot of you don't like them I can always change them back, but let me know what you guys think. :]
Update 3.4:
I've added an unnamed deskmat, im not to sure how many poeple will like it but I'll leave it up for now, depending on the response it may or may not get taken off. The design is heavily inspired by the linework/design of the cover of the Love yourself album cover (see it here: https://imgur.com/XiOo7rQ). My main concern so far is that it may be to heavily inspired by it and its a little bland in the center, please comment or inform me through the IC form and let me know what you think.
Update 3.3:
Left ISO shift has been changed from 700C to 2337C.
Update 3.2:
I've added a French ISO kit for now, hopefully some of you guys like it. :]
Update 3.1:
I've ultimately decided to remove the colored arrows on the number pad as well as adding one additional Hangul suglegend B to the spacebars kit. More changes are still to come, however currently looking into FR-ISO.
Update 3:
Sorry for the long wait everyone, I've made a couple of additions to the numpad kit, one addition to the novelties, and added a Spacebars, and NORDEUK kit; I may have miscolored something in the kits so please let me know if I did. Additionally all vendors I am working with have been announced. I will leave these kits up for maybe a week or two before finalizing them, and from there I will get the kits quoted so we can get them priced. :]
Update 2:
Once again changed the base kit a little bit, changed 1.75 delete into 1.75 backspace, added 2U control key and changed stepped control to stepped caps.
Created 40's/ortho kit, many thanks to the 40% keyboard discord, mainly Dr.Higsby and Konstantin, big shout out to them for the help :thumb:
Update 1:
Hey everyone sorry for the slow update (took me like a month :( ), but it took me a long time to intake all the feedback, obviously there are probably some still some issues, through the feedback I've made a couple of changes: hangul sublegends kit, seperating base kit and numpad, changed the telescope novelty, and added a few keys to the base kit. I don't plan on speeding through this process and so it might be a while before I set any specific dates down hopefully you all understand. Lastly if you guys could edit you response for the form that would be much appreciated as I have changed a couple of things, and thank you for visiting the page! :)

This looks beautiful. To be honest, I much prefer ePBT (PBT, not ABS) to GMK - for me, the quality is better, I love the smooth LASTING texture and sharp legends (that can be custom for cheap!). Typing this on ePBT Extended 2048 that I absolutely love.
I haven't seen a reverse dye-sublimated set from ePBT in person yet though.
I would be all over this as I really like gradient sets and the colours of this one are so smooth. But it looks like there won't be an Ortho/40s kit which is sadly most probably a deal-breaker for me...
