Great looking set. I love the addition of the Italian/Spanish/Portuguese kit. I just miss the R3 `^[ for perfect ISO-ES compatibility. Also R2 ´¨ with tertiary legends would be ´¨{ in ISO-ES.

Hi, thanks! Both of these keys are covered in the IT/ES/PT set, but you could be forgiven for not spotting them immediately. In both cases these are ‘dead keys’ (so they are followed up with a compatible character to apply a diacritical mark to), and I have chosen to indicate these with a dotted circle below the corresponding diacritical. You can find the specific keys you mentioned at R3, 3rd from right, and R2, 4th from right.

I saw the legend treatment that you applied to dead keys and found it very interesting, would be a first for legends and would make this set a very special one.

The dotted circles threw me off. Great to know. Must buy!

Can't believe I hadn't seen this until now. What a great idea and set! Definitely in for a whole bunch of kits and deskmat, and really looking forward to hearing about future collaborations

Hoping that 1.25u spacebars can be included... (for those who do split spacebar)
PS Two 2.5u/3u spacebars would also be awesome!

Yes, I know they're in the set. It's the reason I'm requesting a 1.25u sb, which is sandwiched in the middle in my case and harder to come by...
Also requesting the 2.5us (yes, I know now that it isn't a thing) and 3us cuz I know they could be a source of derangement for some of us.

Thanks for pointing that out — that is indeed a fencepost error on the row numbers! I’ll be sure to correct the diagrams.

I had hoped to run the group buy this year, and had started getting other things in place to support that, but at this point I’m not optimistic. I want to get product samples before I run the group buy and I’m still waiting on those. I’m told I should get them within a couple of weeks, but other group buys from ePBT that finished months ago still don’t have samples, so I’ll not hold my breath.

Since there are question marks over colour matching I want to be sure of what the finished product will look like before I commit to a GB; I’d hate for there to be either a protracted waiting period for colour matching (like Dracula) or a massive mismatch between expectations and reality (as with some other reverse dyesub sets).

You never know though; if everything comes together and samples happen quickly it might be possible before the end of the year, but I’d say I’m targeting Q1 2022 at this point.

I concur: A good product later is far better than a bad one soon. Please keep us posted, considering the thread visits this set has a good demand; therefore, there should be many like me, that are waiting for a GB date.

Been thinking about this a ton since I discovered it a while ago and decided I'm really into this. In for neutral alphas & mods, likely modern, possibly nomad.

Apple's insistence to still (even on the 2021 MacBooks, bah) use a non-standard layout in the UK drives me nuts but after so many years of use it's starting to feel a little more natural to me than the "correct" UK-ISO. The idea of having a custom board match my various Macs is really resonating with me. I'm not even a big Adobe user, I just love this project for that reason.

I hope you're able to secure a UK vendor.

Funnily enough I’m in exactly the same boat, which often means I’m missing the exact keys I need for non-uniform profiles. Fixing this in my own set was an important criteria for me, as is having a UK vendor!

I'm waiting on production samples from EnjoyPBT. I'm guessing they may not surface before CNY puts everything on hold for a while, though.

I appreciate yours (and everyone else’s!) patience. I’m still waiting for news on samples — EnjoyPBT have managed to produce samples for a number of other reverse dyesub sets that are in the works, but unfortunately since the queue is largely dictated by which sets already went to group buy, this set is penalised relative to sets which ran their group buy without samples in-hand. It’s very important to me that the set his a high quality bar for the colours though, so I’m not willing to run a group buy before I sign off on samples. Hopefully this means time period from group buy to shipment is shorter though!

kapowaz · « **Reply #224 on:** Wed, 16 February 2022, 05:11:15 »

I’ve not been checking Geekhack a lot lately, which means I may not see questions or feedback about this set in a timely fashion. I have however recently relaunched my website where I’ll be posting previews of this and other future concepts.

In addition to my website, I’ve also created a new Discord server. This will be the best place to hang out to get timely updates on this interest check and (assuming it gets there!) the group buy.

Really nice kit. I'm interested by the french kit (base + PS modifiers + french) but I can't find it in the interest forms

kapowaz · « **Reply #226 on:** Sat, 19 February 2022, 07:50:02 »

Yes, apologies; I didn’t update the IC form based on the updated kitting, but thankfully the nature of epbt means that there’s no MOQ on child kits provided the main kit hits MOQ itself. So I’m pretty confident all the international kits will be made.

sefixmm · « **Reply #227 on:** Sat, 26 March 2022, 08:15:42 »

No; PBTFans is doubleshot, so it’s not a suitable candidate to manufacture this set.

kiwoli · « **Reply #237 on:** Tue, 31 May 2022, 19:00:28 »

Will you be asking for more samples, especially for the alphas? They look more bluish-grey than neutral grey (they should match to 425C? basing all this on one photo, please excuse if they do look correct in-person) Available mods and accents look well matched.

Personally would hesitate about epbt GBs at the moment, hopefully it's all sorted out by the time this is ready for a GB.

*Look forward to an inDesign add-on kit in the future

You’re not wrong that it does look slightly blueish, both in the photo and in person, when compared with the Pantone colour chosen; I would say however that in person the colour cast is incredibly subtle, and most people probably wouldn’t notice. I have requested another round of samples nonetheless since the sub legends aren’t the correct shade of grey either.

I just wanted to quickly touch on this topic; EnjoyPBT has started to work through the backlog of sets and I’m much more confident in their ability to ship now that they’ve worked through the issues with their mould, and so I’m confident in a decent turnaround time for a GB once it’s run (certainly faster than some other manufacturers).

I had hoped to have been running the GB right now actually, but it was a little optimistic from a production capacity POV with EnjoyPBT. I don't want to suggest any firm dates, but right now it's looking like the tail end of the year. I'm hoping that doesn't mean 2023 though, and I'll be pushing for a date this year!
