• DISCLAIMERS
1. These keycaps are semi-transparent; therefore, colors may be highly sensitive to lighting and the angle of view.
2. The inner layer for the actual set would potentially have visible holes. These holes are not defects but manufacturing constraints from the double shot injection molding process.

skipped pyga because of the hideous pbtfans text+icon mods, but this one with icons only is much more tempting. very interested
Same.
Windowed caps are also a great addition. Looking forward to the set.

People be hating on the text modifiers damn. SMH missing out on a good thing.
text or text+icon modifiers are completely fine, I personally prefer text+icon the most, but pbtfans' font/molds for text+icon are just bad. I just can't stand the uneven height of lowercase letters, worst offender is the Delete legend. they make the set look like some bad aifei clone priced at 90-100 bucks

Fair enough. I know the kerning on the shift keys gets to me, but I can deal with it since the quality of PBTfans has been surprisingly good in my experience.People be hating on the text modifiers damn. SMH missing out on a good thing.

Isn't this just VOC?
Yeah this is just VoC if you make it mono, make it translucent, change the legends, add glitter, and use different colors

MY BOY WITH ANOTHER BANGER
looking forward to this!Hot :thumb:
Bought!
Was hoping a purple semi-transparent set would come out. Very nice design :)
This looks classy af, love the speckled effect.
Very nice, loved Pyga and this looks as good if not better. Are the legends on the alt alphas semi-transparent as well? Any chance of a US vendor this time?
This is looking so nice, i cant wait to see these on my desk ❤
Gib
Love this, even compared to Pyga which is already a classic. A definite buy from me.
Instant buy
looking forward to this!
ok this is a banger
PBTfans keeps having downright the most interesting sets I've seen. First Pyga and now this. Best of luck with IC!
bling bling :thumb:
LOVE IT! Perfect match for my Arc60 in Arcane !!!
God Damn that looks neat :p
Absolutely stunning set! This would definitely be an instant purchase.
Thank you so much for the love. We appreciate you all ;D

LED LIGHT CAPS removed?
Why? I love it
I also love them, but if you look closely at the keycap's structure and imagine that the black part is transparent. There will definitely be leakages of light, which will not look very appealing. So, we decided to remove them from the set.

i.e.: A more saturated purple, tad closer to blue than red, coupled with a cooler white, instead of beige.
I think these changes would help separate it from Pyga a bit more too, IMO.
Something like this? (Apologies in advance for my limited photoshop skills) (https://imgur.com/a/Er4mg75)

I think it would be nice for us who want only the mods + white alphas to save up some $$$ ;)
And why did you remove the shine through caps lock key? it looks amazing!
Post by: NihonCK on Sun, 02 April 2023, 14:49:47
Hey would you consider selling an alternative base kit which comes with the white alphas set instead of the purple alphas?They posted an image and reason why it was removed on their March 5th post

Would opaque tape not fix this? If so it would be nice to have windowed caps and allow buyers to mod them if they are put off by the light bleed.

Obviously I meant buyers could mod them on their own if they were bothered by the light bleed lol.

The good news is that KBDFans has completed testing the new material for semi-transparent keycaps. They informed us that there might still be some very small marks around the legend from the manufacturing process, but fortunately there is no more cracking. That makes Pbtfans Vior almost ready for production, and we will start getting vendor orders in ASAP. Our best estimate is around 2–3 months until the quick preorder or in-stock drop. Stay tuned ;D

Hey, just a little update about the set. As you might already have noticed, renderings of the artisan keycap and deskmat have been uploaded. We decided to go with something different on the desk mat here, and we hope you like what you see!

Thats fantastic news! I fell in love with this set the moment I saw it, so seeing it potentially delivered in less than half a year is getting me HYPED!
P.S. That deskmat is FIIIIIIIIIREEEEEE!

I've confirmed with Kbdfans that the production will start mid June. The lead time is around 1-1.5 months, so we can realistically expect the set to be ready by mid July or early August 2023.

regional vendors can do preorders until their orders arrive from KBDfans (or you order direct if you can not wait)

Hello hello. The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here. We are excited to announce that the sales of Pbtfans Vior will be launched globally on July 14, 2023! It will be available for an in-stock purchase at Kbdfans and a quick pre-order elsewhere. Don't forget to support your local vendors.
When you say "quick pre-order" is this meaning limited time, or limited quantities, or both?
