I think it looks magnific and even though I see the overlap with BoW, I would buy this in a heartbeat. Great work as usual!
Yup, I've tried changing a few things to reduce the amount of overlap:
Can we change the 1.5u backspace to use the same arrow as the 2u backspace?I'll be keeping the box backspace in the base kit as is but the Japanese kit currently has a different design of small icon + kanji.
not sure if it's just me but the picture links don't work.I've just switched the link to a different host. Does it work now?
i'd pick up a set, haven't picked up one of the sets already out since i'm not really into beige on my current keyboard.
Why not take advantage that it's dyesub and make sublegends a different color, like red.Hi. I chose black sublegends because I wanted something more simple and clean than this:
Or the sublegends in gray?I'll give it a go but I'm still inclined towards just black
I'd definitely be interested in a Japanese mod kit. One thing I like about the alphas with sublegends is the greater amount of legend color that's on the caps, but in contrast the normal mods seem a bit empty and plain.I am generally a fan of icon mods but I think the shift keys look a bit empty and I'm not afraid to mix it up a little.
would only buy an alpha only addonI won't be splitting the alphas out, sorry. They wouldn't work with Epbt BoW because it will use a different white, if that was what you were thinking of doing.
At the risk of sounding like one of those people who thinks they know everything about Japan because they watched Karate Kid in the 80's: they say shiro kuro, not kuro shiro.You are right but I was trying to follow the pattern of Black on White. Shiro Kuro would seem more like White on Black to me.
Will this set be capable of populating a JIS layout keyboard, like for example the ones by Filco?I'll need to check. With the sheer number of keys, I'm guessing you would since it also includes fringe keys like 3u spacebars but I really need check.

Black and white is good, cleaner then black white and grey.I can get all the design done by the end of the month but what will delay starting the GB would be getting the samples in.
Is there a timeframe for the GB?
Have a rough estimate on price? With that kind of compatibility, I'm most likely in.Hard to say since the biggest unknown is sourcing the reversed dyesub accent keys.

Would be in with the inclusion of an international kit
I would like some slightly warm white, but not on the yellowish or beige sideMy aim is to match the ED coated cases but without seeing those, my gut feel would be some similar to GMK WS1.
What do you have in mind regarding the white color?

Oh my b, I think they're shop links.
They still don't work for me but I was able to find them on kbdfans.
I think it's the %27 in front of the links that's killin it.Or the sublegends in gray?
I think light gray might look kinda nice actually.
Why are the row numbers inverted on the kit image ? is this an epbt thing ?Yup. It is an epbt thing. I'm going to try grey sublegends but I prefer black and which is also part of the theme for the set.
Love the set, would love an accent kit - black or red or grey , and sub legends in a more subtle color like grey to make it look a bit less busy.

Would love if the Japanese legend modifiers had icons as well, to help non-japanese speakers ?I don't think adding icons to everything would look right. I could add side printed English onto some keys but it can start looking messy very quickly.

This is currently how the main sets are looking in terms of scope:Amazing progress
Essentials kit (https://i.imgur.com/IP3E4PO.JPG)
Standard mod kit (https://i.imgur.com/6bQzWws.jpg)
Japanese mod kit (https://i.imgur.com/vWjKeFo.jpg)
To cover what you you'd expect from a epbt set with good compatibility, you would need to get the Essentials kit + one of the mod kits. These still need to be finalised but the overall scope is there.
This would also mean that it would be slightly cheaper to full a 40% ortho board.
I've been told by Wei that molds(not sure if this is the right term but may have been lost in translation) are being made by epbt to facilitate reverse dyesubbing. Because of this and to keep the costs down, the ortho kit won't have any accents apart from the spacebar which can be done using a full dye process.
I will be working on the ISO and ortho kit next to finalise the scope and then get back to tweaking the base and Japanese modifiers kits.

Am I the only one that can't see the essentials kit?Sorry, I posted on mobile and accidentally capitalised the url. Should be fixed now.
Is it possible to get 40% compatibility? Or does epbt not have the mould for r3 1.25u?If you read up a bit, I have outlined what my upcoming plans are for the set.

Oh I see what you mean. I'm not sure about minivan support. Would need to see if epbt have those molds but it seems to be even more niche than the planck.Might have missed something but I believe you only mentioned ortho and ISO compatibility?

So happy with the progress of this. I am 110% in!I was thinking about that. A lot of people were interested in the Japanese sub legends but I didn't wan't to have a 3rd mod kit.
I am in two minds about the Jap mods vs standard. There are things I like about both kits.
Maybe more icon mods with Jap sub legends?
Added a new google form to the original post regarding the International ISO kit.

If the main and sub legends can be dyesubbed thinner and sharper, I don't mind they are all black especially with jp mods, this should be a classic. The quality of dyesubbing is my only concern.I'll be looking at this closely. For BoW, I was never sent a dyesubbed sample but I'll be asking for one this time. Hopefully the issues of blurriness isn't inherent on all light coloured caps.

Will definitely buy this set if only to show my support for EnjoyPBT and dye-sub PBT keycaps in general.
To be honest, I would much prefer this having gray modifiers, aka a crispier and better-designed version of this set from KPRepublic (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/kprepublic-139-Japanese-root-Japan-black-font-language-Cherry-profile-Dye-Sub-Keycap-PBT-for-gh60/32900219444.html), which fit my desire for a non-beige dye-sub PBT with Japanese sublegends but also made me wish for better printing, thicker material, and tighter QC.
That newly-added Japanese mod kit though :eek: Just wow. Definitely interested. Please launch soon.Show Image(https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1DTfJE1OSBuNjy0Fdq6zDnVXad.jpg)
I wish black esc and enter key can be included in the essential kit. Since for those who has bow already, an essential kit would be enough.

Because the results from the Google survey were heavily lopsided, I decided to close the form and just finish the first mock up for the kit.
I have added it to the original post and you can also find it here (https://i.imgur.com/TlLJNwZ.jpg).
Next up, I'll be looking at the Standard and Japanese modifiers kit again to make sure that I'm happy with the legend placement and size. I am also going to look what I can do with regards to sublegends on the Standard mods.

Have you looked at this?
https://kbdfans.cn/collections/cherry-profile/products/pre-orderenjoypbt-black-japanese-dye-sub-keycaps
At the moment, I'm looking at an equivalent to GMK WS1 white.
The main aims are for it to be a solid opaque colour that can block backlighting which would also allow the dyesubbing to look sharper but also maintaining a bright and clean look.
I will probably confirm the design by the end of next week so that we can order a prototype. Once a prototype is in my hands and I feel that there aren't any major issues, we can start the preorders on the KBDfans website.

Might have been mentioned already, but does R2 fix the spacebar warping?
Is this the only key that Dvorak is missing? I'll talk to KBDfans about this but you may have to wait for R2 to be made for this key.
Yes, it's the only key that the Colevrak kit is missing. I'll certainly wait until R2 if the key wasn't produced.
Ooohh, WS1 is a nice choice. That's super white.It wasn't a Pantone. Instead, we used an OEM profile keycap as a reference for Enjoypbt to match. There are photos in the BoW geekhack thread which showed the colours next to CP and WS1 samples.
That would be the same as GMK Paper (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=95810.0) (currently still an IC I believe):Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/4qmlxtU.png)
Just for comparison, GMK Stormtrooper used CP, which is often called "creamy-like" and less white than WS1:Show Image(https://i.redd.it/bsirvd1fgdk01.jpg)
Anyone knows which pantone was picked for EnjoyPBT BoW?
Things are trucking along nicely.Pristine uses the same as GMK 9009 which is L9. The lighting in those photos make them look brighter than in person.
Correct me if I am wrong but GMK Pristine used WS1 correct? So that could be used as reference.

Personally ws1 looks like a really good choice. A more true white thats easy on the eyes.
Ahhh no worries. Thanks for the clarification.

The white balance is off in these but I also made a comparison to Enjoypbt Black on WhiteShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/TjmyXCz.jpg)
I would go for "Enjoypbt Black on White"-white or the ws2I'm not sure if you have seen WS1 in person but it is still very white. The photo that I linked made everything look more yellow and even something like CP which was used GMK stormtrooper and honeywell look incredibly beige there.
I am afraid, ws1 is to yellowish-beige

Why are there two of the same legends printed on some of the keys (z, e, numbers)?
Why are there two of the same legends printed on some of the keys (z, e, numbers)?
While they look like it, they are not the same — the second「 つ」('tsu') is in fact a small「 つ」, which is used in Japanese to indicate either a consonant lengthening or a glottal stop; the small 「 い」('i') is used to indicate the extension of the preceding vowel.
This looks great! Can't wait. Any timeline soon?I hope to have the design complete for prototyping by the end of November.

So are you saying we might have a chance of getting into GB by the end of this year? :p I just want to get my order in ASAP!
Would it be possible for the Japanese modifiers kit to include an ISO enter with the same legend as the ANSI one? And perhaps a 1.25U シフト without the icon so as to not have the stray boring shift?I think ISO has enough options for a layout that isn't as popular. I also think that icon only ISO enter is the best version for that key.
Prototypes :O :O :O :OYeah, this has progressed a bit faster than I thought it would. I'm using the prototypes for this to determine whether I will consider using thinner legends on epbt Grayscale or not.
Gib now.
Probably best to send me the prototypes for review also. It's best for the group that I take one for the team and spend the time reviewing them.Prototypes :O :O :O :OYeah, this has progressed a bit faster than I thought it would.

Do we know pricing yet?Nothing set in stone but I it should be 100-105 including shipping for a the base set + mods of your choice which would make it better value than Enjoypbt Japanese Black Hiragana.
Excited for this! Just notice there is no black ANSI Enter key.There are actually 2 versions of the black ansi enter keys, 1 in each of the mod kits.
Do you have a target date for the GB to openLooking at the GB windows of Grayscale and assuming that Slate runs soon after that, I will be guessing early next year.
In the render, it seems to me the Japanese hiragana characters are dyed in dark blue - is it the case?In the first post? That's black

Black is fine, but dark blue will be even better - but probably costlier.
That EST keep pushing forward :confused: I Hope the samples come in soon so the GB can start? :thumb: Will it run before slate?Yeah...I update the EST when I get updated by Wei. I can only go by the information he sends me but hopefully they will have some photos for me today.

I think it would be after Slate as Hiney has been waiting a while to get that started.
Looks like it will be delayed...again.
I'll just update the title to remove an EST since they are missing their deadlines.
I'll also be going on vacation starting mid next week so it is unlikely that the GB will be run this year.

Then it wouldn't be kuro/shiro :rolleyes:
Does this mean Royal Alpha is delayed as well? Nuts...That is up to donutcat but I'm aiming to have the legends done for that before I leave and then it's up to him to decide what he wants to do.

That is the case with GMK since they don't provide samples until after you submit the order but not with Enjoypbt. They can provide full samples of the whole set which is what I'm waiting for.Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt it the case that the gb runner would get the sample after the buy has already concluded no?Could but it would mean that I wouldn't have the chance of adjusting anything before seeing the samples in person which I think is a bad idea.Looks like it will be delayed...again.

You also have more freedom with Enjoypbt to make adjustments to all the legends since it doesn't rely on a mould.
The reason why I want to do this before the GB starts is so that it doesn't put pressure on the GB timeline as everything is ready to go design wise as soon as the GB has started.

They can provide full samples of the whole set which is what I'm waiting for.Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt it the case that the gb runner would get the sample after the buy has already concluded no?Could but it would mean that I wouldn't have the chance of adjusting anything before seeing the samples in person which I think is a bad idea.Looks like it will be delayed...again.
I'll just update the title to remove an EST since they are missing their deadlines.
I'll also be going on vacation starting mid next week so it is unlikely that the GB will be run this year.
No chance of it happening in december? Really want to see this set transitioned into gb asap!
You also have more freedom with Enjoypbt to make adjustments to all the legends since it doesn't rely on a mould.

Now back to the waiting game.Not wrong hahaha.
Just reverse dyesub. More photos will come later.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/lEaxoT0.png)
Are those reverse dye sub keys just reverse dye sub or actually reverse dye sub + lasered legends?
Both are fine with me. I just want to see them more close up.

They will be black.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/lEaxoT0.png)
Are the black colored base caps in the render going to be black or this color that seems to be a shade of navy in the pictures?

International kit for this is almost too good to be true. I'm definitely in :thumb:
God I love those JP mods so much.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/iRJ75FL.png)
Samples look amazing.Looks like L9 in those photos lol. Will probably be 2nd week of Jan before I I get to see them in person and can take photos as I'm currently overseas on annual leave.
They seem pretty cream with a GMK CP feel instead of WS1/WS2!
If you could post some comparison photos with WS1, WS2 and CP colored keycaps to show the difference that would be great!
Thanks again for doing this and looking forward to the set release :)
Hope Gok doesnt mind me stepping on his toes and posting these :P:eek: :p

uhh, thats just the picture making it look so warm right?
It won't end up being that warm of a white, will it? I was hoping for a cooler whiteAlways hard to tell with photos. Gotta wait for Gok to get them in his hands for review and comment.
uhh, thats just the picture making it look so warm right?I've been told that it matches WS1 if that helps you gauge what the actual colour is.

BoW is whiter than all current GMK sets since they typically use CP as their white.uhh, thats just the picture making it look so warm right?I've been told that it matches WS1 if that helps you gauge what the actual colour is.
Some reviews said EnjoyPBT BoW is whiter than WS1, and is the whitest of all BoW keycap sets.
Then if that is the case, the current ePBT Kuro/Shiro will be darker than the EnjoyPBT BoW and not as white as "the whitest".
True?
Hello, gok101!Would be cool
could you consider adding small spacebars for split-spacebar users?
I mean these don't need to be actual spacebar, just blank R1 keys are fine. (example: "blank Shift")

If I did add it, I'd want it to be as a separate kit with black and white options of each of those sizes plus black spacebars for the sizes included in the Essentials kit as well.
I'm interested depending on price, but I prefer text mods to icon mods.There won't be an option for pure text mods but the Japanese kit will have icon+text

I know you said you were not sure on the white yet, I think it would be cool if you end up an off-white like Japanese paper lanterns. Either way set looks good!I'd settled on GMK WS1 a while ago but I'm not sure whether the samples match it until I see it in person and compare it with my GMK swatches.
Yeah don't mean so off-white it would be like a light beige but just not pure white.

I agree that a slightly off-white would be nice but I'd still like it to be bright as opposed to beige.

I hope the set is at least as white as the current EnjoyPBT BoW, which is whiter than all GMK sets - the reason that I am waiting for this set.
the jap mods are liiiiit. Any estimates on when this will run?Will start sometime in January.
Will the white be like GMK WS1 or CP?Gok has mentioned a few times that currently it matches WS1. He is waiting to see what the samples are like before confirming for production run.
PLEZ HUAREY!!the jap mods are liiiiit. Any estimates on when this will run?Will start sometime in January.

Hope Gok doesnt mind me stepping on his toes and posting these :PWhat's the white process for this case? I'd like to match a bow set to ALF doro67 (pearl white) and have epbt bow but am afraid it'll be too cool white...
They look amazing.
It all depends because there are different types of white for keyboards. From the sample pics that Wei sent me, you can see that the white KBD67 is quite cool and epbt BoW would be a closer match to that.Hope Gok doesnt mind me stepping on his toes and posting these :PWhat's the white process for this case?

Silly question, but this come with the appropriate backspace key for the KOYU layout? I want to buy it, however, still learning about after-market keyboards and keycaps.
Thank you.

The standard mod kit has the box backspace and the Japanese mod kit has the more traditional style of icon+text but with Japanese text instead.
This has become a must buy for me! Addition of a black spacekit would be nice.This is on my to-do list for when I get back from my holiday. I won't be getting samples of these though.

Chance you can add a black enter with white text to match the esc? - or is this already planned, sorry as I haven't read through the whole forum :pIt's in the main post. I try to put everything important there so that people don't need to go through the thread.
Been a couple weeks since I followed the thread. Someone catch me up. Why did we decide to go with a warmer white?
I believe the original plan for this set is WS1, which is really warmer than that of ePBT BoW. It was also stated in the first post of this thread.

This is GMK Printine (L9 which is close to WS1) on a white Filco.
Looking like something yellowish grey on this white keyboard...Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1674/0405/products/1_6d0be8f7-65f5-4625-8707-ed5b59892753_1024x1024.png)Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=90220.0;attach=172364;image)
Just got back home. I will take some photos tomorrow comparing the set to BoW, Black Hiragana and GMK samples.I believe the original plan for this set is WS1, which is really warmer than that of ePBT BoW. It was also stated in the first post of this thread.
I was expecting a cooler “true” white. Odd thing is the black keys seem to have cooler white legends and don’t match WS1. These should be the same color keys but reversed dye sub? The pictures show a difference.

WS1 much brighter than L9. In decending order of brightness among the off-whites, it would go WS1, CP, and then L9.
If I compare it against BoW, it looks brighter and makes BoW look a bit dull and muddy in comparison.
Regarding the reversed dyesubbed keys, they are dyed onto the same base keycap. The black is much darker and nicer in person than in the photos posted by Sherry in the KBDfans discord. What I do need to adjust is the thickness of the legends to account for some bleed/bloom as I can see taht the reversed dyesubbed arrows are a little thinner than the normal ones.
WS2 is something that I am considering for future rounds of BoW, not this. I will talk to Wei about possibly tweaking the colour of kuro/shiro to make it something between WS2 and the sample.This is GMK Printine (L9 which is close to WS1) on a white Filco.

Has WS2 been considered? WS2 is obviously whiter than WS1 without the yellowish creamish tint of the traditional "white" series. It is closer to the Filco case kind of white and the colder color tone to much silver and space grey metal cases.
I like the whitier caps too (like in the mock up??).Keep in mind that the mock-up keyboard was a MAO E6-V2 which is a little grey which means that the keycaps will look brighter in comparison.
But still in if ur decided with ws1 :thumb:
I have the BoW set and it's whiter than my white iphone, white ikea chair, white zowie mouse, white xiaomi lamp and very similar to the white xbox one controller. WS1 should match better with the other white things (except the white xbox controller).I can only compare the samples against the white Zowie mouse as I don't own any of the other references you have mentioned but the samples are a little warmer (reddish hue) compared to the mouse.
Will KBDfans be the only place to buy the keycaps or are there proxys like for epbt Slate?Yes, only through KBDfans.
I am in the minority here maybe because I don't have a black on white keyset but I really like this white. I hope I can join the GB.
I have updated the main post.
This is currently how it looks on my white Chiwi60Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/0xbIqb8.jpg)
I will be ordering some Pantone samples to try and find a slightly less yellow type of white. My intention is still to make it warmer than BoW but not as warm as the current sample.
The dyesubbing is looking sharp though and I am much happier with how the samples of this came out compared to BoW.

I really like it on that picture with the Chiwi. It actually matches the white on the case pretty well and doesn't seem as yellowish as the kbdfans pictures. Even if you don't change the white, I'm back in for this set.It's hard to tell from the photo but they are a bit more yellow than the Chiwi but the Chiwi's finish is whiter than most whites.
The black accent keys look great too! Will there also be a black spacebar kit?
Edit: I saw you already added spacebars. Is there any chance you would add arrow keys with kanji on them instead of arrows? Like 上、右、左 and 下

Hi Gok,I never really cared much for ISO before but I had revised the legends as part of the Royal Alpha redesign so I have fixed a few of the ISO legends in the process.
I dont know if this is possible and in time enough to fix it a bit.
After i got BoW i noticed the Æ in the international kit is slightly bolder and pops out a little.
( maybe it has some todo with the double lines in it, dunno or maybe my eyes is playing tricks )
I think it has something todo with the space in the Æ and a little bump on the top of it. I hope i can explain good enough, let me know what you see :)

Yes, I will be updating the legends on that set soon.

Also anyone have suggestions for a 60 to put these on? Would like some suggestions if you do. :)

Any chance of additional accent colours? This set is perfect, but I think a nice soft pastel colour option for enter/esc/space would interest a lot of people.ePBT Grayscale has some spacebar kits that sounds like what you are describing. Adding in color to this set wouldn't make it kuro/shiro anymore.

I will be testing some other colourways with these legends in the near-ish future - WoB with red sublegends. If the quality is good, I think it will be a game changer and we will start seeing more colourful PBT sets in the future.

I think it has something todo with the space in the Æ and a little bump on the top of it. I hope i can explain good enough, let me know what you see :)

Attached is the updated legend for the key you were referring to.
EDIT: I've also just realised that I need to add keys to the International kit so that the correct sublegends are present because keys such as Æ change between Danish and Norwegian layouts, etc.
Thank you for caring mate :thumb:
Looks perfect!!

:eek: :-*
Edit. And please do PM if you would need help sorting some of those Nordic letters out :)
What that would mean is that there is a double up of the same sublegend. The extra key on R2 that you get from using ISO enter already has it.I have updated the ISO kit preview image. I ended up adding only 1 more key. Let me know if anything looks a bit off.Yes, I will be updating the legends on that set soon. The existing samples were based on BoW but Slate, Grayscale and Royal Alpha will have the thinner legends, similar to Kuro/Shiro.Hi Gok,I never really cared much for ISO before but I had revised the legends as part of the Royal Alpha redesign so I have fixed a few of the ISO legends in the process.
I dont know if this is possible and in time enough to fix it a bit.

Any chance of additional accent colours? This set is perfect, but I think a nice soft pastel colour option for enter/esc/space would interest a lot of people.Not for this set. As the name of the set suggests, it will be strictly black and white.
I will be testing some other colourways with these legends in the near-ish future - WoB with red sublegends. If the quality is good, I think it will be a game changer and we will start seeing more colourful PBT sets in the future.
For all those instances, that is a Japanese sublegend taking over an iso legend. When I opened a Google form asking what people wanted, the result was overwhelmingly in favour of that option.I have updated the ISO kit preview image. I ended up adding only 1 more key.

I would personal prefer a sublegend on Å. ( marked in red ) ( the symbols you are going for are nice! i just dont even know how to output them :P )

Dark Green:
I added a reference from BoW ( light green ) ( i dont mind the symbol instead of the ~ )
Cyan:
I added a reference from BoW ( light green ) The new symbol instead of the | Is it the Japanese version of it? :P ( marked in red )
Let me know if it makes sense? :)

Hey everybody. My pantone swatches came in but I don't think they have enough whites so I am going with paint swatches instead like these (https://i.imgur.com/xFooNwU.jpg).
It is very hard to judge a white based on a photo as every single swatch shown in that photo has a slightly different hue but they appear to be the largely same.
I have chosen a colour which is very neutral. What I have noticed from looking at paint samples and their associated RGB values is that neutral RGB codes appear naturally warm and that colours such as GMK WS2 have a blue tint to them.
I have taken a photo (https://imgur.com/jYsOhQz) of the colour I'm aiming for, along with some GMK colour samples and the original Kuro/Shiro sample (the unlabelled keycap on the far right).
I'll be sending 3 copies of the swatch to KBDfans so that they can forward them on to Enjoypbt and keep 1 as a control for internal checking if they wish to do so.
This is out of scope for this GB, but any chance you could run a Topre set in this colorway also - like KBDfans did with 9009? Just a random thought that popped into my head. I feel like this would look awesome on my HHKB JP, and I don't want to drill holes in my keyboard / cut stems off of keycaps. Either way, I'm still for sure joining this buy.Actually, Wei has told me that he wants to run a topre version already. It might happen later this year.

Really hoping this comes after February. I'd really love to join but I already have so many other planned expenses right now and February.Luckily for you that the Chinese New Year holidays will delay things then!

Chinese New Year will delay the process because I still need to wait for Enjoypbt to produce a new sample to match the white I've picked and they won't be doing this till after Chinese New Year because they are fulfilling existing orders.Really hoping this comes after February. I'd really love to join but I already have so many other planned expenses right now and February.Luckily for you that the Chinese New Year holidays will delay things then!
I thought KBDFans will still accept orders during CNY period but they won't be shipping anything in that period? Or do you mean you won't launch the GB during this period?
Also will this be priced similar to GMK sets or cheaper/more expensive?

GB won't start until I'm happy with the sample. My main concern is that they arent able to match the colour I want or aren't able to do so without sacrificing the opaqueness (which was an issue with BoW)
Ooo love this cant wait for GB :D With the set backs are you aiming for mid or late 2019?I'm aiming for early to mid 2019.
Also anyone have suggestions for a 60 to put these on? Would like some suggestions if you do. :)
Regarding keyboard matches, I think it will work best with most warm colours and neutral tones but not black.
White, burgundy, green, blue/grey or grey would be my picks.
Are the currently shown kits final? I think this set would look amazing with a dark mods kitPretty much. It is meant to be a predominantly white set with only a few black accents.
Gok runs his projects with patience and dedication and attention to details.Looking at things that have large and flat surfaces is quite different to some small and has lots of edges a d faces like keycaps. When it comes to whites, the hue is accentuated when it is in shadow which is pretty much the sides of the keycap.
I will join this GB and this set is probably going to be my #1 black on white set for all my keyboards - hope it also has the compatibility.
Gok, perhaps you can walk in an IKEA shop to gain some inspiration of what kind of white is the best - they do have lots of products with different kinds of white ranging from warm to cold, from milk cream white to fresh snow white. By the way, my favorite "natural white" (or "fog white" as they call it) EnjoyPBT set does look like not 100% opaque, but it is fine with me.
Can I confirm that you’re still offering the spacebar set? It’s listed as an option, but there aren’t any samples (not that I need to see samples of blank keys, just asking).Yes, I added the kit in one of my updates but samples won't be produced.

Is there an ETA as in when will the GB start?Unfortunately, no. I posted the swatches and sent KBDfans the updated file this week and the factories will be shutdown until the middle of February so it will be a while before there are new samples.

Hi, I know this might be a hard question to answer, but I'd just like to try:Yeah, it's a hard one because I don't want to promise anything when I don't even have a guaranteed production time line from the manufacturer at the moment but I'm hoping for a GB in late March and have these ready by end of May.
Once this GB starts, how long do you guesstimate it will take to finish production and start shipping? 2-3 months?
I plan to downsize my collection this year to only one MX keyboard (plus one HHKB and one Alps). Currently I want to join the GMK Jamon GB which will ship around mid June. But if Kuro ships before then, I probably will skip Jamon and just wait for Kuro.
Thanks.

Chances are it may not happen that way.
any date on GB?As discussed above, I can't give any definite dates at the moment.
God I hope the GB will commence soon. Just can't wait to have these on hands!any date on GB?As discussed above, I can't give any definite dates at the moment.
Love the alphas. Are the modifiers the same color as the alphas? In one picture it looks different. They look incredible on the white case, I hope it looks as good on silver and black cases as well.They are the same colour.
Standard and japanese modifiers both look great. I'm leaning more towards standard because it balances out the more messy/ complex japanese alphas, but it does seem more boring because we've seen epbt modifiers before.

Hi, since it's another Japanese keyset, maybe not this time but in the future is there any chance of adding a kit to support JIS layout?I've thought about this but the demand is really low since it isn't a common layout.

Is there any update? :pIt looks like my mail of the colour samples has been lost enroute to the KBDfans warehouse so I'll be sending another batch to direct to their China address today. :(
My heart dropped like roller coaster.

It will probably be another week or 2 before they even start making the next round of prototypes.

The issue would be that I'd need to get the sample to you first and then you'd need to forward it on so it would be faster if I just mail it directly.My heart dropped like roller coaster.

I actually live in HK, where I'm pretty close to CN; any chance I could mail the color sample for you and speed up the process?Is there any update? :pIt looks like my mail of the colour samples has been lost enroute to the KBDfans warehouse so I'll be sending another batch to direct to their China address today. :(
It will probably be another week or 2 before they even start making the next round of prototypes.
Wei has confirmed that he's received the colour samples so hopefully they can make the next batch of prototypes soon.cannot wait!
When will the GB go live ? I definitely need a set of these Kuro PBT.Maybe at the end of the month if everything goes right.

How long would the GB period last? Looking forward to get this set for my beater/work board!

I planning to build a M60a Kuro with these keycaps on.
I've got a black chiwi that I can chuck it on but my personal opinion is that there is that the contrast is too stark and that the normal Epbt Japanese black hiragana set would fit better.
One issue with that is that it has subjectively worse legends, especially the split backspace (think of R1 epbt 9009).
I might do a revision of the black hiragana set if there is ever another round since it would be easy to transfer the legends to that.

Could you slap it on the black chiwi! :p :p :p
I would like it to be Highly contrasted, too make it crisp and pop
just like thisShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/bxq0Mrw.jpg)
My first plan was the M60A Kuro and GMK Metaverse but I am worrying about the shine as I will use it as my daily driver.
Then I saw your PBT creation, and it looks like a perfect alternative to the Metaverse. :)
Can the kits still be tweaked? Or are they locked now?

What sort of tweaks were you thinking? It's very late to be requesting changes since the interest check has been open for a while but if it isn't drastic, I might be able to accommodate it if I think it would be a good idea.

Nothing drastic, only highly hoping for 2u bar in the spacebars kit and an R1 1u Hack key in both mod kits - please.
There is a 2u spacebar in the 40% kit which is where I think it belongs because I don't want ortho users to have to purchase another kit to provide the compatibility since they would already have a ton of leftover keys.
Regarding hack keys, what is their actual function? It seems like it would be a double up of what the Super and Code (Japanese kit version) provide.

The 2u bar's in the 40% ortho kit can remain where it is. I was hoping for the spacebar kit to also include them too. 🙏
Hack key is an alternative Fn key. Requesting for dual Fn usage. A second 1u Fn also works if not doable. 🙏
Sorry, I don't like the idea of doubling up on a key in different sets.
There is already a 1x 1u Fn and 2x 1u Super. Would that not cover your use case?

It is for dual 2u split space. I already have the intention of getting the 40% kit with the spacebar kit but would be great if it also contains 2u in the spacebar kit.
The Super keys are fine, I can make do with that.

I see now. I don't think many people would be needing this so I don't want to add it to the set but I'll talk to KBDfans about the possibility of adding an extra one to your order.

Sorry if I missed it, but what is the color code of the black? Or is it custom?There isn't really one but it's just meant to be straight up black.

I only ask, because I already have spacebars from GMK Serika, which uses GMK/Uniqey N9 as the color. Wondering if it would look out of place with the other black keys.
Hi all, just wondering if the 6u spacebar in the Essentials and/or Spacebar kits are centred or off-centred? I tried searching the thread but couldn't find an answer. Thank youIt will be the same as the 6u spacebars in Epbt 9009, etc. which I don't have on hand at the moment but I can check for you when I get home.
Thanks gok, much appreciated.Each 6u spacebar has 2 switch/stab positions for offset and centred.

Oh awesome, I didn't know that was possible (thought centre and off overlapped) but that is great. Thank you for following up gokThanks gok, much appreciated.Each 6u spacebar has 2 switch/stab positions for offset and centred.

A bit weird that EnjoyPBT Extended 2048is also planning to run at the end of March through KBDfans.That will be up to KBDfans to decide but it's usually 4 weeks max.When will the GB go live ? I definitely need a set of these Kuro PBT.Maybe at the end of the month if everything goes right.
How long would the GB period last? Looking forward to get this set for my beater/work board!
Heard something in kbd’s China group, it looks like it’s coming soon. Many are hyped!

Is that something that just happens on ejpbt's keycap or the problem has already been rectified? Thanks!
I think the issue isn't the fact that they are both homing and barred but that they have made the underside of it too thick when they opted for the scoop.Hey there, have you read this and heard the sound :eek:

This is something that happens with scooped cherry profile homing keys in general. This issue really isn't something that will go away unless enjoypbt starts giving people the option of scooped or barred homing keys. Currently, they combine both homing key styles.
Is the noise issue only notable on silenced switches or north facing switches or something? I have ePBT blanks on my current board and my homing keys aren't any different sounding than anything else on my board.
That's a decent compromise.

I don't think they have purely barred keys but I'll see what they can do. Worst case is that I add in non homing keys to the set.
Just checked out the renders of GMK Minimal which has the WS1 color.
Best would be between WS1 and WS2 - a bit whiter less yellowish tone than the GMK Minimal.
Not getting GMK Minimal this time (despite of its very appealing smaller real spacebar units with convex surfaces) because of limited money, and also that I think most of the light color sets (GMK Muted, Pristine, Minimal) had better be produced in the PBT dyesub way.

Curious why you think lighter colors are better off in PBT? I always thought - for me- it's best to buy GMK for light sets so shine is less prevalent and just buy PBT if I really like the set.

Just updated the main post with renders of the PVD brass RAMA cap with white enamel infill.
Hmm... Then where is the RAMA "白" keycap?I was thinking of that but it would need to be e-coated to get a true white and I was worried about durability issues on paint.
Never thought I'd want to get keycaps with japanese on them, something always bothered me with that level of weebery, but this is too beautiful to not get!The whole point of this hobby is to make things exactly to your taste that you cannot buy anywhere else, man. Hell, most people don’t even know what “weeb” means.

Is the key set finalized? I was wondering if there is a plan for 40% staggered support.Sorry, I don't think there is enough demand for it. ISO was already a stretch.
I like the RAMA cap! perfect as it is :)Yep, coloured enamel is possible but I want to keep colour off this set.
I dont know if its possible to-do colored enamel :))

In your original photos your backspace key used the backspace icon… but in later renders you’ve gone with the long backwards arrow. I personally prefer the proper icon (the X is good for delete, while a plain left arrow feels like a cursor).Sorry, I'm not sure which original photo you are referring to. The Japanese mod kit has the more traditional style of arrow + text and the icon has the longer arrow on the 2u and box on the 1.25u which I think works for an icon mod kit. I am trying to differentiate the 2 mod kits as much as possible whilst sticking with the original theme and also allowing for mixing and matching between the mod kits.
Any reason for the change?
I’m in regardless! A mix of kits and that kuro Rama novelty for sure!
Any word on the scooped homing keys yet? It seems the runner for Extended 2048 managed to get barred only homing keys from epbt for their set.I've received confirmation that they are able to do barred keys which will be what I'm running with.
Is the key set finalized? I was wondering if there is a plan for 40% staggered support.Sorry, I don't think there is enough demand for it. ISO was already a stretch.

Thanks for the reply.
I like this Delete key (it matches my iPhone keyboard):Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/YBp0c2C.jpg)
I am not a fan of this “long arrow” Delete key in the later photos (with and without the Japanese text):Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/6bQzWws.jpg)
That is only my preference. Was just asking about why it changed.

R4 2u has always been different since it mimics the GMK style. I think that if I made both of them the box style, quite a few people would complain.

Personally, I'd love to see a コマンド for mac users. Also, any reason why the Super equivalent is コード instead of スーパー?Because スーパー is actually short for supermarket.

I've been told that the group buy should be open tomorrow.Oh yeaaahhh! Do you have estimate for the time of shipping? :p
We haven't confirmed out the final colour yet but I feel that we have a long enough window to sort it and the back-up colour which was used for the current batch of samples is already quite nice.

too excited for this!Rather than just inverted, I want it to have red sublegends but I'm waiting for epbt to be able to produce it.
Also is it possible to invert the colors for next run? Shiro/Kuro?
Are the mods and the alphas the same color or slightly different?They are the same.

Yes, like that! There is also a Japanese version that's sold on OCO as well I believe.
“Production time is expected to take 45-60 days”
God, I’m so happy I’m into EnjoyPBT and not GMK or SA :)
I was close to getting a second set of Japanese caps from the Massdrop Re-Cap… until I realised they charged $59 USD on top of the price of each option you pick. Some modifiers were going to cost the same as this whole kit. And the GMK will go shiny in a few months any way.
I've just purchased the base and the ortho kits, can't wait for them!Sorry, I have the prototype caps for the ortho kit but no ortho board to put them on.
Btw, are there any pics/renders of the caps on a ortho board?
Gongrats Master Gok!! :cool:Not yet. I should be getting the new colour samples next week.
it's been a long wait, but hot damn it's gonna be worth it! Thanks for doing this set :)
Did you get the new sampels?
Any pics of a full spacebar? Only thing im worried about is the flex on that.Regarding warp, the mindset I have is to prepare for the worst but hope for the best. I have my hairdryer ready.
I've waited months for this! I saw the Rama artisan price and I was like "nope, I'm not that crazy". Congratulations Gok!Haha I know it is a bit pricey but I think it would be fairer to compare the price with other artisans.
Sorry, if this is somewhere in the thread already / if it’s obvious, but what does the sign on the Rama cap mean?

It says "Black"
Do you agree?
Also, Space bar kit:
I really want to know if the space bar kit are really space bars (but not just blank caps without the proper convex space bar profile).
So neither you nor Wei (KBDfans) have posted any photos of Sample #2 with revised white color?
KBDfans are using the old photos from `the a bit yellowish Sample #1:
By comparing across photos (not in the same photo) the white has so much yellowish tint to a degree is close to GMK L9 and 3K, not yet even CP - really not talking about WS1 yet.
It is best to show the sample caps next to some Pantone or other GMK caps with known color code, in the same photo.
Do you agree?
(Some people like it yellowish, I cannot object to this)

Gok, do you have a picture of the set with the icon mods on? Trying to decide between these and the japanese mods... 🤔
I might retrospectively add a shiro (white) one as well depending on how zambumon's Jamon egg cap turns out.

I think the Icon mods make the set look more balanced. Japanese mods with Japanese alphas just looks too busy. But that’s just my taste. :)

Just picked up a base kit, Japanese mod kit, and a spacebar kit. Was on the fence about adding a RAMA keycap, but I really enjoy that base kit ESC key.Yeah, it's quite pricey but black PVD is so nice! I'll probably buy a couple to pair it with GMK WoB as well.

@gokThese were up to KBDfans and I believe the reason is because they don't want to overlap with some of their other future GBs.
Is there a chance you could extend the GB period to April 30th and not the 25th of april. Q2 take off is crazy atm :p

Is this key supposed to be 1.25u?Yes, I've just checked the file and there were 2 keys on top of each other :confused:

Thanks for all the support. MOQ has been reached on the RAMA artisan which was something that I was a bit concerned about considering the price.Damn, what's the MOQ for that? 20? 50? And only after, what, 2 days?
I hope this doesn't screw you up but I made a mistake and the 6u actually has an off-centred stem. I had a batch of 9009 spacebars in my tray and no keyboard that utilises 6u so I assumed that the smallest sized ones were 6u without counting the spacing properly.Oh awesome, I didn't know that was possible (thought centre and off overlapped) but that is great. Thank you for following up gokThanks gok, much appreciated.Each 6u spacebar has 2 switch/stab positions for offset and centred.

Will this issue from the International kit Enjoypbt 9009 R4 set be fixed? The Ä's are a little bit too low and therefore they are not correct aligned. I found this from a user reviewing the Enjoypbt 9009 R4 set on kbdfans in the comments sectionThis is something that I noticed in their design file and changed when I worked on grayscale and 9009 R4 but they must have ignored it. I'll check my samples that I have for Kuro/Shiro but I'll also make a point of this issue since I'll be bringing up some of the alignment issues during manufacture that I saw on Grayscale as well.

Is there any chance of having custom-printed caps? I joined the GB but I still want to have the completely correct legends for my JIS layout, even it would cost a lot ...Get a list of keys that you need and contact Wei from KBDfans. You can tell him that I'd be willing to do the design but ultimately, it will be his decision whether he wants to do it or not.

Well I am confused by the KBDfans site right now, there is not a single contact method displayed there anywhere? Could you forward me an email address where I can send my new address details for my order?
I don't have a Facebook account so I would need to find an email address, will dig through my order history. Thanks!

Any possibility of extras for the rama caps?
Out of curiosity, how many Rama caps were commissioned?I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to disclose that. What is already known is that MOQ is 50 and that was obviously met.
Will there be extra sets available on the vendors? I regret not grabbing a planck kit...You will need to ask KBDfans directly. If push comes to shove, I have a planck kit sample that I could sell you.

Missed this sadly :( need base and either of the mod sets. Japanese pref.I happen to have ordered the base set and japanese modifiers, I'm still thinking if I should sell or keep them though

10 days left!I know it's a long shot, but if anyone is looking at selling theirs please let me know.From Discord: “It is in production and expected to be shipped around July 20th”
Looking for essentials, Japanese mod and numpad kits.
So hang in there guys. Delays are normal, and this is still a way shorter wait than GMK or SA.
Latest news from KBDfans is they need to redo the whole batch of Kuro/Shiro because the white is too warm. Hopefully it will be ready in August.

Where did you see this? I've been following the discord pretty closely and haven't heard anything like that.

From KBDfans QQ just now.
While that does suck, I think it's for the best. The pic of it did look kinda creamy

I'll be posting pics of the latest samples next to the first samples later today when I get good natural light and I'll go through what happened.

Updates need to also be posted in the GB thread (and the IC thread should be locked after the GB begins).
Speaking of which, I can't locate the GB thread for this buy... Could you please link me to the thread?
It's also probably worth reviewing the IC guidelines (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36672.0) and GB guidelines (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88717.0).

I was only meant to be running the IC and the GB was to be administered by KBDfans but that never happened so I'm doing what I can here.
Sure. If somebody can approve it for me even if I'm not actually the runner.I'll be posting pics of the latest samples next to the first samples later today when I get good natural light and I'll go through what happened.

Okay, I see. One of you (yourself or KBDfans) does still need to start a GB thread - you can’t run the GB through an IC thread. Would you mind creating a GB thread to post the updates into? Or asking KBDfans to do so?
We all thank you for not sending out a product that doesn't meet your artistic standards. Would it be fair to say that the new shipping date has been extended to around September?Last time I spoke to KBDfans, they said 45-60 day delay.

I'll be posting future updates on the GB thread so this IC should really be locked.
