About the Set:
We present to you PBTfans Basin! This set was designed to reflect the dynamic blue-grays of the ocean. Amidst the vastness of an oceanic basin are a wide variety of colors, and we have chosen a sinking gradient to portray diving into the depths of the ocean.
About the Designers:
Asynq Designs is a team that consists of three people: Aiden, Synthereal, and Nqrwhql. We each spent the last year learning and designing up until this point to present this set to you.

PBTfans
Due to the wait time for ePBT, we have decided to switch our manufacture over to PBTfans. If you aren't already aware, PBTfans is a new manufacture created by KBDfans.

Why change?
If we go with ePBT, the gradient color difference wouldn't be as significant as we envisioned. Additionally, ePBT currently has a long queue they need to clear up before starting new sets. Finally, this change is also better for you guys because you would be receiving your order sooner at a lower price.
What's the difference?
Instead of reverse dye-sub, it'll be double-shot on PBT plastic. In simpler terms, the legends are injected, look sharper, and will never fade or chip. Usually, double-shot is much more expensive than reverse dye-sub but in this case, it won't be. In fact, it'll be cheaper than our ePBT prices which used reverse dye-sub. This is largely because of the preset kits we need to follow which makes manufacturing much easier and faster.
What are the new wait times looking like?
Say goodbye to the 1-2 year wait times and say hello to 2-3 month wait time. This is because instead of approving the samples months after GB we have already approved the samples.
Are there any quality issues that I should know about?
As far as I can tell after testing other PBTfans sets, I can confidently say that I have had no issues with it and I daresay that these sets are better than GMK sets. The keycap thickness is 1.6mm whereas GMK is 1.5mm.
