any chance for text mods? or even all icon

cause you have made it half icon and half text and im not sure why you would do that tbh

Lots of sets do it this way, full icon mods aren't popular (personally I find them to be ugly, at least with the GMK style icons).

Using icons on backspace, shift, tab, caps lock and enter while leaving the rest as text may seem illogical, but for many it looks a lot better.

It's also the way Cherry made their icon mods:
Show Image

(someone can correct me, but I believe ANSI boards were made with icon + text mods and ISO boards were icon only)


i would agree, icon mods suck, and full text mods should be the only version allowed, but the mix is nearly as bad as full icon

>Lots of sets do it this way

lots of sets these days are brutal lol

Yes, there will be stepped caps. I have actually included an international kit, so there will be more support in an alternate kit.

More than sacrilege, the real problem is that it's uncomfortable to feel two different kinds of textures under one's fingers while typing. Even mixing very rough PBT and very smooth PBT caps can produce this.

Seriously though, love ePBT, sweet set, great cause, and that RAMA cap is just awesome. I'm buying a number of black on white kits (yes I know this kit isn't exactly BoW) so I may just have to support with a RAMA purchase.

Good update! Couple lingering issues in the base kit, though:

- The R3 1.5U \| is still present twice. Delete the one in the lower R3.

- R1 End and Page Down are missing. OTOH, they're present twice in R4: in the base kit and in the numpad kit. The solution is to leave the numpad as is and move those two R4 keys in the base kit down to R1.


When's the GB starting?

No worries, it's still a great set :D If it's due to keeping a certain pricepoint on the other set, then perhaps you can throw it into the International kit - we're used to buying extra keys anyway :D

So sad I hadn't seen this until now! Love the set!
I know adding a kit this late would be an almost guaranteed 'no' but figured I will ask anyway. Thoughts on an ergo set? Even just the add on for the 1.5u's and 2u's instead of a full kit with alphas.
Really like the idea of this set being for charity. Hope it goes well :)

Hey, I'm loving the colors and kits after the update. I also think the tribal deskmat looks really nice. Those patterns remind me of traditional Serbian embroidery (although ours never had anything to do with elephants :D). I have some suggestions for a few of the kits, which I hope you'll take into consideration.

A few things I noticed about the icons kit:
  • If you're going to support 1.5u Super (♢) keys for Mac and OG-style HHKB bottom rows, there should be two 1u Alt (⎇) keys as well (currently there's only one).
  • The Super (♢) icons look at a tad too large to me.
  • The Raise (⥣) / Lower (⥥) icons look a tad too large and too thick. Try making them the same relative size as the PgUp/PgDn icons.
  • It would be nice to see R2 PgUp (⭻), R1 PgDn (⭽) icons, but I understand if you decide not to include these as the kit is already decently sized. In that case, what you could do instead is add a single R2 Raise (⥣) key, which, together with a R1 Lower (⥥) key, could stand in for R2 PgUp, R1 PgDn.

Also, the base kit:
  • Consider changing R1 1.25u Menu to Fn. 1.25u Fn is very commonly used on 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL and full-size keyboards. If you make this change, you can remove the 1.25u Fn key from the Nomad kit. However, if you really want to keep Menu, please add Fn alongside it for those of us who need it (although I don't think this is necessary because Fn is a versatile legend that can also work as a Menu key).
  • Consider using <> instead of \| for the R1 ISO key in the base kit. This will help avoid a duplicate legend that some ISO users have been complaining about.

Finally, the spacebar kit:
  • Are the 6u spacebars centered stem or off-centered stem?
  • 1.75u space isn't used on any keyboards outside of the following 40% boards: Vortex Core (×1), JD40/45 (×2). For that reason I don't think it's worth including a 1.75u accent space key in the spacebar kit.
  • You might want to include an alpha-colored 1.25u space key either in the spacebar kit or the Nomad kit for Alice users who prefer to use the 2u+1.25u left space configuration, as well as for users who like to split 6.25u spacebars as 2.25u+1.25u+2.75u and want to use alpha-colored keys to do it.

GL with the upcoming GB!

Also, the base kit:
  • Consider changing R1 1.25u Menu to Fn. 1.25u Fn is very commonly used on 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL and full-size keyboards. If you make this change, you can remove the 1.25u Fn key from the Nomad kit. However, if you really want to keep Menu, please add Fn alongside it for those of us who need it (although I don't think this is necessary because Fn is a versatile legend that can also work as a Menu key).
  • Consider using <> instead of \| for the R1 ISO key in the base kit. This will help avoid a duplicate legend that some ISO users have been complaining about.

Finally, the spacebar kit:
  • Are the 6u spacebars centered stem or off-centered stem?
  • 1.75u space isn't used on any keyboards outside of the following 40% boards: Vortex Core (1×), Daisy (1×), JD40/45 (2×). For that reason I don't think it's worth including a 1.75u accent space key in the spacebar kit.
  • You might want to include an alpha-colored 1.25u space key either in the spacebar kit or the Nomad kit for Alice users who prefer to use the 2u+1.25u left space configuration, as well as for users who like to split 6.25u spacebars as 2.25u+1.25u+2.75u and want to use alpha-colored keys to do it.

Hey, I'm loving the colors and kits after the update. I also think the tribal deskmat looks really nice. Those patterns remind me of traditional Serbian embroidery (although ours never had anything to do with elephants :D). I have some suggestions for a few of the kits, which I hope you'll take into consideration.

A few things I noticed about the icons kit:
  • If you're going to support 1.5u Super (♢) keys for Mac and OG-style HHKB bottom rows, there should be two 1u Alt (⎇) keys as well (currently there's only one).
  • The Super (♢) icons look at a tad too large to me.
  • The Raise (⥣) / Lower (⥥) icons look a tad too large and too thick. Try making them the same relative size as the PgUp/PgDn icons.
  • It would be nice to see R2 PgUp (⭻), R1 PgDn (⭽) icons, but I understand if you decide not to include these as the kit is already decently sized. In that case, what you could do instead is add a single R2 Raise (⥣) key, which, together with a R1 Lower (⥥) key, could stand in for R2 PgUp, R1 PgDn.

Also, the base kit:
  • Consider changing R1 1.25u Menu to Fn. 1.25u Fn is very commonly used on 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL and full-size keyboards. If you make this change, you can remove the 1.25u Fn key from the Nomad kit. However, if you really want to keep Menu, please add Fn alongside it for those of us who need it (although I don't think this is necessary because Fn is a versatile legend that can also work as a Menu key).
  • Consider using <> instead of \| for the R1 ISO key in the base kit. This will help avoid a duplicate legend that some ISO users have been complaining about.

Finally, the spacebar kit:
  • Are the 6u spacebars centered stem or off-centered stem?
  • 1.75u space isn't used on any keyboards outside of the following 40% boards: Vortex Core (1×), Daisy (1×), JD40/45 (2×). For that reason I don't think it's worth including a 1.75u accent space key in the spacebar kit.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'm taking most of them into account. Don't worry about how the legends look in the icon kit, it's not what EPBT will use to align and size the legends, and the raise and lower keys are not what they look like in the render; they fit more. The 6u spacebars in the spacebar kit are centered.
