Title: [IC] ePbt - Be The One - GB February 1st!
Post by: zekth on Sat, 15 August 2020, 17:35:36
Hello Geekhack!

This keyset is heavily inspired by the IDE theme One Dark Pro (https://github.com/Binaryify/OneDark-Pro). I wanted to offer a Pbt set kind of discrete with a composition potential using the several kits available. Also note that there is NorDe, FR and BE kits; if people interested in other language i'm willing to add those if enough people interested in.

During the development of this set the mention of a monochrome kit of the mods was raised, is anyone into this kind of kit?

Agree! A complete uniform set in this base color would be beautiful.
As it is now, alphas look super clean but the mods are in the way.
I would not mind having colored mod labels in a separate kit.

Not interested in a monochrome kit. I like the colorful mod legends on the base kit. The accent kit is pretty too!

I don't care who makes it, as long as it's PBT and the best quality it can be I will be happy :)


It's about time PBT gets a nice IDE theme :D

Unfortunately it does not have Colevrak support so it does not work for me :(

Kuro/Shiro accents

Looks nice, but I agree that another manu would be better  :)

Consider changing manufacturers. EPBT will likely not be able to produce this.

Regarding the concerns about ePbt and reverse dyesub; i've validated the possibility of realizing this project with Wei before starting the renders and so on. I'm currently waiting for samples. Kuro/Shiro accents were a bit fuzzy on some batches but some others came OK. See: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/364402716354543617/744500386097922148/IMG_20200816_121745.jpg?width=512&height=683
Sidenote, the kuro/shiro accent is deep black which may involves more stress on the key itself leading to the potential issue some keys had.

Also If we check the ePbt Royal alpha it came pretty good: https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/hCCQY0RMYuionNl8UxiRF7SszKLEb2QtuG1uqWVc3ps/%3Fv%3D1595318844/https/cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1473/3902/products/7_e6b342c5-d95e-4a2f-b07a-b8118d96ce64_1800x1800.jpg?width=683&height=683

Not saying here i'm blindly sure it will come out perfect, i'm waiting for samples to validate it.

Why choose ePbt? Because the MOQ policy is way more flexible for child kits with less popularity like FR/BE/Norde/dvorak and so on. This set without this compatibility makes no real sense to me as i mainly made it for people not being able to get for example GMK Oblivion / Nord which are in the same tones / theme.

On nice! didn't consider that Colevrak was included on that note.

Hope there is enough interest for it then :)

Do you plan on having a survey or something to keep track of it?

Another feedback is about the Blue color of the theme. It is an important part of it, have you considered adding it?

I like that this will be a more affordable similar-ish scheme to
Nord. Very interested in the small compat kit. May I recommend dropping both gold/blue R4 1u shifts and both gold/blue R3 1.5u Fn keys. You already offer plenty of accents in red and tan that the gold not only clashes with, but potentially increases the price of the small compat kit because of additional colors (not sure if that is a concern though for this manuf). The kit still needs 1u shift though, so perhaps offer it in tan/blue?

Anyways, GL with IC!

Reminiscent of other sets based on IDE color schemes, but not in a bad way. Would buy. If you're including the extra 'B' in the base kit, it would be nice to have the space bars in there, too.

You mean dropping the accents of r4 1U shift and r3 1.5u Fn? only the accent not the regular one? What about the tab and the backspace?

I mean for the 40s compat is the accent on ESC and enter enough? To be honest i've replicated the accent to the whole kit to match the possibility offered by the accent kit; but does it make really sense? I don't know i use only 60% and TKL :/
Opinion from 40 people appreciated here

Regarding alice layout there is 2 schools, Shifts and spacebars; shifts are already in the base kit, so if people want to have the spacebar the spacebar kit is here.

I highly recommend popping by the 40s discord for a minute to get advice from more than just myself then. We are a diverse lot.

What I can tell you is that your kit looks a bit bloated to me. Generally, 40s kits offer one accent, if any at all. But since this is EPBT and not GMK, there’s usually more flex room.

I would also drop the 1.75u spacebar as I’m not sure there are any 40% layouts which use only one; there are a couple which use two, but they aren’t very popular. I would also drop the 3u as I don’t know what uses that. Further, I would add a second 2u spacebar because  the 2x2u layout on ortho is fairly popular.

Personally, I think you could drop all of the red accents from the 40s kit and just go with tan accents.  But that’s just me!

I'd like to point out that, as it stands now, the "Be the frozen north" kit contains partial support for English (UK): the four keys in the first R1 row are exclusive to it, but then the required R3 #~, R3 '@ and R4 \| keys are missing for no apparent reason.

Also: the base kit and both French kits display the vertical bar (|) as the broken bar (¦), but the "Be the frozen north" kit uses the plain vertical bar instead (and that's before considering the `¬¦ keycap, which has a broken bar to represent... a broken bar).

Thanks for catching this, indeed i completely forgot about the ISO UK and i'll isolate it in another kit.

Regarding the shrink / warp issues on ePbt caps, ePbt is currently making new molds fixing those issues. The sample i ordered for the color match will not use those as the molds are not in production yet. Will share any news i got from them.

Definitely interested. Very happy you included a 1.75u spacebar in the 40s set (I have been looking for a set that contains 2 1.75u spacebars; I would be able to acquire these via this set by purchasing the Compact/40s and Astronaut/spacebars sets).

Not sure if it's possible, but the addition of a 1.5u R1 backspace would be incredible (but not at all a deal breaker for me it is not).

Thanks!

Wut.
I don't see how these things are related :V

I would also drop the 1.75u spacebar as I’m not sure there are any 40% layouts which use only one; there are a couple which use two, but they aren’t very popular.
Only Vortex Core uses 1× 1.75u. Also Minitomic, but I don't think that exists outside of protos, and the project appears to be dead.
But yes, 1.75u space is cancer.

I would also drop the 3u as I don’t know what uses that. Further, I would add a second 2u spacebar because  the 2x2u layout on ortho is fairly popular.
Equinox and some 60% boards use 3u, but they need two of them. Agreed on 2× 2u.

It's good to know that you communicated these concerns to EPBT/Wei in advance and that you will be getting samples. Hopefully at least one for each color pair?

Some thoughts on the current kitting and legend choices:

What he said
I fully agree with single line caps, and no sublegends on numpad. Everything looks so much cleaner that way and better fits the aesthetics of icon only mods.

  • R1 End and PgDn can be moved from base to the numpad kit. These keys are only used on 1800/CP/96-key boards and only when paired together with a numpad.


Makes sense yes

  • I think you should remove stepped 1.75u Control from the base and rainbow kits. It isn't that common, and if someone really wants to have stepped Control, they can use the key: the down arrow icon is fairly generic (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106725.msg2948865#msg2948865) anyway.

Well... Say this to people asking for "command" legend :D . If it was me i'd just leave the arrow, no strong opinion on it.

  • I would like to see regular | replace broken bar ¦ as the main pipe legend. This will also make the set consistent with how the intl kits are currently set up.

Already fixed in my templates since the last feedback, the only broken bar is in ISO Uk kit

  • That rainbow kit is really cool! A dark yellow R4 1u Fn key will need to be added, though (to pair with the dark yellow 1.75u Shift).
.

Was a miss in renders

  • The 40s kit is definitely bloated, as DrHigsby said.

Would only drop accent colors so. Maybe just leave the accent for esc/enter key


I think the Pause, PrtSc, ScrLk and NumLk keys would look better if they used single-line “Pause”, “Print”, “Scroll” and “Num” legends, respectively. This change would make all of the text legends in the set consistently single-line.
I suggest removing sublegends on the numpad keys, again for aesthetics and visual consistency.

Makes sense, will realign those legends yup

I suggest dropping 1.75u space from the spacebars kit and replacing it with a second 3u space and a 1u space (useful for Alice boards and 3u+1u+3u split spacebars).

After digging through several discussions seem more reasonnable yes.

Thanks for all your feedbacks, really appreciate. For now i'm waiting for the samples and all the feedbacks to finish up the templates before doing another round of renders.

So quick summary:

Quote
It's good to know that you communicated these concerns to EPBT/Wei in advance and that you will be getting samples. Hopefully at least one for each color pair?

Yes, just realized i don't have the tab/pipe accent in my order of samples, only the base kit version. Once i got those, be sure i'll post pictures.

Regarding the time frame of the potential GB, i don't think about it untill i got the samples to check if this is possible with ePbt. When i have an idea i'll post it.

One thing to note is that this would require full 5-sided dyesub rather than just reversed dyesub due do all the different coloured legends.
With epbt teasing their WoB with red hiragana set, it seems that this will be possible pretty soon but rather than comparing the sharpness of the legends to kuro/shiro and royal alpha, that hiragana set will be the real litmus test.

Perfect set, but why did You removed 1U shift from base and "be the rainbow" kits?
Is there any chance to have r4 "delete" key as well? Maybe its possible to have additional set for GK64/minila layout?
and maybe there is a chance to have a cyrillic set?

There are 1u Shifts in the 40s kit. Might be worth moving one of them to base, though. You can use R4 1u Code for the Delete.

As for Minila, that board is already covered by the 40s kit (R1 1u Backspace, R4 1.75u Lock, R4 1u Shift) and base (two R4 1.25u keys, two R4 1u keys).

Sure I can, but from aesthetics point of view I just prefer either blank keycaps, or with actual legends. newer mind.
And IMO its strange to remove 1U shifts from rainbow / mono sets, but leave 2U shifts there. In most cases if You use 2U shift, You need 1U as well. With the same color/accent. Sure its possible to use one from 40s kits, but it ruins perfect look.

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but based on the positive feedback I am seeing on the mono kit, is it possible to do one of the following?

1) Offer a completely full-mono base kit?
2) Offer an alphas-only kit. This would allow users who purchase the core base kit and mono mods to pick up a second set of alphas to get more mileage from their base kit.

I also have a question. On the navigator kit, do the green keys have black legends or blue legends? They look black to me, but I cannot be certain. Any consideration to make the legends the blue color instead?

Thanks for your consideration  :cool:

Any chance you'd consider putting the green legend on any other key instead? Cause in HHKB the colors are pretty red/yellow-ish

Red appears on 3 rows. Two shades of yellow appears twice. Red, brown, yellow and purple they all look kinda similar.

Caveats of using Super instead of Alt: it wouldn't be the correct legends for people who aren't on Mac, and it still doesn't fix the issue of the set not having enough green in this case (which I agree that it doesn't).

Perhaps it would be reasonable to make the R3 1.75u Control key green instead? I believe this would be a satisfactory solution for everyone.

That keyboard is fully programmable, so you can assign that key to whatever you like. Most people use 1.5u Alt, not Fn, on layouts like that.

Why choose ePbt? Because the MOQ policy is way more flexible for child kits with less popularity like FR/BE/Norde/dvorak and so on. This set without this compatibility makes no real sense to me as i mainly made it for people not being able to get for example GMK Oblivion / Nord which are in the same tones / theme.

Another reason for this set -> PBT instead of ABS. I don't feel comfortable sinking more money into ABS sets until someone figures out a way to prevent shine.

Also, I know this is probably waaaay too late zekth, so feel free to disregard this, but I do love the way that the classic GMK legends were fixed in KAT Refined, to make them sharper and more legible. If that were possible for this, even in a R2, it would be legit.

read again, it's not about PBT or ABS, it's about that ePBT is producing it. Inifikey has proven that they have mastered reverse dyesub perfectly (e.g. pbt hive).

Inifikey has proven that they have mastered reverse dyesub perfectly (e.g. pbt hive).
Legends were crisp but the color matching was off... It was supposed to be dark blueish gray and they were just as black like my other black pbt keycaps. I was able to sell them with profit luckily.

after checking this, yea you're right. the reverse dyesub and legends were good but the color matching was off. that's a big off if you want blueisch/gray keycaps and get black ones...

I am very tempted to join this: The set has nice colors, the material is shine-proof, and the vendors (KBDFans) have very competitive shipping costs. Above all, it includes a Nord set. Just hoping for a proper edition of some of the legends that have always being off the actual OG reference.

if people interested in other language i'm willing to add those if enough people interested in.
If cyrillic with R3:Tilde/GraveAccent/Ё, count me in.
If arabic with R3:Tilde/GraveAccent/ذ, count me in.
I assume the R4:Pipe/Backslash will be available through UK-ISO.

Not a deal breaker at all, but could it be possible to have Alt Gr keys?

i've thought about it yes but the issue is it will add too much keys in Base / Rainbow / Mono kits :/ sorry

A base version could find its place in the baguette kit a least ? It is so rare to see iso fr, i am pretty sure that we could be comfortable to pay a little extra and get a complete kit.

Little heads up on some minor fixes i was working on. Some legends in ePbt templates are off regarding the OG Cherry ones. I've fixed them without making a huge aesthetic change, because making them as similar as OG Cherry would break alignments of all the legends.
See:
(https://i.imgur.com/2RdSMvM.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/d1tzDkr.png)

Those are the ones (with alternatives keys in NORDE kit) which were problematic. I managed to get a Cherry DS QWERTZ to compare alignment and legends. If someone see something off feel free to let me know.

Regarding samples, those were supposed to be shipped this week. Still waiting  :-X

It's better than the purse but I'm a traditionalist and I'm used to having icons only on backspace, enter, tab and shift. Caps Lock, Control, Alt, Alt Gr - text.

But throw in a row 3 stepped Control or FN and I'd be even happier :)

I was a bit worried about the purple on dark gray and it looks really nice to me. Next step is finishing the kitting, and waiting from ePbt inputs on possibility to have all colors as samples.

Currently the possible target of the GB is end of February, this has to be confirmed so don't take it for granted.

Both the ! And 1 are left aligned and spaced from the edge by the same amount. It can just look a little odd because the 1 is slightly wider. Take a closer look at your favorite GMK set and you'll notice the same thing. Unless its a set with sublegends, those legends are actually completely different from standard GMK legends.

Here's a comparison with GMK Tokyo Nights, the two orange lines are the same length (difference in perspective causes the overal keycap to differ in size I suppose). ePBT 9009 shows similar results. Not very scientific but that's the best I could pull off.

Indeed, the samples i received were totally inconsistent in term of alignment and i'm working on it with ePbt, i already submitted a review on this. But i assume as those were protos for the colors and not the set itself the QC was not done properly.

Ive spent tremendous hours fixing those templates with nu_types and biip; so be sure im definitely keeping an eye on it.

Fair enough. 6.25U added

Hi, very nice set!
keycaps <Alt Gr> with white/mono legends are missing

Thing is the Alt Gr keys are used only in INTL layouts. One Thing would be to add 1.5U and 1.25U Mono keys to the INTL kits. I have no strong opinion on this, but as the Rainbow and Mono kits are already filled up i don't feel good to add more keys in there.

This is looking great.  Nice to see ePBT stepping up their reverse dye-sub game.  I've been super impressed with xGOK BOW and have been hoping for some light on dark options.

On the Italian set, the R3 keycap for the “ç” and the “ò” should also have the “@“ legend on it that you get by pressing AltGr

Thanks i fixed it!

Is hiragana sublegends possible for this set? I would definitely buy with cyrillic ones along!  :thumb:

I had some demands for this too. I'll try to work on it.

Why choose ePbt? Because the MOQ policy is way more flexible for child kits with less popularity like FR/BE/Norde/dvorak and so on. This set without this compatibility makes no real sense to me as i mainly made it for people not being able to get for example GMK Oblivion / Nord which are in the same tones / theme.

Another reason for this set -> PBT instead of ABS. I don't feel comfortable sinking more money into ABS sets until someone figures out a way to prevent shine.

Also, I know this is probably waaaay too late zekth, so feel free to disregard this, but I do love the way that the classic GMK legends were fixed in KAT Refined, to make them sharper and more legible. If that were possible for this, even in a R2, it would be legit.

read again, it's not about PBT or ABS, it's about that ePBT is producing it. Inifikey has proven that they have mastered reverse dyesub perfectly (e.g. pbt hive).

Read again, he said that the set makes no sense since he made it for people who couldn't get a GMK set, when this isn't the real issue, the real issue is not wanting a GMK set.

Good pricing!

Is the price difference between Rainbow and Mono mods due to reverse dyed?

What are the MoQs?


The Rainbow has three extra caps—and it is cheaper.

I'm in, my first group buy too.

Just to make sure I'm not being stupid, the base kit will be compatible with my KBD75 ISO right? I also added Be the pudding for UK caps.

Regarding the price difference i don't know. The MOQ is 200 for the base kit and not MOQ for the child kits

Indeed :)

Hey there !

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BAGUETTE KIT ! (I jumped on it as I saw it was available). I like the simple but colored aesthetic... but that language kit was the definitive blow ;)
If by any chane you have an estimated date for the delivery, that would be great... if not, I'll be patient ;)

Yeah, me too, the french kits are so rare. Happy to see a good one with this language. My only complain will be to not have pledge sooner : couldn't buy the rainbow. :)

I just registered to the forum.

I like this set very much and have already ordered via candykeys. It's very difficult to find UK ISO layouts these dyas it seems. Looking forward to receiving it! Any rough idea on deliveries ?

Really great looking kit! :eek:
Any chances there are some base kits left / not distributed / extras?
I ordered the Belgian kit extension (Be The Waffle) and the Mono's but the base kits were sold out when I arrived...
It seems super rare to have a Belgian kit so I'd really appreciate the Base kit to have it full (and maybe "Be The Rainbow" if also possible but please the base kit for a unique Belgian full set)? :D
Thanks in advance! :-*
