No accents. Stick with the concept.

love pbt dyu-sub
keyset looks really coooool

Nice thing is that quality of epbt has gone up with recent sets, let's hope price does not

Agree

Recently they're making really good quality stuff!
I just want epbt to be careful about the spacebar being bent.

Forgot to put it in the interest check, how would feel about adding a R4 * and / to the nomad kit to have a full 4x4 numpad for people who own things like roadkits?

Whoa! This set looks amazing.

Pardon me for my ignorance, but is there any perks to doing a set with ePBT rather than GMK? I am wondering because lately I have bought a full set of topre 9009 from ePBT, and even tho they looked amazing and were thick, the plastic mixture used for the caps produced a really high pitch sound and felt cheap compared to the sound of standard Topre caps, Leopold Caps or OG cherrys, GMK, etc..

I was let down and I'm surprised to see many people doing runs for high end caps through them. Does that mean that only this topre 9009 was a bit of a let down and their GB productions are great?

Thanks!

Indeed. Many consider PBT material higher quality than ABS (what GMK and JTK use), because it is harder, more explicit texture for the finger tips, takes much much longer for the caps to become shiny and losing the texture, and doesn't yellow over [let's say twenty years].. BUT: sound is indeed sub par or higher pitched or just sounds cheap!!! My opinion, but I am considering to move mostly back to ABS.. (typing on Heavy Industry at the moment which I don't know if it his from ePBT but is PBT material and is super beautiful [the white alphas look perfect to me {together with GMK WS1 my favorite whites}] and good feel but not so great sound - I am waiting for their GMK run now:)..

So I don't think your intuition failed you.. unfortunately.

leece3 · « **Reply #107 on:** Sun, 10 March 2019, 04:49:30 »

I know, in theory white is not a color, but in practice it very much is. And I have eyes, but the most important question to me: what is the white color used?!!! Could not find any specifics outside the images..

I like monochrome sets especially in white, but I just received Heavy Industries and Slate is still in the mail, both PBT.. so maybe GMK Minimal for me first..

We believe the white color has to be decided on, EPBT said mid-April would be great and after GB closure there is a 45 day lead time. The issue is that kuro-shiro is on very soon, so it would make sense for it to be after

Not sure of the feasibility of this, but one of those Rama caps with enamel filling he's been doing recently would look really nice with this set. I'm imagining a rainbow enamel fill or maybe a "hello" cap.

Great set btw! Count me in for one.

Hey!

After putting this design on hold for a while I finally present you EPBT Extended 2048!
Heavily inspired by the AEKII, the main idea was to create an icon based keyset with a neo-retro look, inspired by old Apple keyboards. I wanted to have something with a minimalistic but intuitive look, which explains the icons mods!

I took time to re-think the kits, get rid of the useless stuff and basically made it simpler.
This looks really good for a professional looking keyboard. I love the macro keys.
The original IC can be found here

Group Buy should start end march through KBDFans and CandyKeys (For EU only).
Pricing will come really soon!

I'm also actually working on a prototype.

I'd make the '/" 1.5u key horizontal (R3) rather than vertical. Also the ergodox thumb cluster would need eight 1u keys total. R3 home/end & pgup/pgdn seem like fairly universal choices for 1u thumb cluster keys.

How about add on Spacebar 2.75u C and that will be great for any split keyboard. Especially with my TGR Alice with left space 2u C and right space 2.75u C as well.
