Has 9009 shipped yet?
Thanks for making new EnjoyPBT sets.This idea has been tossed up before and I have discussed this with kbdfans.
But seriously, wei, please PLEASE consider EnjoyPBT Muted. That set was made for dye-sub PBT and I can't believe nobody has worked on that yet.

Enjoypbt 9009 was a success and I don't doubt that a Enjoypbt Muted would be as well but there are a few things to consider.
1. KP republic already have a gray dye-subbed pbt set with a very similar tone to the base set of muted.
2. since there are many enjoypbt sets to choose from now, exploring accent kits instead of full kits seems like a worthwhile idea and opens the possibilities up to more variations for the accent colours.
If that is the case, what do you think about a neutral base set and separate accents?Thanks for making new EnjoyPBT sets.This idea has been tossed up before and I have discussed this with kbdfans.

1. I have both the beige EnjoyPBT set and KB Republic's gray+red Japanese set. The printing on KB Republic's one is not as crisp.
2. These recent EnjoyPBT batches from KBDFans have very nice icon mods.
But yeah, no pressure here. Just wishful thinking honestly 🙂

It might cost more in total for the buyer but provides much more flexibility as well.
Thanks for the info. Might be in for a set of 9009.Has 9009 shipped yet?
Hi
R1 order shipping end of this month,R2 order Shipments in mid June ;D
I think the idea of accent keys kits would be incredibly popular tbh, Muted accents in particular and maybe 9009 (but there's a full set for those atm and I dunno if it'll ever get split as an individual set.If that is the case, what do you think about a neutral base set and separate accents?Thanks for making new EnjoyPBT sets.This idea has been tossed up before and I have discussed this with kbdfans.

You mean similar to how GMK Muted did it? Yeah I'm sure many would be OK with that.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/zrH7jfq.jpg)
The only reason I'm not buying this is because it doesn't appear to have a 6u center-stem spacebar.Enjoypbt only have off centre 6u I'm afraid.
Would anyone happen to know if these are lighter/darker than GMK's CP or WS1?
I like this idea, but wouldn't a new base set need to be made? Isn't the current GB for a uniform white color (both mods and alphas)? Alternatively the accent kits and slightly darker grey mods could be sold to get that muted effect?If that is the case, what do you think about a neutral base set and separate accents?Thanks for making new EnjoyPBT sets.This idea has been tossed up before and I have discussed this with kbdfans.

The idea is that the accent kit would be sold totally separately and you could use it with BoW or possibly a future set based on Muted.Decisions decisions decisions. Do I buy BoW now to use with possibly future accent kits, or do I hold out for a possible kit based on muted to be paired with possible accent kits in the future. Scenario 1 has only 1 uncertainty whereas scenario 2 has 2 uncertainties but it contains the set based on muted, which is what I want. Hmmm, first world problems, am I right?

Can't wait :D
Please also make sure the Backspace arrow is big enough, unlike with epbt 9009

I think the intention is to use the X for backspace and not the arrow however it's a little inconclusive as the layout differs from the renders.

One thing at a time. We are waiting for samples to be made of accents that would fit BoW and a future set.Thanks for making new EnjoyPBT sets.

This x1000. It's literally a free cash grab. I'd buy like 2 or 3 sets of it if it ever actually dropped. pbt>abs nearly every time.

I think ePBT Muted is in hiatus as Wei reached out to Jchan to get his "permission" but it sounds like that fell through...I wont mind using this with the accents but first... needa find some accents
Any extra o round 2 in the future? I miss that :confused:There will be but will probably delay it to see what the feedback is from the first round.
KMK Labs.
Nice! I am very glad this is happening.
This will be stocked on the site afterwards, correct?
Shame it is too late to join :/There should be extras and there will be another round later.
I've already made some adjustments for the kerning but there is a difference between the nav cluster and the bottom rows.Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=95774.0;attach=201275;image)
The legends are looking pretty good. I've noticed just two things that can be improved:[/list]
- The tittle (dot) is missing on the i in 1.5u Function
- The Delete, End and Enter legends are ever so slightly thicker / more tightly kerned than the other text legends.
Nice! I am very glad this is happening.

Once everything has settled down and I am sure that there will be no more revisions to the set, I'll ask KBDfans if they want to keep it as a stock item.
I have always wondered why, instead of cramming the word "Delete" and "Insert" on a keycap, do manufacterers not just use "Ins" and "Del" ? I guess a lot of people wouldn't like it that way, but it makes more sense to me. Not really asking it to be changed here, but just wondering if it has been tried somewhere and already rejected as dumb.I think there is a preference towards having the full word

Looks great.
I'm assuming the picture has a typo. Row profiles are 443211? (picture is 442211)
Looks good and price was great, any chance you guys will consider doing another batch of these? I'd also prefer the down arrow for caps lock, but then again I'd prefer full text and no icons on my sets as well.There will certainly be another batch. We will get the first round out and see what people think.
We have a few other projects that we are waiting on samples before we reveal them so stay tuned!
With regards to the down arrow, I think as a legend it doesn't make sense. I'd rather use the icon I made for epbt slate which was inspired by android keyboards.I agree, I think the Caps Lock legend looks great as is. The same goes for the entire set. Good work!
UPDATE: KBDfans have estimated that they will ship the sets out by the end of the month based on the timelines provided by the manufacturer.Can't wait! Hope everything goes according to schedule.
I'll keep you guys updated if anything changes.

we still on track?
Woo thanks for the updates. Can't wait for this set. If I recently moved, who should i contact about updating shipping address?
Got shipping notification on 31st, and arrived today.Very nice. Mine is still stuck in Shanghai haha
Looks really nice! Will get some pics tonight hopefully.
Mine arrived today (east coast USA). Looks good, color is really good - a very, very light gray that is essentially neutral off white that will match anything except if beige is required. Legends look sharper than what I have seen from older kbrepublic dye sub sets. Can't really compare to other EnjoyPBT sets since this is my first set from them. Good GB.
Gray? :(
Gray? :(
Sorry to scare anyone ... color can be subjective. I am just posting what i see, not really what you may see. It is not "storm trooper" blow-your-eyes-out bright white. It is more subdued white, if that makes sense.
Got my set. Everything looks great...That is pretty much all you can do but the issue is if they are warped inconsistently or in more than one direction.
That being said, all of my space bars are warped to some degree. But no worries, the 3u keys that are used on almost no keyboards are A-OK :-X!
Are people just heating up their keys with hair dryer and putting heavy stuff on top to straighten them out?

This is again pretty bad lighting but it shows 3 shades next to each other. I'd say color isn't as white as renders but definitely acceptable and fits what was ordered. BoW, Varmilo white, Enjoypbt beigeThis already looks pretty white which is good as the other photo made it look extremely off-white.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/TKzf1g1.jpg)
Set also included 2 2.25 shifts which was nice for 66 key layouts I like to use as it wasn't shown in render

Would be good if we got free replacements
My 7u spacebar is somewhat warped. I would trade my 6.5 u spacebar for a good 7uYes, these will be free replacements but as with epbt 9009, the replacement keys will be sent out with your next order because sending via something like e packet without tracking gets lost easily, so I am told.I have my hopes up. Glad that (once again) I'm not in the first round ;DNext batch means the next batch of R1 orders that are left to be fulfilled, not R2.
So, whenever I order something the next time I'll get some actually usable spacebars with that order automatically? Or do I have to mention it in the comments or something?I wouldn't take the chance so I'd mention it to be sure. That's what I did for the replacement backspace for 9009.
If my order is still unfulfilled, will I receive a fixed spacebar or a potentially warped one?So, whenever I order something the next time I'll get some actually usable spacebars with that order automatically?

Other factors are camera replication of colours and settings.
The actual colours will be exactly the same because they were manufactured in the same batch. As mentioned previously, this is why I provide colour references so that even when the colours aren't accurate on screen, you can get an idea of where it sits relative to things that you may be able to refer to.
Did you guys get a shipping notification? I haven't received mine yet.
My set was sent today (base + international kit). I hope it includes the fixed keycaps. :)
So for us first rounders, we just order something and in the comments mention to also send corrected spacebars?
Ok so I got my set this morning. Here's a brief review/impressions. I'm not too experienced in the keyboard world - so take my words with a grain of salt.
First the good stuff:
- The keycaps themselves appear to be very good quality material wise (as is expected from ePBT).
- Legend quality seems to be good.
The bad stuff (see picture below for reference):
- The colour is not as white as I'd hoped. It's more of a light grey - I imagine it's similar to the alphas of GMK Muted (although I've never owned a set).
- Colour uniformity is quite variable in my opinion. In the photo I've attached, 'M' , 'Del', 'Pg Dn' are a tad bit whiter than some of the other 1u keys, and a lot whiter than the space bars. This isn't just how it looks in this picture/with this lighting. Quite disappointing.
- Packaging is poor - just a battered up plain cardboard box wrapped in bubble wrap (as is expected from ePBT).
So, in summary:
Considering the price - these cost ~80 USD if I remember correctly - I'd recommend them to people on a budget who don't want to pay the extra cash for a GMK set, or don't want to buy a GMK set for whatever other reason. I've never owned a GMK set (Modern Dolch is the first I've ordered), but I imagine you get what you pay for. From my experience with this set and previous ePBT sets (blanks), it seems that with ePBT you get bad packaging and less than ideal colour uniformity.
However, if you are like me and you'd rather spend a little bit extra for quality, I'd recommend you consider looking at alternatives. For people with high-end keyboards that want perfect-quality sets, this probably isn't for you. I decided to make the jump from the budget end of the hobby (my only keyboard is a Pok3r) to the "endgame" (Moon RAMA M60-A on the way), and I hoped that ePBT BoW would become my go-to classic white set for my M60-A - much like what I imagine GMK Stormtrooper to be (again, never owned a set). I think it probably won't be :(
If anybody is interested, my future keyboard plans are to sell my Pok3r once my M60-A arrives and be done with buying keyboards. I'll continue to experiment with keycaps, but I'll try and wait until GMK Modern Dolch arrives so that I can definitively decide whether to look to GMK or ePBT for my future purchases.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/V4qTc3z.jpg)
Very good points. I will make sure to bring up the issue of colour consistency. Regarding the colour though, attached is a comparison between GMK stormtrooper and Epbt BoW
The colour balance is off but I think that GMK stormtrooper is even less white. The alphas of GMK Monochrome will be whiter than epbt BoW though.
Got my set in today. 6.25 space bar doesn't fit on a novatouch due to the spacing of the stems and the stabilizer housings on the novatouch. Other than that the set looks sweet.

I pretty much respectfully disagree with the majority of your post.
If you compare ePBT BoW to any other cherry profile BoW set on the market (GMK Stormtrooper, Pristine, JTK Stormtrooper) ePBT is undeniably the "whitest" so I think it's unfair to insinuate that it is below standard. Additionally, it's PBT unlike the others which are ABS which is a big selling factor for some folks... from a durability standpoint in addition to a "yellowing" standpoint which ABS will inherently do over time at a much faster rate than PBT and it is more dramatic with a white.
My sets uniformity is completely consistent from a color standpoint and I would argue that as a white it's more likely to show dirt.
The packaging isn't the greatest but it also isn't the worst. Most ePBT sets come in a foam tray and these just came in a box- however the cost of these was very competitive compared to other ePBT sets (you get 159 keys!) and none of mine arrived damaged. As a packaging professional, this seems more than adequate compared to other solutions of simply just getting them in bags in a bubble mailer.
I got rid of my BoW sets in anticipation of this and I'm happy for it- this is IMO hands down the best option on the market for a BoW set when balancing quality and cost.
Thanks again to KBDfans and gok101 for making this a reality.

That's a common "issue" between ePBT and Novatouches... you can simply trim off the extra stem slot on the spacebar w/ some clippers and it'll work fine. I've done this before and I didn't have issues using said spacebar on a different keyboard either but I guess YMMV.
I got my set and all 3 spacebars are warped beyond usability. This is a surprise considering the delay to fix the spacebars.If the spacebars are unusable, it's not fulfilling its function so I'd contact KBDfans about it.
I thought I was part of the second batch with good spacebars, what happened?

Hello there,
I finally received my set. I am really liking the colorway and quality of the set.
I wasn't saved from having a warped spacebar but will comment on my next request on the kbdfans site. I wasn't going to post anything here but when I double checked something that seemed wrong, I kinda had to.
(Attachment Link) (Attachment Link)
I'm sorry about the photo quality, just took them with my phone.
Anybody else got a 'u' key with wrong row profile? :))
Loved the set anyway ;)
I received my set today as well. I laid out all of the keys so I can see if I'm missing any keys and I noticed some nice differences.
The R3 PgDn key was missing, but I don't need a 2nd R3 PgDn. Good news is that I got a 2nd 2.25u shift if I ever get a FC660M.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/6fPD2Jg.jpg)
I got 2x1.25u and 2x1u Super keys. I rather use these than the diamond icons.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/NDi4I5r.jpg)
/ and * on the numpad got changed.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/wrmSkmf.jpg)
1.5u Fn key is now Function spelled out.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/zBJ4sxb.jpg)
So far I love the set!
There was an update and reconfirmation of the keys. The extra R3 PgDn was redundant and was a mistake so that was removed. The extra Super keys were added really late but I thought it was a good idea as it allows for a full text bottom row which is preference for many. I'm glad you like the set!I love all the choices you made! Thank you!

I just realised, after receiving my set, that the Colevrak kit is missing the = key for Dvorak. Is there any chance of a fix? I should've spotted this before ordering :-XIs 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.
Might have been mentioned already, but does R2 fix the spacebar warping?I have heard that it is better but to be honest, it is still not free of issues from what I've heard from people that were in the second batch.

Does any one who ordered the international kit have any missing keycaps? This one is missing for me:Laid out my caps and realized I missed a lot of caps, before I realized I had them on my board... including the one you are missing.Show Image(https://imgur.com/79OroXS.png)
