"Can you support x layout?"
Probably not, man.
Oh well. How hard would it be to convince gateron to make an ergodox mods kit with the correct row profile 1.5u keys? As far as I'm aware it doesn't exist in PBT.
It's not hard to convince them, it's that molds are expensive and I sure as hell can't afford to have one made.
Looks great, will most likely be in. Does gateron/epbt make windowed keys?
tell me more about elzy chan

I know this is besides the point but as said above, at the price point that is estimated, it's so cheap that I'd love to see some other colours offered either alongside it or at some other time - at least black and white, been a really long time since anyone ran PBT blanks and I'd love to see it be more of a thing again.
In for blue regardless of course, it's a very nice shade.
if we could get white blanks like these, would be nice too. white riot

definitely interested in multiple sets hopefully we can do gb
I love the look of blanks. But I can't touch type. I wonder what the mods would look like on 9009.

Now's the time to learn.

There is a ghost white set that floats around other sites.
Gateron PBT is common, blue is not.
Bright white/white/black/dark gray/red and some other colors already exist (just check mk.com, kbdfans, etc). This blue hasn't been made in a very long time to my knowledge which is my goal. Maybe I'll do other wild color combinations in the future.
or do a poll with some color combinations or full single color set to have a stat on what colors we would like to see BESIDES blue
maybe add a secondary kit with whites like this. so that we can pair it with the blue as modsShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/nQaaFIR.png)

Is this pretty much the same as the epbt blanks?
Info:
- Gateron (same company that makes enjoyPBT's caps and Zealio switches!!1!)
So, if you aren't gonna do a GB, how can I snag a set? Are any vendors stocking this?
Currently discussing with a US vendor who is interested in stocking them for sale.
I'm gonna be asking for that color sample update this weekend and hopefully things will go forward from there.
Color samples are on their way to me!

I'm really not sure where else you think they're coming from.
Bad news guys, I just got the samples package but they turned out to be the completely wrong caps. I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding but I'm trying to sort that out now. Unfortunately means things are delayed indefinitely but I am working on it.

Why would it be delayed indefinitely?

indefinitely as in, unspecified period of time. idk when things will move again. bad wording on my part, i mean to say delayed for the time being.
update, apparently it won't be the gateron factory (who as far as I'm aware did imsto's originals) and will be done by epbt (who i was told, got their caps from gateron).
I'm going to be sending one of my originals to get color matched so this process may take a bit but things are moving.

Remember the Hangul dye-sub on these caps?Show Image(http://imsto.cn/image/cache/data/105bluehangul-500x500.jpg)
One of the nicest keycap sets I've ever seen. I'd definitely go for that.

wait for me to color match with epbtLegend
contact epbt to use this blue
i'm literally just here getting the color made again you guys are free to do whatever you want with it afterwards
Any chance for barred home keys instead/in addition to the barred + scooped keys?
I think they were used for Kuro/Shiro and 2048Any chance for barred home keys instead/in addition to the barred + scooped keys?
i didn't even know this was a thing, i'd prefer it to just be regular bars too (as the original set is)
You mean, a GB round 2 is starting?

No, they tried to match a color sample, but they failed. This is the second round of said matching process.
Really, you think imsto was better? I thought ePbt had advanced since what was happening back then.Remember the Hangul dye-sub on these caps?Show Image(http://imsto.cn/image/cache/data/105bluehangul-500x500.jpg)

yea this is just gonna be too hard to replicate, epbt dyesubbing isn't exactly imsto level.
i'm here to do blanks, if someone else wants to order more of them once they're resurrected and make hangul sets, feel free!

Oh awesome, Sifo! I'm excited for this :D
Would you also have any pictures of your imsto set that show its shine?

I'd be in for this in a heartbeat as well. I remember almost ordering this set when I first got into the hobby, but never did. Seeing IMSTO went the way of the Dodo I wish I would've now.... Oh well, hindsight's 20/20 right? I doubt Sifo would be interesting in running this with any type of legends, but if ePBT gets the color right anyone could run an IC for the Hangul version.

comparison left to right: original imsto used daily for 7 years, original imsto stored in a box for 7 years, new epbt setShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/EP6iXud.png)
The 6.25u spacebar did come a little bit warped but that's to be expected.
The homing keys are scoop/bar hybrids, I have requested that they all be bar-only. I've also inquired about adding the ISO enter.
The texture is pretty much identical. Sound is a little bit different, a bit higher pitched where as the imsto ones are a bit more muted.
Soonnnnnnn
+3 for scoops... any idea on timeline/vendors yet?

Any chance for eu proxies? If not I'd be looking at paying easily 40+ for shipping and handling fees / import tax which doesn't sound very exciting.

not this time around but feel free to contact your favourite keycap vendor and ask them to stock these. They can get them directly from the manufacturer or through kbdfans. I'm just here to make sure the color is right.

we've run into a slight hiccup, MOQ has been raised to 200 and I am trying to find a proxy so that Mk.com doesn't have to broker the import. working on it
waiting for invoice to start production.
ISO is confirmed, and it'll have the scoop/bar hybrid abomination of a homing key but whatever. You can buy 2 sets if you want flat bars (the numpad 5 comes with a flat bar for some reason.......)
MechanicalKeyboards.com, MyKeyboard.eu and ApexKeyboards.ca will be stocking these.
Pre-order goes live tomorrow for ApexKeyboards. Other regions gotta wait until they arrive.MoreElzy-chan says thanksShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/iCv6lW9.png)

they did not seem interested to stock any for themselves when I asked them to help me produce them.
Maybe they'll buy extras? Not sure.

Hmmm, I asked Sherry a few hours ago about these and she told me that they would be interested in selling these if you were ok with them.
So if I'm reading this correctly--and I live in the US--there would be 40 sets already available? I purchased this yesterday as soon as I saw it. Absolutely a must-buy, thanks for running this, been wanting it since I saw your vid :DD
