*homing are bar+scoop hybrid for F and J, regular bar for Numpad 5, don't ask me why I don't know.



You may recognize this set if you remember imsto, who used to sell these. These aren't the exact same caps as it's a different factory but I've done my best to color match them.

Comparison left to right: original imsto used daily for 7 years, original imsto stored in a box for 7 years, new epbt set

You can mix and match with other blanks!

I would really love to pre-order these in NA, I know mk.com does this for some keyboards, any chance they might do it for this set?

I'm not sure if the other vendors will be doing pre-orders.

I'm hoping it won't be that long of a wait anyway. USA will have plenty of stock but I'm unsure of their pricing because of the whole trading with China thing going on.

So the homing keys are bar+scoop instead of just barred? A bit sad, but it doesn't really ruin the set either.

unfortunately yes, I think cuz they have templates for manufacturing? I was told they wouldn't do just bars.

You can buy 2 sets if you want flat bars (the numpad 5 comes with a flat bar for some reason.......)

Will these be listed as Gateron or EnjoyPBT on Mechanicalkeyboards.com? And will you post the store listing when it's confirmed to be stock? That site can be hard to navigate.

This is my first ebpt set and I'm loving it so far. The space bar was a bit warped, but I should be able to fix that with some hot water. I'll definitely be picking up another set whenever MK lists it for sale.
