ePBT Ducklight is a brand new keycap set, with a dark duck theme. We have been working hard on it, and hope you will consider ePBT Ducklight.
Why ePBT instead of ***?
We have decided to go with ePBT to do something because of the oversaturation of GMK and KAT sets running right now. We also believe that PBT is a superior plastic to use for most use cases.

I like the colours. Would like to see non-accented spacebars, arrows, return and esc. I know that’s a lot of extra caps but picking which accents to use or not is half the fun.+1
This has been brought to you by the alpha-coloured spacebar gang.

Great idea with the arrow keys haha

Also, seconding alpha coloured spacebars.

Like the idea - would appreciate ISO UK being added (the '@ and #~ are already in the kit, but bizarrely no 1.25u shift, r1 \|, iso enter - and full ISO UK would also need r4 `¬ 2" 3£).
Also, seconding alpha coloured spacebars.
FIIIIIIINNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE

This looks like it will require reverse dye sub. Has ePBT confirmed they are willing to do this? Hive was originally ePBT but had to change vendors due to this.KBDfans said they would be able to do it.

I might just be blind, but is there a 1.25u key for the "ASDF" row in either of the kits (besides the enter keys)? Lots of 40% use that keyThere should be one on 40% kit R3.

So EPBT is doing reverse dye-sub for the first time, and 40% keys for the first time? They have historically resisted doing both of these for years. It's ambitious and would open up a lot of new options for keyset designers if it works out. Good luck.Yeah we will see how it works out!

I like the set, but what is a "dark duck" theme exactly?[/list]

Duck theme but in dark mode. Not any satanic ducks don't worry. XD

correct me if i'm wrong but on the 40s kit image, the tab key looks like it's row4?

Deskmat please, I really consider joining, I wanted some honk but abs ain't for me.Its PBT! We haven't had much requests for deskmats, but we will consider it!
I'm so tired of yellow accents =(Hopefully we can do a non-yellow set soon!

This is so silly, and I love it! The colors are nice too. I don't think I'll be joining in on this one though, as it's just not quite up my alley, but good luck!:p its okay!

Can we have a base kit without the numpad?That will probably not happen, it just makes more sense with it in there.

Could all the spacebars be moved into one spacebar kit?That would bring up the price/MoQ

Even just taking spacebars out of the 40s kit and putting them in the spacebar kit? My understanding was that epbt doesnt have moq for child kits and pricing should be the same since its not adding keys.

But this is probably better; looks good!
Post by: stoffelduss on Fri, 27 March 2020, 09:52:59
Spotting two and a half errors: Base contains R3 +, but no R2 -. Also, the plus is _massive_ (that's the half an error, maybe it's just an issue with the rendering).
And: The comma key in the international kit doesn't contain a comma, just a semicolon. If you wanna make the international kit support very complete, you could add AltGr and a numpad comma, but I guess those are not the most important keys.

I don't understand the benefit of removing space bars from the 40% kit. Some 40% layouts don't need the space bars kit. Why should people have to buy more kits they don't need?
Post by: JJ48_24 on Sat, 28 March 2020, 17:14:44
Oh cool a Colevrak kit! Can you add a closing bracket key (]) to R3? Then I'm buying a set!

Thanks for the feedback! These issues will be addressed in the next round of revisions.
