also, why forced accent space
This could use more work.
In regards to kitting, I like the numpad included, but there are lots of things you can cut to make it cheaper.
The reason for lacks of novs is in my mind at least, is to lower cost and not force customers to buy a cool looking key that they would otherwise not want to buy.
You can also split of uk iso support along with other stuff like accents and keys in general to other kits as Epbt's moq system allows for much more kits, keep the numpad though, I love numpad in base
Things you could do imo, remove double 0, num =, iso uk support, alternate tsangan keys and remove the r4 capslock.
It'll still give you a base that is pretty big and good for most people, but not having too much keys to increase cost
Uh is it just me or is the pic broken
also, why forced accent space
I'm considering putting the alpha colored space in base kit unless there is a separate space bar kit. Mainly have the forced accent space because that's how I envisioned it. There will definitely be some solution that allows people to get none off-colored space bars whether thats just to include it in the base or in another kit.This could use more work.

As for the kitting, I'm trying to see what is the most amount of keys I can fit in the base and my goal currently is to work directly with the manufacturer and see what costs would look like. Unless there is an overwhelming request for kits such as NorDe or 40's, I want to try to keep it as close to one large base kit at hopefully a cheaper cost.Uh is it just me or is the pic broken
Which pic is broken for you? I can try taking a look. It seems like others are able to see all the images.
I'm in the same boat, base kit is not showing up correctly for me, not sure why

you can’t be wrong when it’s just opinion... I found the colors similar, so I said it they were similar. I didn’t say cancel the entire set and it’s trash, it’s a decent set and I though I came across fine. I’m not going to stop comparing sets if they look similar to me, there is nothing wrong with comparing sets. If you read the rule, it doesn’t say you can’t compare sets.looks a bit like gmk Boulder

i never thought someone could be unironically wrong when comparing sets
speaking of comparing sets, stop doing it. you got a rule created already.

There's a difference between comparing sets that could or do look similar and comparing a TURQUOISE-BLUE set to a BEIGE-BROWN one, there is 0 similarities and I'm honestly astounded you found any, the only thing even remotely similar are the accents because they're shades of white, and then again ones are beige toned white and the other a blue toned white.
I see similarities between this and boulder too. both are dark, muted sets, and both are grayish. Just an opinion home slice.. and it's not like it matters either way.you can’t be wrong when it’s just opinion... I found the colors similar, so I said it they were similar.

okay i feel obligated to give feedback now because of how much of a "circus" (- ireris) this thread is
Currently the base kit has a lot of unnecessary keys, like 1u Code, an extra 1u Fn, extra 1u Ctrl, and is also missing keys, like good spacebars. Personally I would learn about which boards have which layouts and then visit sets from the same manufacturer to kit for those layouts. At minimum, this needs revising to include a spacebars kit (or god forbid a mega add-on kit).
so funny bro im dying rnlooks a bit like gmk Boulder

I agree! So many sets these days copying GMK Boulder. By the way, can anyone help me identify some sort of number in this picture?? My whole class got it right but i'm beginning to think it's some sort of inside joke :mad:Show Image(https://cdn-beaai.nitrocdn.com/DsHNrqyidSdrnEUwxpnDFmLjguAlTfrt/assets/static/optimized/rev-f639137/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ishihara-color-plate-test.jpg)

OOOOH lookin out for all the gloomy people! Thank you for making this, it looks really cool! Definitely interested.
ePBT strongly incentivizes breaking out kits since they are cheap and only the base kit needs to hit moq. I would advise you follow in the footsteps of previous sets so that you can maximize compatibility and still keep the base kit affordable.

I enjoy this! As others have noted, I would possibly look into splitting out the kitting

Oh god... I read that as "Sober" instead, and wanted nothing to with this.. GMK AA can go to hell!
Look pretty cool though, I like it.
Hi, I like your concept and theme! I have a few concerns.
At first I was going to comment mainly on the legibility of the alphas, but I was curious and pulled out my coated pantone book. Now, there are going to be slight differences due to monitor differences, but from what I see, 443C is completely different from your hex color, and both 2216C and 4165U are significantly darker and more saturated than what I'm seeing on my monitor. 443C is so far away to my eyes that it's beyond monitor differences imo. I am also concerned about you using both coated and uncoated with PBT plastic. I think this will lead to issues with colormatching with samples later down the road. While ePBT will work with coated pantones (I believe) uncoated pantone is highly recommended for PBT plastic. As a sidenote, this looks nothing like Boulder, idk what fishy is talking about.
There are kitting issues that others have pointed out, and you have a ways to go before you're ready for GB. However, I like your theme and colors (at least in the renders) and I think this set has a lot of potential. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want some help. GLWIC!

I don't think the one base kit is going to meet the goals you are wanting it to. It will be more expensive for people who don't need much compatibility, will make compat worse for the people who do need it, and won't be meaningfully faster to produce.

all this, besides looking like gmk boulder ;D
also, maybe have space bars match alphas? and any chance of adding top row “=“ to num pad? only asking bc i’m interested (otherwise i’d ignore). glwic :thumb:
The hex codes on pantone's site are not accurate. You will have to play around with them to get them closer to what you're seeing on the pantone swatch.
Fair enough. It also seems like people want the other kit options so I have updated the base kit and added new kits to accomodate.
