PBTfans Purpolch
In collaboration with KBDfans (https://kbdfans.com/)
This set was inspired by the classic Dolch colorway, but with a splash of purple. I recently posted this concept on reddit, and to my surprise garnered a huge amount of interest, so we had to make this a reality.
Since then I have further developed this set with KBDfans, and decided to make it a PBTfans set: a faster, cheaper, and high quality keycap manufacturer. With that being said, we proudly present to you the official PBTfans Purpolch interest check.

Would really like to see a text+icon option for the mods. Icon bottom row ain’t it imo

Love the colours! The deskmats look amazing as well!

Why are the accent arrows in the spacebars kit? :confused:
-
Why is there an alt gr for an all icon modifier kit?
Also consider text bottom row.

Color is not bad at all! not sure about kitting but I'm interested if the samples come out good. I know dark colors and pbt are supposed to be bad.

It is the PBTfans kitting. Samples will definitely be made and I will do the most to ensure the dark colors comes out good. Thank you!

Really into this set! I would love to see more purple though, any chance of an alt alpha kit with purple legends?
-
Do you know or can you check with KBDfans how well the purple of your set and from the new lite r4 (Vivid Violet) will match? Since both will be manufactured by KBDfans it would be nice it the colors fit :) Doesn't need to be exactly the same color but shouldn't be way of.
The purple arrow keys in the base or nomad kit would be better imho.
-
This is so similar to something I made (didn’t order) on wasdkeyboards, definitely buying.
-
i have way too many purple/gray sets already... why can't i stop lol
-
I had to clear my bookmarks just to add this in - definitely considering getting it soon :)

6.25u and 7u bars in the spacebar kit are currently identical to the base kit, should probably be accents.

This will be fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. :thumb:

I would get the Base and Nomad kits with no hesitation, but am kinda intrigued as to why the Spacebars kit includes the 6.25 and 7 ones again since they are already present in the Base kit; also, the accent arrows make more sense if they were included in the Nomad kit rather than the Spacebars kit.

I agree with him here. I think that it would have been a better idea if the 6.25 and 7u spacebars were in the accent colours instead of grey like the alphas are.

This kit had been fixed for a while now, I just hadn't updated the kit render. It's on here now, thank you.

As mentioned above, this was marked for fixing and since then has been fixed. Thank you.

No, U. Looking great so far!, I do really like the colours combination, hoping to see this one coming to life.
