Quote
(18th May 2022) FamousKBD,

Hello everyone, this will be an update for everyone. We have accumulated a large number of suggestion throughout time.  Because it is the first time we initiated a group purchase, there are many shortcomings.  I hope you will offer us additional feedback and allow us to improve. I will be really grateful.
This update is relatively big. Because it will soon be our time to line up for production, we have decided the final design after gathering the majority of the opinions
, and we declare here that we will not remove/reduce any keys with the original design in this altering. But we will merely add few keys to make the collocation more flexible and rich. The following is the latest information:

1. Added Pink Mod Kit.
2. Added International KIT.
3. Added pink Numpad
4. White keys are added to Novelties KIT
5. Added white space bar in Spacebar KIT
6. Added white "Enter" in Mod KIT
7. BASE KIT global limited 300pcs

We'd also want to make a remark about this upgrade. If the number of keys in the KIT you purchased increases after May 20, we will give the additional keys out for free to purchasers who paid before May 20. You won't have to pay anything more because this is a free update. If you need to replace any KIT you previously purchased, please contact us at info@famouskbd.com or according to your local vendors.
Finally, due to the newly added and updated keys, our delivery date has been pushed back to August. We still stand by our commitment, and you may request a refund at any time. We value each buyer's opinions and preferences, and we just want to improve our goods. We will do everything we can to reduce the wait time.  Thank you for your understanding, very grateful!

Inspiration
This keycap set was inspired by a holiday taken during spring in the countryside by designer, SUDA. Feeling like we've been tied down for way too long due to the pandemic.. Spending Spring in the countryside made him forget about everything that's going on. Blooming flowers and surrounded by nature, free from the worries of city life, living in the moment and the serenity of natures beauty.

I don't understand how the estimated ship date for this is June when there are EPBT sets that ran last year still going through the color sampling process and waiting in the production queue.

I don't understand your 40s kit (and epbt row notation is confusing but that's beside the point):

* The accent enters should be r2 (same as tab row)
* Why do you have a 1.25u backspace in r2? If that's supposed to be enter - there's an accented one already
* WHY do you have a 1.5u enter in r3?? If that's supposed to be a backspace - there's one in base already
* It's "raise" not "rise" for the R1 1u

So you're telling me that this set is somehow already in production and the buyers are paying for (literal) pre-orders?

If so then is there any picture of the actual sample/production unit for this?

I was so caught up in the other tomfoolery here that I didn't even notice that hex codes were being used for color matching. Yeesh.

You beat me to it, but you're right. This seems to be put together as a poorly put together afterthought.

So this is shipping in less than 2 month?

While other ePBT sets have been in queue for over a year?

Don't think the other ePBT runners would be very happy to see the productions lines making this instead of their sets that they have been waiting for forever already
