black apple cool. From minila user, is that possible put 3u spacebar in non-standard kit?

piit79 · « **Reply #51 on:** Mon, 04 November 2019, 09:03:17 »

Any chance you could add an R1 1u backspace for full Preonic support? It's not very nice having to use the numpad "minus" key... Thanks!

This is one large kit.

jagger27 · « **Reply #54 on:** Tue, 05 November 2019, 02:12:02 »

Will the 40s spacebars actually fit? My Katakana ones don't stay attached to the stabs. It's not my keeb because GMK ones fit fine. An improvement to the darkness of the reverse dyesub is very much welcomed. Glad to see you're working on it.

I'd like to see some different Escape options in the Mac kit. I like the Power icon thing from Extended 2048, because that's the actual correct legend. The X is subtle and quite nice, but not very Apple. See "Force Quit" below.

Besides that I'd probably be in for at least one reverse dyesubs and one of the normal white ones.

If I’m not just suffering from lack of coffee, the Apple kits are missing a second 1u Option/Alt key. A HHKB/Tsangan bottom row in true Apple fashion (Command next to space bar) would require two 1.5u Command and two 1u Option caps.

Never mind, they’re just in different groups. Getting coffee now.

I have Katakana, and the one thing that kit didn't have that I would love to see in this is r3/r4 pgup/pgdn. With that said I'm in for a BoW kit, and possibly a WoB kit if it's price like katakana.

bball2 · « **Reply #66 on:** Thu, 07 November 2019, 21:07:35 »

Great compatibility! Depending on price would be down to pick up one of each apple sets

AlcoholEnthusiast · « **Reply #67 on:** Thu, 07 November 2019, 22:19:46 »

What is the projected price per set?

Are there any sample caps (ideally next to GMK WoB or GMK Minimal/ePBT BoW) to see how the colors are going to come out?

The Equals D · « **Reply #68 on:** Fri, 08 November 2019, 09:12:24 »

I've been hoping for this since I saw the katakana set. For sure picking up a set or two. Good to see the extra B key as well.

ywcsam · « **Reply #69 on:** Fri, 08 November 2019, 11:06:08 »

I own a set of katakana WOB, here are a few things that I notice:
- The black is more like a dark navy instead of true black. It doesn't look bad at all, but it's definitely not 100% black.
- Longer keys have very slight warp to them. 1 key (6.25U Space) was unusable due to warping. I know this is common in PBT key caps, but other manufacturers have proved it is avoidable (maybe just better QC?) .
- Thickness of the key caps seem to be slightly thinner than EBPT.
- I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the typing surface of these caps is ever so slightly less than GMK's.

Other than these few short comings, the set are nice to the touch, sounds decent, and definitely very affordable. Hopefully the Infinikey will improve on those!

I kind of want to see Katakana legends alphas as a separate kit. That would allow people to mix and match with their GMKs.

AlcoholEnthusiast · « **Reply #70 on:** Fri, 08 November 2019, 14:55:00 »

So many keys but no R3/R4 PgUp/PgDn

ProlificPanda · « **Reply #71 on:** Sun, 10 November 2019, 23:03:16 »

R1 1U Backspace please! For split BS that don't like using pipe.

jrs · « **Reply #72 on:** Wed, 13 November 2019, 13:25:27 »

I hope the black will be dark enough this time for it to go well with the wilba thermal.

Regarding warped large keys, to fix it you should make the keys thicker. Its the only way to fix it with PBT keys

The Apple WoB set might be my favourite keycap set I've ever seen.

There are few changes I would wish for to make it perfect:

Most importantly I was hoping there would be a R3 |\ key like on UK Apple keyboards.
I think I would prefer the arrow in the centre of the ISO enter key rather than at the bottom.

I agree with this about the escape key.

Icon mods need to be a kit.. I'm sure they'd sell so goddamn fast. There are literally no options outside of the GMK Wob/Bow icon mod kits that I've found to be viable with good quality. I would die for one.

given all the e-white boards lately, i would love a super-bright WS2-style white in this set to match (like with gmk monochrome or metaverse i think?)

Reverse dye sub. Harder and thus more expensive.

Still a great price at around $125 USD for the size of the kit though. I'm in on Sanctuary Rebirth, so if that turns out good I might bite on a WoB kit. Been tempted by Drops GMK WoB set since I don't have a WoB set yet, but with all the keys in this set I'd rather grab this if Infinikey can get the reverse dye sub right.

Personally I can't speak to their quality yet as Sanctuary Rebirth will be my first set from them, but they did run the Katakana sets from TKCs GB awhile back. Hopefully some people who got those sets can chime in, but otherwise I'd check the GB thread for that. AFAIK the only major complaint on those sets was the black dye wasn't a true black, more like a very dark gray. I have also heard of some people getting warped stabilized keys too (particularly the 2.75u Shift & spacebars), although I don't think it was a widespread issue & that is par for the course with PBT caps.
