BIIP MT3 Extended 2048 Custom Keycap Set (Drop)

This looks like a stunning keycap set :orange_heart:

A LEGENDARY KEYBOARD LIVES ON

When you bought an Apple Macintosh computer in the early 1990s, you received the Apple Extended Keyboard II (AEKII) along with it. While it may seem ordinary by modern standards, it was this very keyboard that would become a benchmark for future full-size boards—a legend of its time and still today. For our latest project, we teamed up with designer biip (who you may know from keycap sets like Milkshake, Bento, and Bushido) to create a set inspired by the legendary AEKII. Executed in our exclusive MT3 profile, our Extended 2048 keycap set features a minimal icons-based design with cream-colored alphas, black legends, and bright color accent keys. Made of PBT material with dye-sublimated construction, MT3 Extended 2048 is built strong with legends that won’t fade.

Am I right in thinking that for the Planck we would need the following?

  • Alphas kit ($42)
  • Nomad kit ($35) (Needed for ortholinear/Planck)
  • Accent Nomad kit (£25) (for the colour)
  • Optional: Colevrak kit ($35)
  • Optional: ISO UK kit ($10)

Total: $147 :scream: but they are :heart_eyes:

Shame the Media icons are not part of the Icono pack:

(I only want the little Apple faces!)

There’s also an ergo kit for split keyboards as well as a few other options.

I’m extremely tempted. It’s my birthday next month so it could be my birthday treat :laughing:

I’ve just placed my order :see_no_evil:

I am broke now for the rest of the year :rofl: (tho they do give you some money off for your first order).

I went for the following kits

  • Alphas
  • Nomad
  • Nomad Accent
  • Colevrak

I was going to swap the Alphas and Colevrak kit for the Katakana kit (a bit like what Dusty has done here) but because all the other keys are symbols it wouldn’t look as good as his imo.

Btw @Dusty, I was googling for “Best Planck Keycaps” and your photo/post showed up in Google! Must say it looks stunning - if it was still available I would have copied you! :blush:

:heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes: that’s a gorgeous set! Must… resist :sob:!

The Colevrak kit probably wouldn’t work for me as I use Colemak mod-DHm. It does look like it would support that configuration.

I may have to break down on this one :sweat_smile:. I have until January 1st to mull it over. Then the price goes up.
