ePBT Chromatica is a keyset about five women who work at
a keyboards design studio.
In the keyset design game,
we tend to use other IPs a lot. However, none of these
series pertain to the hobby of building and designing
keyboards.
So I thought, why not make an artistic
project specifically for this hobby?

The Chromatica Project is more or less a combination of my
two main hobbies: creative writing and keyboards. Inspired
by many slice-of-life series and my own experiences with the
hobby, the Chromatica Project follows five women– Karina,
Eve, Amy, Ichie, and Calli– and their ups and downs while
working at Studio Chromatica, a fictional electronics design
studio that focuses on keyboard work. Each character will
have a fully written story for themselves as well as each
participating in the planned Chromatica 4-panel comic
series. The 4-Panel series will focus on the beginnings of
the studio and day-to-day interactions of each of the
members. Character stories will focus on each of the
characters’ origins and what led them towards joining Studio
Chromatica.
This keyset is Studio Chromatica’s first
project, and surely, it won’t be the last!
Update 2/06
- Chromatica Alphas now in base
- NorDe changed to include Chromatica-style alphas
- 40s changed to include Chromatica-style alphas
- Added WoB Alphas Kit
- Added GB bonus polaroids peek
- Continuing work on ergo kitting
-
Started work on Colevrak kit
We may be switching our manufacturer to TomatoCaps given the recent timelines with ePBT. After talking with some people with dyesub experience, we’re gonna want to run samples before GB for a lot of our multicolor caps, which is part of the transition. This plan is tentative.
A small clarifying goal from me:
I aim to have physical samples of all of the products being created and sold with the Chromatica project before letting this thing go into a GB. It’ll take time and quite a bit of money, but that’s okay. With the new reverse dyesub capabilities of ePBT, and the newer creators I am working with, I want to make 100% sure that all main products and collaborative products will be of a quality good for selling. I aim to GB this project in early March of 2022, but that time is subject to change depending on my ability to get and photograph samples in a timely manner.
It is paramount to me that the creators I am working with on this project get a stable first step into working on commercial projects such as this one, and that the customer on the end is satisfied with the quality of what we have created.
Kitting
Please note that colors may
vary from monitor to monitor. Colors matched to a new
Pantone Coated Formula Guide.

A photo of chips will be uploaded when I have them
