KAT PBJ
A fully modular, lighthearted keyset that will pull you back to your childhood!
Welcome to KAT PBJ, my passion project for the last few months! I was inspired to create my own keycap set that was as authentic to my own self as possible, and I strongly believe in never taking life too seriously. Embracing your inner child and finding the fun things in life doesn't ever have to go away, so I wanted to create something that reminded people of their childhoods and give cozy after-school snack vibes. Nothing evokes that feeling like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut in triangles, a cold glass of milk, and your favorite cartoon playing in the background.
Thus... KAT PBJ was born!

The kits have been designed to be as modular as possible offering 4 "Jelly" accent colors and several language kits as well as compatibility options.

How can I contact you?
Discord is probably the best place to get in touch with me ASAP, but feel free to contact me through any means! You can find all of my social media for this set here. I check all of them regularly! For business contact, feel free to message me on Discord at Liz#1313 or email me at [email protected]! This looks kinda similar to IFK Marshmallow and GMK Bread?
I have spoken with the creators of both sets (PRJKT_ and GergWorst) and they are both amazing people who both have helped me in designing my set when they had absolutely no obligation to do so. Please check out their work as they are both creating awesome stuff!
