Wow, congratz  ;)

My tracking stops at the moment "Item picked up at 2013/5/21 21:48:09, Flytexpress Sorting Center" and nothing happens after that :(

This is not uncommon for Flyt Express.  I'm in Israel, and it says the same thing.  Qtang has shipped me more than a dozen packages via Flyt Express, and none of them have ever taken more than 10 days.  Most have arrived in a week or less.  Flyt Express does not ship as many packages as companies such as FedEx and EMS, and I think has less flights per week out of China than these companies.  There's a good chance that all our packages are on the same scheduled flight for the Middle East and Europe.

I don't think I've ever had a package ship so fast from China. It gave me a page and a half of tracking updates and now it's out for delivery with courier. (In California btw). I won't be home when it arrives but do they just give it to ups or USPS to deliver within the states?

Don't worry, mine says the same (well obviously different timestamp, but well... you get the idea) but today I've got an SMS from FedEx with a new tracking code and everything seems that at some point FedEx takes responsibility form Flytexpress ;)
If everything on the FedEx tracking is right I will get my poker 2 on monday! oh yes!

bon weekend! :p

Got mine in today, oh god I'm in love. I've been working with a first generation Das Keyboard for so long, but this thing is just a joy to type on, and the noise is orgasmic. The Das Keyboard has a slight "clank" to it that's just plastic-y, but the Poker is heavy and rigid from the plate inside it and all you hear is that glorious keyswitch action. There's a weight to the keyboard and absolutely no flex. The keycaps are nice and thick, easily readable, and personally I LOVE the font over the more common fonts used on keyboards. My only real complaint, and I struggle to even call it that, is that the printing is so thick on the keycap it does feel a little weird under your fingers at times, but I'm sure that will go away with time; still, I may look for a laser engraved keycap set if I could find one that can also do the ninja-print on the side. Not much else to say about it, it's a great solid keyboard that's delightful to type on.

Also, for anyone that's fighting the FlyT Tracking issue, I've noticed that they seem to cache earlier version of when they first ship stuff out. Do a force reload (Ctrl+Shift+R in Firefox) and it should show all the tracking details, at least it did for me.

This was shipped by DHL express? I got a missed package notification today so after seeing all these people receiving, I'm assuming it's for this poker II. Very cool that qtan shipped it express for less than $20!

The flight usually first covers the Far East, then goes to Europe, and, on the way back to China, covers the Middle East.

I just got mine today as well!  Holy crap this is wonderful.  My first 60% and my first full-board experience with MX reds.  The sound that the think PBT caps make is just wonderful.  I tried out some other caps that would look better but they just don't sound the same so I'm sticking with the originals for now (plus RGB mods).  The included RGB mods are a nice treat.  :) 

Thanks qtan for organizing this!  So glad I got one of these.

Now to read the ENGLISH manual and figure out how this thing works.  :D

total radio silence from QTan on this, I've sent an email just yesterday.

glad to see others are getting their boards, I feel jealous and want mine NOW!

no shipping notice so I'm playing the waiting game.

glad to see the unboxing video though - not that unboxing is my thing, I want to start using the KB. have been carrying my FILCO TK board to school, its not fun whatsoever.

should other UK orders get their shipping notices, please let me, and others on here know.

thanks... patience is a virtue.

I paid about the price of that ebay listing for the board plus shipping, but that listing does not include shipping.

Sorry, I did not follow up this post after I processed all order, I usually follow it by email.

The tracking to EU right now since do not give detail update after the Flytexpress updated their website. I talked to them and they said they are working on it.
Look for Keyboard? Check my offers. I have most major keyboard and some caps for you, if you don\'t see it there, ask me. I am Top rated seller on eBay now, and have retail store in China selling keyboard and other gaming staffs.

I received mine a couple of days ago (right before I left on vacation) but today I pulled it out and OMGoodness!!!

First thing I noticed was that it came with a set of blank (and quite thick) RGB's, a keycap puller, and it is heavier than the original Poker by quite a bit. So of course I took off some keycaps to notice that it has a plate (YES YES YES).

Thank you qtan for putting this all together and I can't wait until you get some more of these in stock. I will be looking for one with MX Black switches next.
