RE:Group Buy
I've juggling many things simulatenously so for now I can't give you an ETA of when I'll do a group buy, perhaps it could be a 2 weeks, or maybe a month or more. If there's going to be a delay, it will be this one.
So, if it wasn't obvious, I've already have the boards and PCBs with me. I fronted the production for all the keyboard parts many months ago and this is the reason why the group buy has limited quantities. While this is risky, I took this approach because this way I could assure people that they would be getting what they were paying for, and that I could make sure of that.
Since I have the boards, I've already inspected them all. Overall, they all the red and grey boards are good, and aside one or two none present any major issues. However, I wasn't happy at all with the blue keyboards, as they don't have the anodization requested and many units present a very noticeable color mismatch. This is why earlier this month I announced that I wasn't going to offer initially Nautilus Blue Vernes.
My current plan for those boards is to strip the anodization and powder coat them. As I'm writing these lines there's a local factory working on a sample for me. Keep in mind that those boards are probably going to be more expensive.
Also, I made some boxes.
