Hmm just noticed this in one of the posts. Can somebody translate? Google translate isn't doing it well so I can't tell if they are saying the pc plates are cut this bad or if its the protective film.

He also mentioned regretting getting the kanji blocker for the top due to how rough the cut appears to be. I hope it doesn't turn out that way for everyone's tops.

Y I K E S that is disappointing. I also got e-white with kanji fingers crossed for everyone.

I'm thinking of getting some enamel paint and painting it in just in case it's as bad as it looks. Should be able to cover it up and add some value to the board too.

I'll be doing the same thing, carefully done even with issues like that can make it an improvement. But fingers others will be better.

I thought it already was on qmk, but just checked and it's not. That's a bit of a concern, hopefully it's up soon.

This is really comforting to know, actually!  I got my invoice on the 23rd but no tracking info yet.  I'll stay patient!

How long has it been in that state? I'm sure the logistics of getting packages out of Hong Kong, even DHL, are pretty challenging. My 2 cents is that anything less than a three days is probably the current normal.

I recently got a package through hong kong dhl and it was the same as yours for about a week. Things are just very slow right now with China and Hong Kong Dhl and they are over loaded and it's taking time to move the packages from China to Hong Kong for them to ship out and for the tracking to update.

I'm in Sweden and my package arrived today.  Left Hong Kong on May 1st, arrived in Germany yesterday, and delivered to me today.  So I wouldn't worry about it :]

Thanks for the reply. Ya totally that makes sense, I just wanted to make sure it was normal. Especially since we only get tracking numbers after  is been processed. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be here soon. Can't wait.

i like it very much...def. the right choice imo. I couldn't see much machining issues with the logo , probably because it was less complicated to machine vs the kanji.

I just went through this. My order was delivered today to my old apartment. Luckily, I met the new tenets before moving out so I just drove over there and they handed it over to me.

I asked the folks on the qmk discord channel, and they have not yet received a pull request for it. They said it typically takes around a week to merge after a PR, so might be a bit until the fw is ready
