Surely there should be some updates by now, no?

Yeah, getting a little quiet... almost a month since our last stoke from Raymond. Know they have the MD deal going too- but we're easy. One blurry pic of a slab of anodized Alu goes a long way.

Blow on our embers here (don't make that dirty, degenerates), Revo Team!!

Updates here:

Sorry to tell everyone that we have some delay in this GB.Due to the serious environmental problem here,all the anode factory have been shut down.

We have finished all the CNC progress,and all the keyboards are waiting for anodizing.

The good news is we are expecting to start anodizing within this week,that means i'll try my best to start shipping it before lunar new year(in this year it's 27 Jan).

However i can't make any promise right now, i apologize for any inconvenience because of this delay.Ill keep you guys updated.

Something like 15000 factories in China have shut down due to restrictions by the government from excessive smog. I don't think this has to do with the factory, but I may be wrong

I know the smog situation back home. Something like  the great smog of LA/Pittsburgh/London. Well although the shutdown sucks for me. I hope the Revo team stay safe and protect yourselves well.

Yep,the situation is really bad here,so many factories have been shut down.All we can do is to wait it out.Dr.D will start anodizing around this weekend.I really want to start shipping this before Chinese New Year.

It's more like 15000 factories.They shut down around 2500 factories in Beijing area last year. Think how many they will shut down if the problem become national. It's pretty serious.

Awww, shucks.   :-* Thanks for your support and ninja-like GB running skills. We have total trust in you and your team to deliver awesome boards as soon as possible. We're just all obsessive-compulsive keyboard nerds- when we know there is another board to build (and then fondle) on the horizon, we start losing sleep dreaming about it... hahaha

i dont know how many they shut down. I just take a wild guess.cause this time the smog hit almost every city in the country. It's really a hard time for my son. it's almost like the end of world,man.there is no word for this. It's too much a price for being the world factory.

To be honest, as an American, I have practically zero awareness of this issue or that it was even that bad. I'm sorry it's so troublesome for your family and I hope it clears up soon. 
Until now I just thought it was only somewhat unhealthy, and a obstruction to visibility

Take care, Raymond!

I just try my best making things happen. Tbh, i am a little bit obsessive-compulsive myself. I can understand the feeling, i used to think about what i bought every night.Now when i am running GB all i want to do is make it more smooth and deliver it on time.that's why i feel bad about the delay. still i haven't been able to update it cause i am crazy busy with my day job this month. However the worst time have pasted and ill try ship it before CNY. I maybe ship some order before CNY and ship the rest after CNY.

Well Im glad the the Chinese government is actually trying to help with the smog problem. If it was the USA, Trump would just blame the smog on the "liberals" and build more coal factories.

It's not your bad. I mean we Chinese have already get used to this. And the government won't allow the press to talk about this. From me personally i 'd like to see them shutting down heavy pollute factory. However the anode factory's pollution is not mainly to the air.So we can be back to work soon. :D

Well, from our point of view,your government is much much better than ours. I don't really into politics,but Trump seems he really dont know what's he is doing. I just heard he want to build a well between your country and Mexico.Too crazy.
