Looks beautiful! If I actually modded switches myself instead of getting others to do it for me I would totally buy this!

wonder if i should go for the brass option or just the standard one

PiotrMKG · « **Reply #17 on:** Sun, 19 May 2019, 14:34:45 »

Brass was over the top for me and unnecessarily heavy. standard wasn’t enough so I went with Limited Edition.

@ilouis_07, anyone replying to support emails?

I ordered through ilumkb.com, which includes free China EMS shipping, right? I made payment for normal mail, which you might have to refund me. Order #1105

Anyways, do reply to your support email please. Thank you!

Did all of the invoices for the brass unit go out? I filled out the form a few days ago but haven't received an invoice, and want to make sure I'm not missing the GB.

I filled it out as well, but haven't gotten the invoice. I imagine he won't send them until he's ready to send the order off to the manufacturer.

Zacharius · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 20 May 2019, 21:33:25 »

Actually filled out a second one as well, but it doesn't look like I am getting a Google form receipt after submission.

Is there a way to confirm that we're signed up for the brass edition ilouis?

Brass just hit the MOQ of 50 units, louis has not yet mentioned how invoicing will be done. GB is through May 31st, so it may be closer to the GB's conclusion.

Stay tuned for more, updates are definitely faster in discord and you get to hang out with a bunch of cool people!

If you submitted the form you're good. At 100 units some options get added for a finish (unfinished or sandblasted+UV coating) so he likely won't invoice until then. Will check with him in discord to get more info on this.

Hey guys, if you want a full brass orders are live here! -> https://ilumkb.com/products/gb-full-brass-nutcracker-v2

Easier than invoicing. If you already placed an order through his website, he will combine it. Prices are in SGD remember! The google form was more of an IC for brass to see if hitting MOQ was even possible.

It looks like the brass webpage states "Raw brass finishing" period and all info regarding sandblast/clearcoat has been removed--is this no longer happening at 100 units?

So far we received 30+ orders for full brass. I will make it happen. (For moq50,raw brass)

I do hope they will be ready earlier, waiting on this for a build. Lazy to use tweezers/etc.

Nope, when we brought all the nutcrackers from the factory to our warehouse, we scratched/dent half of pink nutcracker's cap by careless. Other colors are good.
Will delay about 1-2 weeks.

Going to pack and ship out orders for non-pink first? Or going to delay shipment for all orders for the 1-2 weeks.

sartarelli · « **Reply #49 on:** Wed, 24 July 2019, 05:26:44 »

Would make sense to ship out what is fine and the pink ones later.
I would like to build new keyboard soon and only waiting for this
