This looks sweet.
But 44euro just to get the iso Keys is such a shame.

I’m sure there’s some USA ortho users who would send em to you for cheaper?

Gah!

hey I really need extension to hit MOQ. Like really really...

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 03 October 2019, 14:53:47 »

how are we doing on the extension kit? I bought another (Mdotmaxon our deal's still on; I'm just trying to get the thing made)

If you can buy a spare, write switchmod and he'll help you get an extension kit without paying shipping twice.

MechanicalCafe · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 04 October 2019, 03:31:23 »

Just made it in.

I logged in just to see how the extension is doing - as I kind of (mainly) want this for my 40% board. I haven't bought a keyset in a year or so hopefully extension and spacebars makes it

ComebaX · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 04 October 2019, 04:31:50 »

I decided to pull the trigger on this one! Another Zambumon set added to the collection in order to keep Jamon and Nautilus company!

We'll do our best to get that kit going, I'd say that 70-75 could be the "magic" number for it.

Zambumon · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 04 October 2019, 13:03:39 »

Correction: made a typo with the extension kit: it should be 57, not 47

runningngunning · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 06 December 2019, 19:23:47 »

Kicking myself for not jumping on this, though I’m not sure what I’d put it on

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 06 December 2019, 19:55:11 »

Thought it might be ok on a white board but I always liked the similar colored boards from zambumon in the renders...

rmendis · « **Reply #39 on:** Sun, 08 March 2020, 00:39:55 »

Will there be extras?

Or if anyone wants to sell their spot, hmu.

Preorder for extras is on Switchmod now, not sure about the other sellers’ plans.

udller · « **Reply #41 on:** Tue, 10 March 2020, 23:49:15 »

any updated information about the shipping or delay of shipping of this set?

MechanicalCafe · « **Reply #42 on:** Sun, 22 March 2020, 04:51:15 »

Any updates on this set?

I know a lot is going on right now but, wondering if this is on time.

outsider · « **Reply #43 on:** Sun, 29 March 2020, 18:05:38 »

Update was posted on switchmod's discord on 3:15: GMK sets: Sandstorm is delayed, most likely delays to Alter and Metaverse downstream, if you'd like to know more opt into the keycaps role by checking #rules-roles.

Krelbit · « **Reply #44 on:** Sun, 03 May 2020, 19:53:13 »

Switchmod.net's Sandstorm tracking numbers are going out right now, 1 week early. The sets will begin moving out on May 11. This is done a week in advance so you have ample time to change your addresses, something I feel might be necessary while many of you are forced to move to different areas during quarantine.

You will shortly receive your email with the address I have on hand. PLEASE let me know if the address you are at is different than the one listed, so we can void the label and create a new one with the right address.

You can reach me via geekhack PMs or by going to http://switchmod.net/contact.

Thank you so much for your support, patience, and understanding.

King4477 · « **Reply #45 on:** Sun, 03 May 2020, 19:54:31 »

Thanks Krelbit! Best service in all of custom keyboards right there.

Zambumon · « **Reply #46 on:** Mon, 04 May 2020, 06:03:49 »

Sandstorm is shipping soon. Please check your shipping address and update it if necessary.

Switchmod extras will be available 1-2 weeks after the group buy orders have all shipped. There are, however, a very limited number of them, as they were available from group buy close to May 2 for pre-order.
