I didn't make it to the post office before the train this morning. Another attempt will be made Wednesday.

19 orders are packed and just need to be shipped. Because they're parcel post I won't have tracking numbers until I actually take them to the post office. I will do my best to associate tracking number with GeekHacker but I make no guarantees. It will be early. -_-

13 orders are assembled and packed and need to be put in their flat rate boxes, which I now have, and have the labels printed. This will maybe happen tomorrow after work. Maybe.

The remaining orders need to be packed still. That will happen after work tomorrow.

ZzzZZZz for now.

Thanks for the update nuclearsandwich! I know it's a lot of hard work to get everything shipped, so thank you for all that you're doing for us.  :thumb:

I'm not currently able to ship anything

Work is unrelenting right now. I will see if I can get a housemate to ship stuff while I'm busy.

Yep.  NS has done a splendid job of keeping us up to date on this, props to you NS.   :thumb:

Personally, I'm in no rush to receive these, so I'm not fussed.  That may not be the case for everyone though, obviously.

Also, I hope work calms down for you soon.  Sounds incredibly hectic.   :confused:

Like Hoff said, thanks for keeping us in the loop.  It's nice to get that respect from a GB runner.  Hopefully the DDOS stops soon and life can get back to normal.  I hope you're hourly, not salaried, so you can get some nice overtime out of it at least.

I may be able to hook you up.  I forget how many I ordered and what colors, so we'll have to wait and see.

Hey NS, there's a non-trivial number of us on the peninsula. Would you like help? If a few of is got together we could probably sort, box, and ship in an evening.

These LEDs are awesome. So bright and the colors are great. The cyan though has a very "jade" color to it. The pink and sky blue are pretty spot on though. I will try to post some pics of my viper and octagon later.

In terms of putting the SIP pins inside the housing, are you guys leaving them as pairs? Or removing the plastic shield part?

If you don't remove the plastic they don't fit quite right. I removed the plastic and placed an LED to hold it in place while soldering.

This just means we'll have to arrange for a second shipment :)

US orders without SIP sockets went out today. Should be delivered Monday. I had someone else take care of delivery so I don't yet know what tracking information was preserved.

That is, shipments should be tracked but I'm not sure if the tracking numbers are associated with orders or if I just have a ton of tracking numbers.

SIP socket orders should go out early next week.

Received my LEDs today--thank you very much!

Really like both the "pink" and the "sky blue" variety.  The "pink" is indeed a warmer toned pink as compared to my magenta LEDs (the more standard variety found on eBay).  A very nice color to go with a "purple" (magenta-ish) board I should finish putting together.  The sky blue LEDs are brighter and perhaps a tad less green than my turquoise LEDs--I've only tested both on an LED tester, and it was difficult to tell the exact difference in tonality due to the difference in brightness.  Either way, a great color.  The jade colored "cyan" I already had from long ago from aliexpress and never found a use for them :(

Great GB!

Ahh can't wait for mine!  Now to figure out how to do SIP sockets and stickers haha
Skip stickers. They don't do anything and they take way too long. Trust me...  :)

they came already on! hah

Did all of the Canadian orders get shipped out?  Haven't seen anything yet, and getting a little worried that it may have gone to the wrong address.  Changed my shipping address approximately 1 month ago according to the instructions in the OP.

I'll have to find your tracking number, the way the receipt is it actually take a little digging to sort all of them out.

I'll try this again at some point, as photographing LEDs is usually an exercise in frustration, but here's a rough idea of how these LEDs compare.  I'd mostly pay attention to the glow halos around the LED bulbs.

The first is "pink" vs. the standard "purple" (You can also buy UV Purple LEDs, those are even more blue toned):





And these are: "Sky Blue", my previously owned turquoise ("Ice blue"), and my previously owned "Cyan" (more like jade):

Sky Blue / Cyan / Ice Blue:


Sky Blue / Ice Blue / Cyan:


To put this in perspective, Ice Blue already looks very cyan-green when installed in large numbers on a keyboard.  So in that respect, Cyan looks a cold shade of VERY green, and I anticipate Sky Blue to look more green than what I currently have on my keyboards and call "turquoise".  I was hoping Sky Blue would be less green than my Ice Blue, but it seems to go the other way around.  Still a very nice color to experiment with.  The Pink LEDs will go great with purple anodized plates and cases, as the normal Purple LEDs are usually too cold toned to match.
