I'm sure you mentioned an EU proxy for this on Reddit?I will be establishing that connection with David from mykeyboard.eu shortly - it's a bit late yes, but I am going to work on making that a reality!

There is no order limit right? I am bouncing around what color I want before ordering I am honestly really beside my self trying to decided.I'm doing raw aluminum and getting custom powder coating :D
Cyan/Teal.. Cause I got a KBD75 in Cyan that I really like this might be a nice compliment to it
Black.. Black is classic but its also about as standard as they come... any keyboard can be gotten in black
Red.. Cause its a nice shade almost orange shade of red. Only problem is finding keycaps that would match
Gold.. cause why not but then again once more Keycaps to match
Emerald Green.. Cause you know green looks amazing but then keycaps..
What color are you guys going with?
What color are you guys going with?I bought the 96KEE in the last GB but I might have to sell the kid and go with this. Looks amazing.
For sure! The gold would look amazing with XDA Godspeed. I would love to see that.What color are you guys going with?I bought the 96KEE in the last GB but I might have to sell the kid and go with this. Looks amazing.
I was thinking Gold but I'm not sure how it will look with XDA Godspeed. (the set that will end up on my 96 key)
Hey Dave, is the silver color the same as the MM2? I was hoping you might have offered a darker grey. Oh, well...I'm between purple and silver right now. Hmmm...Hey Mike!

Silver is the same - HOWEVER - I am waiting for factory to come back from holidays, because they said they might have a Gunmetal color for me :)
Question if we order another color then Gunmetal comes on to the scene.. will there be a option to update to gunmetal if we wanted???100% You will be able to switch.

Is it safe to say that the blue from the mechmini 2 can be replicated on this case? Similar to this?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/HWZZCAE.jpg)
If so then I know I'm going to be buying a blue one!

im not involved with this GB but should be close if it's the same factory
no two ano batches are exactly the same, though

Sweet thanks for the quick updates and replay's wish all gb/ic where so quick to respond.
Is it safe to say that the blue from the mechmini 2 can be replicated on this case? Similar to this?As puddy stated, the colors will come very close. Production MM2 in purple next to Espectro Prototype in the same purple - the espectro is just the slightest shade darker of purple.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/HWZZCAE.jpg)

Yea I had the same thoughts, I just wanted to hear confirmation from Dave that it would be the same factory doing the anodizing so I can hope the color comes out with the same depth as the previous Royal Blue before I throw down my mula. Thank you for the helpful words though!

Hey everyone! Some good news. In the immediate future I will be adding brass weights for sale for Espectro as well as a gunmetal / dark grey color. Here's a render of the expected color.
Keep in mind - this is a new color with the factory, it can turn out as good as the render, or it could turn out better or worse. Please know by playing an order / switching the color, you accept this - and you will not be able to return/refund/exchange your unit.Show Image(https://i.redd.it/29gx27n07oh01.png)

Any photos of the RGB in action?Coming today! I just did the final assembly on the prototype - had a few mis-designs to fix in the plate before I built it all. I even purchased new ikea desk setup for this monumental occasion hahaha
I am narrowing down my choices and was wondering if anyone could comment who might have gotten a mechmini 2 or even JMD... is the red more of a orangish red?in my opinion, and the two people who own red mechmini 2's - my factory anodizing on a scale of red to orange red, is sitting real close to red.

There is no buy limit! However, the minimum I have imposed is 50. I really want to at least see 50 loving homes receive an Espectro, but ultimately my goal is 100+!I am narrowing down my choices and was wondering if anyone could comment who might have gotten a mechmini 2 or even JMD... is the red more of a orangish red?https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/335111878357417994/416542076792995850/image.jpg?width=905&height=679
Thanks JMD your amazingly helpful.. this helps narrow it down even further. I am hoping to pull the trigger on this next friday.. hopefully there no limit to the number that can be ordered. I was suppose to have some money coming in... and still waiting on them thought next Friday is payday sooo as long as there is no order cap! I should be ok.
What layouts are supported?You know what. Let me get a picture up of the pcb for you guys.
Does the PCB support 1.25-1.25-1.25-6.25-1.25-1.25-1.25-1.25-2-1-1 on the bottom row?
Am I correct to assume that there are no switches in place in the model pictures? Or why are there weird gaps between some of the keys? And would that also mean that the keys won't sit quite that deep?Check the updated photos on the product page :D

It's now fully assembled and it's absolutely glorious with GMK!!

GMK? All the 'assembled' pictures on the mechkeys.ca site look like an SA keycap set. GMK doesn't make SA profile caps.
I never said the pictures on the website would illustrate the board with GMK on it ;);) I suppose not. There's still just one thing I'm not sure about, and that is the photos of the pre-production aluminum pieces with the anodizing done. Are these just color samples? The shape of them appears very different to the renders of the project.
Those are mechmini 2's, from the same factory, with the same anodizing.I never said the pictures on the website would illustrate the board with GMK on it ;);) I suppose not.

Is the second image on the website the raw aluminum? It looks like the bottom of the case.Yep! Raw aluminum.
Do you have dimensions for the case?
Is there still going to be engravings in the rear? I didn't notice any on yours. If so, what are you planning on the engravings looking likeThe back end of the Espectro will have MECHKEYS x KOOB engraved in the center as it is both of our work that went into the design of this keyboard :)
this might be a silly question but the PCB's are coming ready to use right? We just gotta solder on the switches/leds and we are good to go?Everything was done via SMT at the factory. PCB's are plug and play ready and the only soldering required is of your switches =)
Do you know when the brass plate will be available and the cost? I think I'm finally done deciding and ready to order.https://mechkeys.ca/collections/group-buys/products/espectro-96-brass-plate-optional-second-pcb
I know its going to be asked is the optional brass plate a addon or replacement? If we order the brass plate will it replace the standard plate included?No it will not. You will be shipped 2 plates. This is why I also added a secondary pcb option, to facilitate this. That way, you can have two different builds for one Espectro :)

What color plate comes with the board?Whatever color you choose for the case. It will match that.

Thanks what I was hoping to hear cause now thinking going to juggle things around. Build two plates 1 case so I can switch between Tactical and Linear switches when I want. Also I narrowed down what case I am going to get. I am just waiting on money now!!! Glad to see MOQ is doing so well thought. I am super hyped for this build and even more hyped knowing the designer of Pearl helped with it. I loved he 40% they did just yea.. 40% is not for me.

Where can I get some of those Tactical switches? :p
Hmm now you got me thinking about my switch choice. Either kailh jaids, hako trues, or -ealios. I've got a board with zealios and I love the switch. But this is such a nice board I might want to do something different. Sometimes I hate choices.

Where can I get some of those Tactical switches?
I think Cherry Makes them.. yea Black.. Stems Black housing... can't get much more tactical... thought we could make the housing of the switch out of Kevlar maybe? Then we could add some silencing to them... o wait Cherry Silent Blacks... hmm! you know more thinking about this Cherry missed the boat.. could have totally marketed silent blacks as Tactical switches... charged a fortune :P... but yea my bad! haha thinking want to go one PCB with Silent blacks and the other with Clear's. I had a set of clear's on a Pok3r and hated the board.. and ended up hating the switches so I kinda like to revisit them. Also I already have like 3 board's sporting box blacks so I wanted something different "chuckles"

Lol, Dave. When I get a day off this week I’m placing my order. ;)
do you have an idea of the weight of the brass vs standard plate?I do not have the weight of the brass. And if you get the extra plate/pcb - it's not a hot swap, because you will have to unplug it from your desktop/laptop in order to unscrew the polycarb base, and the old pcb/plate before screwing in the new.
if you get the extra pcb with the brass is it like a hot swap? like swap one pcb/plate for the other?
sorry if the last question seems silly - never built before.
I think I've bugged you about this at least twice before on the Reddit posts about this GB, but any update on whether or not we can mix plate and case colors? I think I would have already been sold on this if I could get that purple with cyan plate render on the sales page.I concur

I think I would have already been sold on this if I could get that purple with cyan plate render on the sales page.I can do that for you, and anyone else. All I will need is a follow up email with the desired plate color so I can add it to the spreadsheet.
I also wanted to double check on the dimensions. You said they were on the site, but I can't find them - can you point me in the right direction?My apologies - thought it had updated.
Other than the Brass/PCB add on, is there another way to addon an extra plate/pcb? Also if we're adding on some zealio's, are they going to ship with the board?Zealios will ship with the board yes. If you want a second plate / pcb just shoot a message and I will sort you out.

Sent you a message thought Mechkey's website I hope thats the right way. Thanks for the help this has been amazing group buy. I felt I could really buy with confidence and look forward to hearing back from ya about the plate. I really want to build one board with Tactile Switches thinking clear's and another with linear switches
Is it possible to have 3 1u keys to the right of the spacebar or is the PCB flexible enough that I can assign one of the 1.5 to a FN key
Think we just hit 50!We sure did. I'm updating spread sheet as soon as this is posted =)
Just curious, do you know if the green matches the TA royal alphas?
I appreciate your 2 cents. After much visualizing, spreadsheets, and crayon drawing I will be going with Purple.
As for the Laser, thankfully there is a render of it on the purple Pearl(?) over at https://mitormk.com/s00n/ looks pretty good.
2. Is there any chance you could post a picture of the bottom of the case? Looks awesome, but I'd kind of like to see a pic of the base just for a glimpse of the material that I'm not very familiar with in cases, since it will have some bearing on the sound and sturdiness of the case in general.
Does this board support ISO (UK QWERTY) layout?Yes

Woo, after years of lurking this is the perfect keeb for me. Ordered. I'm also curious about the underglow LEDs, there was a previous question as to whether or not they're included. Particularly, with the assembly option, will they be preinstalled?Heya! Thanks for your order.
Looking forward to it!
The underglow rgb is already pre-soldered by machines. The only soldering required by end user is of the switches, and any single color LED's that will be inserted into said switches.
Yep!The underglow rgb is already pre-soldered by machines. The only soldering required by end user is of the switches, and any single color LED's that will be inserted into said switches.
I've ordered this keyboard and been wondering about LED support. Sorry for my ignorance, but does this means I can solder LEDs to the switches and control them with QMK? How about the RGB underglow, can I also change the color/intensity with QMK or some other way?
I cannot decide what color to get... AGHGH :'(
Not sure on ETA for violet tendencies. The person who put the set together decided the other day to run with another vendor. As far as espectro colors....dark grey - always a good choice.I cannot decide what color to get... AGHGH :'(
Haha me too...narrowed it down to the dark gray and the purple.... then again maybe blue....arghh..
My biggest lean towards the gray is easier to match key sets to (although if Violet Tendencies was to be released soon, I’d go all in on the purple)
No, you're right, the three 1u's should fit in between the space and arrow cluster and I believe the PCB supports this as noted above
Thinking about pairing Troubled Minds (R2) keyset with this, struggling with which color:Leaning towards Dark Grey...
- Dark Grey - More compatibility with other colors, will work w/ both the green and purple of TM
- Purple - Keyset has lots of purple, but a different shade (darker)
- Green - The shades of green look similar, but would it be too much green close together?
Pulled the trigger on dark gray with a brass plate. Can't wait!! :thumb:
Hey guys will update answers to some questions later today - just going through the orders and updating spread sheets and spending time out with family for my birthday this fine day.
We're so close to 100 orders everyone, so so so so close. I think maybe 10 more?

Thats amazing does that 97 orders include the proxy orders already? This has been amazing group buy but then again the board is simply amazing! I honestly can't wait to get mine!!!! its going to be one of my endgame coveted boards. It might not be the most expensive board out there.. might not be a Korean custom but in my opinion it rank up there as one of the sexist hands down!

Both seem to be equally popular in the spreadsheet. I would want more of a Macbook Pro 2016 Space Gray if I was choosing to go gray. This one looks darker than that. Although, to be fair, I was set on purple the second I saw the prototype and it would have been hard to convince me otherwise.

Experimental color with factory - this can turn out good, or bad. It is your acceptance by purchase, that you will be satisfied by the color that results from this. We will not have color samples to look off of until they've been made and coated.

That statement spooked me away from the grey.
Would Cyan look cool with gmk taro? https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93732.0
or purple... Think i need to switch from dark grey, already got a dark grey 1800 board :/
For assembly, do we specify stepped/non stepped caps lock?
I didn't think to ask about getting a different color plate from the case. Do you have room for adding one to my order or will there be extras by the end? I don't mind paying the cost for an additional plate if necessary.Orders are submitted tonight. In about 12 hours. You have plenty of time to submit that request.
Can't wait!
For assembly, do we specify stepped/non stepped caps lock?
I'm back and forth between grey and purple... I have a metallic grey 1800 board so I'm thinking purple for this.. but purple isn't my favorite color. Buuuut I have 2 purple key sets it could go with. Aghhhbetter hurry up and make your decision :)
How long till you place the order Dave?
I think youre right.. If it was darker purple I would have jumped on board without hesitation.How long till you place the order Dave?
This close to the wire I go with the gray set.. the reason I went with green was cause its one of my favorite colors also its just you don't see a lot of keyboard's done in green. It was just a natural choice. I would say since it doesn't sound like your extremely found of the purple just go gray cause purple keysets will most likely match the gray nicely anyway
How long till you place the order Dave?
Did i seriously miss this GB buy 3 days? FML :(Mmhmm but if you still want one shoot me a PM, I'll sneak you in!!
Does anyone want to take my spot in this GB? I ordered 2 dark grey kits.
Forgot to ask earlier (doesn't matter now) but does the plate support switch top removal?Hey buddy! It does support switch top removal :)
Does anyone want to take my spot in this GB? I ordered 2 dark grey kits.
Can the order be split? I'd take one but not both.
Not sure, I'll email him and see how I can sell the spots separately.

If it helps, I'm willing to pick it up in-person as I think gas money from Edmonton to Calgary would be cheaper than Canada Post!
But seriously, I'm Canadian & am more than willing to work out something if I gotta pay the difference between a combined two-board order to wherever you are & a one-board order to me & a one-board to you or wherever else.

So it seems like he wants me to collect payment from the buyers and forward your name, mailing address, etc to him. It seems kind of weird to do it like that, instead of refunding me and charging you separately for it. I'm gonna try to clarify if that's what he wants me to do, but I would prefer you pay him instead lol.

Ugh. I'm a bit apprehensive about the transactions if this is how it's gotta shake out.
...I'd rather wash my hands of this completely lol. Will keep you updated.
As of 4/10/2018
Espectro: Payment Submitted - waiting for bank wire to clear, once cleared production starts. This is taking a little longer than I wanted.
SA BTS: Payment Submitted - Production to begin Q4 2018. We got pushed back on our production, so that they could accommodate more popular sets.
I am stepping away from the business for an undetermined amount of time. If you require help. support, etc please check the discord. There will be people there who can assist in my absence.
If you have an issue with your order(s) leave an email, they will be read on every Monday. (Once a week).
Thank You.
...I'd rather wash my hands of this completely lol. Will keep you updated.
I'm guessing he wants a minimum of fuss & muss since he's stepping away from the business for an unspecified period for unspecified reasons. Not sure if I want a keyboard from a closed-up shop with only discord for support, but keep me in the loop nonetheless.
I want to explain my break from the business, but I also do not wish to air laundry over the internet.
However here are the updates.
1) After the group buy ended, and all payments were collected and submitted the factory raised the cost of production. This was a time set back.
I added the additional thousands that they wanted, but before that i also needed a week to think things over. It was either go out of pocket to see the project through, or refund everyone - start over, or scrap it completely. Instead of disappointing you all, I opted to eat the bullet.
2) I submitted payment March 28th. My bank decided they wanted every type of information about me, and the bank draft beneficiary. I was preparing to provide dna samples and first born children, it was rather ridiculous.
Payment was received on april 19th by the factory.
3) Production started April 20th. 20 to 30 days for completion. We're currently looking at around 3 more weeks before they start shipping to me.
4) Some people wanted refunds, however with the added loss of thousands of dollars and no profit gained from this project from the factory raising it's prices I am opting to not offer this for people. If you wish to sell your spot, send an email, we will sort it out. This week things are looking to clear up, no more dr and vet visits and I will be able to get back to my excellent communications with you all.
5) There will be 24 extra keyboards for sale after all customer orders are built and shipped. $350 each. A giant box of Zeal switches are in my posession as well.
6) Once I have something more to update you all with I will do so, thank you for understanding. Thank you for being patient. I hope everything is well for each and every one of you.

Dave, I'm glad to hear things are starting to get back to normal a bit for you. That's crazy that the factory would do something like this. I think you can expect our support and well wishes for everything you do for us in the community.
Glad to hear everythings ok. Real life comes first. Thanks for the update. Real ****ty of the factory to do that, was this the one you had used previously?Same one as Mechmini 2 yes.

Looking to purchase an extra or take someone's spot who isn't interested anymore let me know!
I was an email away. I think I recall suggesting at one point for interested parties to email me to arrange payment and transfer ownership.Looking to purchase an extra or take someone's spot who isn't interested anymore let me know!
Check with bizzy11. I was going to buy one of his slots, but due to the inordinate amount of time it's taken to coordinate the swap-over thanks to JMD's completely understandable limited engagement with the project due to personal issues I've gotten myself a Melody96 spot that opened up instead.
Looking to purchase an extra or take someone's spot who isn't interested anymore let me know!There will be extras coming.
I sent you a PM here asking a question & identifying myself as one of the people looking to buy one of bizzy11's slots & got no response.You go ahead and do whatever makes you happy, while my customers who were present during the time of the group buy, and wanted to support an amazing 96 will enjoy theirs.
On the other hand, I left a comment regarding extras in a months-old reddit thread on the Melody96 & when one came up the vendor contacted me & the entire transaction was concluded through a half-dozen emails inside half an hour.
I'm sure you'll blame me for not contacting you through the appropriate channels (again) so you could do me the favour of selling me your product, but it's entirely academic at this point since I've secured what I feel to be a superior solution elsewhere.

At the end of the day it's your money, and not mine - and I have been more than accommodating. Afterall, it's not my responsibility to make sure you can buy someone elses order - it's yours. I was just trying to be nice and offer assistance.

JMD when you say one more week is that one more week till they ship to you are 1 more week till they finish production! cause honestly I am not prepared :eek: .. I was expecting these to ship June.. mid june or late june! I don't even know what switches I want to use yet or anything.Heya, I'm expecting this to happen.

Next weekend (around the 20th of may) the order to ship from the factory, to my QC agent.
QC agent will take 2 to 3 days to pack/assemble/qc my order. And then it ships out to me.
I do expect to start shipping these to everyone before the end of the month - however - please keep in mind, this timeline could stray off course.
As far as your switches and stuff go - I know what's going in mine, Zealios :)
Hey all,
My order number isn't showing up on the orders google sheet. And I can't seem to be able to get in contact with anyone at mechkeys. Any idea how to talk to someone? Emailed them using their website emailer about a week ago (since I know they only read emails on monday per their website) and got no response.
Any ideas?
I did some searching but didn't find it, is the Espectro the same length as other 96 keyboards (Redscarf for example)? I want to get a wrist rest that is the proper length

I spoke with JMD earlier on this matter, the width of the board he gave me is exactly 15"

Okay great, thank you!
An update in general on the GB would be cool since the last one was 25 days ago and it said there was 7 days or less left on production.
That's unfortunate. One and a half months or just half a month?Hello everyone! Im Dave from mechkeys.ca (https://mechkeys.ca/products/espectro) and i present to you our newest in-house project, Espectro.
UPDATES
June 4th Update
My factory producing Espectro was met with some troubles with the Chinese gov't regarding pollution control. The shared space that they were using was violating their new pollution laws, and they had to relocate - thus affecting every project inside of said space. Espectro has been delayed a couple weeks, and my new production end date I've been told is one half month from today.
Greatly greatly sorry for this - I know everyone is itching to get their boards, unfortunately there is nothing I can do with this - it's completely out of my hands and my control and I'm just along for the ride at this point alongside all of you. I will update when I have more news.
The PCB's, plates, and poly carb bases are all 100% completed, we're just waiting for the rest of the cases to wrap up - and then anodizing.
Thanks
One half month would be approx. two weeks. In China, they do not divide their month by days/weeks but by pieces (half month).That's unfortunate.

Hmmm, I think I'm going to have to change my shipping address then if it's going to be making its way out later. What would be the best way to do that if I was going to sometime next week?
Just curious, how long do you expect assembly to take for those of us that chose it?If I receive everything on a monday - it will all be shipped by friday and then the saturday/sunday after will be dedicated to assembly.
On discord there was a small update that the factory could be done with the cases by the end of the week
I'm waiting for my factory to give me the word today!!
I'm waiting for my factory to give me the word today!!
I'm waiting for my factory to give me the word today!!
have there been any updates on how the talk with the factory went? How are people feeling about the buy in general? I never been in a buy that has had difficulty's and wonder what other peoples feels are/were.
The way it is being talked about, I can't help and feel bad for Dave, but how long is a long time for a refund? 6 months, 1 year, 2 years? Especially if we were one of the last to order

Dave is going to be taking out anywhere between a $20K-30K PERSONAL loan after liquidating all his assets to make sure you and everyone else gets your refunds. The guy just got ripped off by some piece of **** Chinese "company." If it takes 1 year so be it.

Just to make it clear, I was not one of the people who charged back. I was simply looking for more information, which was provided. I trust Dave and appreciate everything he has done for this GB
2 things:
1. I never received refund nor did I learn about this until literally 3 minutes ago nor do I want a refund.
2. I just want the board I paid for initially.
Any news since the 17th?
I've been given a "rough" ETA. My contact said he estimates the production done on months end.
Take this lightly - as we've seen from this factory before, we can't really trust what they say 100% but we can trust what my contact says 150% so I do believe him when he says "I think maybe half month"....
. I have some factory pictures to share with you that you guys might find interesting.(edited)
Raw aluminum being smeltered as we speak to finish carving the remaining cases. The raw aluminum comes as you see below, and then is smeltered/melted into long rectangular bricks and heat treated to be prepared for CNC machining. Interesting process, I wish it was local so I could do some more video/pictures in more detail for you all.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just got another round of updates from my contact. These will be the last videos/pics I'll get for a little bit. Looks like all the plates are completed and they're probably about 30% done all the cases. Once I figure out how to get the videos up on discord I will post them, but just know updates are here when he has something to update. They generally (over in china) don't like to give news if there isnt any.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Check out what we got. More accomplishment in the last 10 days than the previous 3 months they have put us through.
60 espectros are done. That’s 60/130. Here’s a few pics!!!!!!
Check out brass plates!! And a box full of raw espectros going for ano!!

Using discord for quick and immediate updates/answers is great, but @JMD you can't expect everyone to hop over there just for updates. By advertising the GB here, you're committing to updating here as well since not everyone is going to join every forum/channel/server that might have a snippet of an update. The updates do seem to be relatively frequent here, so I'm by no means implying that you're slacking in this regard - just be sure to add the big updates here for visibility. :thumb:
That discord link is invalid

To be fair. These were all sent in quick succession since the last update to the thread and I wouldn't consider them large updates. If I had never heard about those updates, I'd have been just as fine for when production finished and he updated me after that.
I only suggested people join the Discord because it's an easier way for everyone to communicate each other.

Update Time. No media.
1. Cases and plates are 100% machined.
2. They are drilling holes into cases and plates as we speak.
3. This will take a day or two.
4. Anodizing happens this week.
5. Shipping (cross ya fingers) happens after the weekend to my QC agent just outside of Shenzhen. Once he inspects everything and gives the A-OK, then he will repack it all and ship it to me.
6. we get OUR DANG KEYBOARDS!

So that update was made 8 days ago on Discord. Did they ship to the QC agent then?
Is it too much to ask of Dave that updates made to this thread also in addition to via Discord? Or has he abandoned this GH thread?
Is it too much to ask of Dave that updates made to this thread also in addition to via Discord? Or has he abandoned this GH thread?I haven't abandoned it - I honestly forget about this place.
Production of Espectro is 100% complete.
Next step. Waiting for everything to arrive to QC. Allowing QC to go through it all with a fine tooth comb and inventory all the pieces. When the packages land at my QC I will update you all to let you know the process is under way. They are shipping it all out to him today. Expect him to receive it by monday.
So we're not through the gates just yet, let's all hope the factory did everything correctly, and missed nothing with no quality control issues.
More news from Dave that makes me hate this factory.
"So I was expecting things to ship. The factory yet again decided togive more bad news. Thankfully it’s minor. Picture incoming.(edited)
One mounting location on every case wasn't milled all the way down. They conveniently didn't notice this until everything was manufactured and anodized.
Furthermore, my two prototypes and my files, do not have that issues. How this came to be is beyond me, my files check out - they are denying responsibility. The only way to rectify the issue is for me to pay them for the work(edited)
😡
Going to add an extra 5 days. So we wont see them shipped until tuesday to my QC. Sorry for all of this. I can't believe that this whole ordeal happened and I can't believe just when we think its finally over something else comes up"
Hey, it's lowest bidder in mainland China what do you expect?:rolleyes:
May I get a link to the Discord server?

Dave, did they fix the issue and get it shipped out to your QC?
That update is pretty exciting honestly. I can't wait, this has been a long rocky road. A lot of ups and downs but I am super excited to get my green ((One of like 2)) Espectro's. Hopefully the other packages arrive before to long. I can't wait to see people building them.We're almost there.
Have these started shipping yet? I hadn't gotten any tracking that have noticed. I might just need to go check thought.They don't ship until I'm done packing.
It exists! Yay!!!Can't wait to see the build pics! Nice to meet you! :cool:
I picked up numero uno today! The perks of being local... I am busy tonight but I might stay up late and put it together, or that might have to wait until tomorrow. Either way, blue Espectro pics will be coming :)
Mine didn't even come with a usable base it was shattered. I do know thought looking at them the screws seemed to be exceptionally tiny.PCB's and Plates etc are coming. Incase nobody has read up on the news - our entire postal system went on this massive strike and there is something like a 6 week back log of parcels to be accepted/sent out. If you're not receiving your extra parts yet, that's entirely nothing to do with me at all one bit. We just gotta keep waiting it out.
I am wondering has anyone gotten there extra PCB they ordered? I heard they were being sent out but with out tracking. Then there was the big post about how slamming the buy or causing trouble would make sure you were forgotten. I don't know if i should expect the extra PCB I paid for or if I should just write it off.

Also give me your order number for the completely shattered base. I don't have any bases without minor chips on the corners, but I got a couple that are actually usable.
