to answer a few questions about the sorting
originally we had planned to have them pre sorted, not in to silly plastic trays but just in to sets
a couple of things happened, we got a large vendor order, and they wanted their sets unsorted to save a little money
secondly, due to the success of the buy, we were able to add extra keys
when we were throwing around ideas for what to add, lots of people had very strong opinions
please remember when you say about a couple of extra keys, that isnt the case, we completely separated ansi and iso rather than having the front printed, that is a large amount of keys, we added some nice aesthetic keys, we added hhkb, 1800 and 75% support, none of which i use on an mx board, but did so because you guys wanted it, in order to please as many people as possible
now when adding 600+ of all these keys, the price added up, so we sacrificed a luxury like pre-sorting, now, this adds a very small amount of time to the end user, but adds a ton of extra work to us, which we were willing to do, to make this set as good as it could possibly be for you guys, just because you may not appreciate the extra keys and extra work we are putting in, doesnt mean others dont, remember, this set and the logistics of this gb werent planned for only you
yes some TA sets are shipping, but these are being shipped from a massive fulfilment centre, not one guy
there are pros and cons to all ways of doing buys and drops, TA is gonna come out a little faster, but the buy was very rigid, nothing could be changed or added despite it hitting huge numbers etc, this may take a little longer, but we did our best to be flexible, listen to feed back, and add keys that will genuinely make this set both more aesthetically pleasing, as well as functional and compatible with more boards in the future
thank you to everyone waiting patiently
