Thank you everyone for your support. This is a great example of what makes this community so great! For those who have paid, I would just like to re-iterate that I haven't absconded with your money or anything, it's still sitting in my PayPal account. You have my guarantee that if this GB does fail, you will receive back every penny you gave me.
But anyway, another bit of bad news. Tungsten is now also a no go. We had only one person sign up for one engraved Orion tungsten weight. The total for one unit was $865 due to the fact that it was a one off, and it also includes the price for my manufacturer to buy the extra tooling to accommodate it. I wasn't kidding when I advertised $500 MINIMUM. $865 was still doable but after a few extra days to think it over, my one buyer thought better. I don't blame him.
$865 can get me 2 additional Duck keyboards! Perhaps if the weights were all a universal size between Duck's keyboards it would have been a more viable purchase. Perhaps that's something that can be suggested for his Eagle/Viper/Octagon/etc V3 series or something.
