Last estimate given to me was in March. If there are known delays I’ll let everyone know here, but so far it seems to be smooth going.

im assuming you mean the last estimate you got was that it would complete in march, not given to you in march, which is exciting

Cannon Keys and protoTypist both say ETA Q2 2022

Gondolindrim · « **Reply #54 on:** Fri, 11 March 2022, 19:50:53 »

Is the March ETA still feasible? The GB updates havent changed for a bit

I have only just received an update from SP

> SP is still waiting on materials to begin production due to supply shortages. We are still aiming to deliver by the end of Q2, and will keep you updated as new information arrives

I was not aware, but alas, the Q2 timeline is still doable apparently. Fingers crossed its sooner rather than later.

Well was hoping to have it by now but I understand things take time. Maybe June then?

Last update was July. When quoted it seems the shortages were not being taken into account. I too wish I had sets now

Seems like a lot of SP sets are delivering in July if that is correct. Their logistics are gonna be so packed.

paulgali · « **Reply #61 on:** Thu, 09 June 2022, 00:19:16 »

Signature Plastics ran into an issue with the 2u relegendable and told us yesterday about the issue.

They cannot make the mold as they would a typical backspace (3 stem). Instead, they will be using what is typically found in a POS board - IE, 2 switches. This will fit on your split backspaces without a problem.

In case anyone missed the email, there will be a 5 week production delay to to a "manufacturing issue."

paulgali · « **Reply #63 on:** Wed, 29 June 2022, 09:46:17 »

To anyone who didn’t get an email..

There has been a manufacturing mistake. I spotted the issue and reported to vendors, as I intend to deliver in what was shown at the time of GB. Each vendor has taken the necessary action and been extremely helpful in sorting this out

-There was an issue during manufacturing process
-Vast majority of sets need to be remade
-Estimate is 5 weeks from now to be done
-The set is currently SP's highest priority

If I have another update, I will share it ASAP. I’m playing with the cards being dealt, I assure you everyone is doing their best to get this out as quick as we can.

Thanks for keeping a close eye on this and making sure we get the best possible product!

If the sets were made with the incorrect font (aka Cherry), then I'm sure some people would love to help with that...

Yes, a truly terrible mistake. I would love to help take one of those off your hands if they are scuffed this bad.

my guess is that that was not the issue but it's fun to dream. we'll probably find out when the crap bags go out in a few months

BIG UPDATE (October 7th 2022)

As you’re all aware, I had previously announced during the group buy that all sets were being remade. Here’s why; sets were being manufactured with the Cherry typeface variant, not Gorton as I had originally intended.

Having spotted the issue before Signature Plastics had shipped out the sets, I insisted sets be remade in the Gorton fontface as I originally intended.

Customers should receive what they paid for – and thanks to all vendors involved, we were able to get this done. As far as I am aware, most, if not all GB orders have been shipped. There are still one or two vendors yet to process orders but these should be getting to you shortly. Now, for the Cherry legend sets.

These will only be available through Cannonkeys, MyKeyboard.eu and SandKeys.me. Quantities are limited. This includes both the MX and ALPS base, extensions and row 5. Relegendables are (obviously) not included. Pricing is available here (the extras will drop when the vendors are able to release them).

Kitting is identical to the original IC sets.

Please head to the CK and MKBEU discord for questions and further details, they will be happy to assist

Dream big. Maybe they will become a reality

Sidenote: Thank you everyone who participated, and a huge thank you to the vendors that supported this GB from the very start. As for the community - thank you, this set wouldn't exist without you all.

Happy Thocctober

Seems like in the end it was all a happy accident. Looking forward to some pics of it and maybe a new keyset

Thank you for the alps set, going to be great to receive and use in a build.
