kingnestea,
Please consider having the box/tray as an option. Maxkey Ashen shipped in these boxes, from Shanghai(zFrontier) to US west coast for $9, very reasonable I think.

That's what I'm considering, provide an option for shipped in tray with additional cost. Maxkey just confirmed they can ship that separately, a certain amount in bags and another in trays.
So I think that's probably what will happen. But we need jchan to confirm.

Edit: It's confirmed we will provide the option for shipped in tray with additional charge.

Keyclack has a lot going on right now so I'm not surprised.  JChan is a one man QC and shipping machine right now trying to wrap up the M65-A GB and I've seen him say in a few different places that the new storefront for the website is having a lot of problems which is why it hasn't launched yet.  I'm sure we'll get official word from JChan or Kingnestea but I doubt that they'd let the GB run out on the 16th without saying anything.

Thank you! Really appreciate the great work getting this set to fruition.

This is exactly what's happening, mainly, it's the problem of the keclack website that's holding the launch. But no worries, it will be on keyclack and you will have enough time to get on board.

Take the time and get it all working, but can't wait for this to come along  ;D

Good to hear. I really don't mind the extra wait considering the issues that are getting fixed this time around.

Absolutely gorgeous set, I'm very interested, especially with the glossy finish. That way I don't have to worry about shine lol.

How does this https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/6tq5a0/news_keyclack_temp_store_coming_818_2pm_pdt/ affect the european part of the gb that you have put on hold until keyclack is ready? 
Also funny how maxkeys is putting out fixed sets for 78$ now https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/maxkey/products/maxkey-ashen (tbf they got 5 keys less).

That temporary store of keyclack won't affect Lime actually, it's meant for in-stock sales. AFAIK, the current issue only affects GBs and pre-orders.
I've been talking to jchan last night, and he said the issue should be resolved within 2 weeks, Lime EU will wait for keyclack launch, despites I already have the google form ready for collecting orders.
And about Maxkey Ashen R2, that's what zfrontier has  been doing I guess? Launching tons of GBs to gain market share..
But yeah, that actually proofs what I've been telling ppl...and one thing for sure, the fixed molds will be available for future Maxkey sets.
I don't really have a problem with that, when we asked for more fixes than Maxkey was willing to do, we talked about paying for test molds for the fixes we wanted and own the molds for future keyclack GBs
But those molds are only limited to a production of ~800 sets, so for the good of this community and Maxkey's future production, we agreed with sharing the cost to fix them once and for all.
And since we're not the only party paying the cost, Maxkey is paying that as well, means these molds will be available for everyone.
If anyone is wondering why Lime is pricing at $100 while Ashen R2 is $78, I hope that they understand that we are also paying for novelties and text arrows which is pricy with Maxkey.

a minor update,
We've paid a deposit to Maxkey for the fixed molds and novelty molds, and they've already started the process of fixing molds and Lime novelties.
Hopefully they will finish that before keyclack and EU launch so that we can get you some pictures of the actual product, but I'll surely keep you guys updated if I hear anything from them about the fixes etc.

Jchan said it would be available as a "pre-order" of sorts, but with "gb pricing".  sounds fine to me.

That was in reference to GMK Muted, not this Maxkeys GB.

I didn't catch up that. But I'll talk to jchan and see how we can arrange that GB ASAP, the best way to keep updated is to sign up the keyclack mail list

Still waiting for jchan to confirm the launch date.
But one thing for sure, this delay of launch will not affect the estimated ship date because things are processing at Maxkey.
We're looking at Oct. - Nov. now.
