Sorry for the silence; forgot to update this thread for a while
Relaying information from the Discord server:
Shipping status: KBDfans has been capped to around 150kg of shipping per day with DHL and FedEx limitations combined, which is not much at all considering they also must ship quite a few other products in parallel. They are doing the best they can to ship stuff as quickly as possible, but the bottleneck is hitting hard.
Color differences: A few of the colors turned out differently from ideal due to a few factors:
- Factory switchup after GB closed due to the original factory running away, leading to a very rushed switch to a different factory with differing capabilities
- Certain colors that failed to anodize consistently no matter how many times we tried at the new factory, forcing us to different hues
I apologize for misleading advertisements; they were not intended to be misleading and only turned out that way due to circumstances surrounding the switch. In the future, I will try to mitigate this effect as much as possible for any new products.
Extra parts: As of right now, there are no plans to sell individual extra parts, especially since they wouldn't even ship within a reasonable timespan without paying ridiculous amounts for already capped DHL/FedEx shipping. However, the PCB dimensions and plate files have been open sourced.
Screws: I apologize for any missing screws; they were likely accidentally skipped at the factory as they rushed to get the boards out following the delay from CNY and following pandemic lockdown. It will likely take months to ship the screws internationally by a shipping method of any reasonable cost, so if not waiting for the pandemic to be controlled and shipping/international travel to resume, here are the specifications for the screws that may be possible to source locally instead:
Case: M2, 6mm length
Weight: M3, 4mm length
