ZFrontier put an update announcing the production for KAM Ocean Front starting/happening in August this year. We'll see about that but that's an update.

According to the discord, production has started end of November. R2 of samples has been approved and the box designed (again, all from discord, with sample pictures).

thanks. any reason why this thread isn't being updated?
when designers use GH as an advertising platform, least they could do is keeping the thread up to date.

Saw the comments above, but seems like there's been almost nothing happening as I haven't seen much of any actual updates on this in quite a while.  Has anyone heard anything about when this might actually finish production and get to vendors to be delivered?  If there are answers in a Discord server, can someone send the invite link to that server here?  Thanks in advance!  :thumb:

It seems like the keycaps are in the QC phase (from a user on the discord server who saw a wechat update from zfrontier), so production should be done. No news about shipping yet.
Here's an invite to the server:

I totally agree, I'm sorry.
The project went "on the back burner" with all the delays due to covid.
I lost track a bit, but picked back up the pace again. I haven't heard from zFrontier since 2 months ago, I was told the kit was getting injected but nothing about QC as of yet. will update the post once more is known.

From my last info in December it was getting injected, and the packaging was getting prepared.

I will be online weekly from now on, if there are any further questions just reply here or DM me and I'll try my best to help.

Any idea which vendors will have extras or still have preorders up?

Depends strongly on your vendor. Some of them shipped it already, others didnt pay the order yet and shipping didnt even start.
If sea freight, it might take 2 to 4 months to your local vendor too.

Any insight on which vendors already paid and we can expect to receive from them?

I really wish that Vendors would be a little more forth coming and consistent with updates. The US Vendor, Keyhive, doesn't even have a dedicated update page for group buys. Instead, the 'updates' are on the purchasing page of the item. All they currently have listed is that zfrontier link to their 'progress report' from January of 2022 and a note that says verbatim 'we don't know the shipping date' even though the estimate still lists Q2 2022.

I sent them a message a few days ago asking for an update and haven't heard back yet, but hearing that the keyset is potentially already shipping, being delivered, or in transit for other vendors irks me. I just want to hear something from the vendor. I feel like this has been happening for smaller vendors where bigger vendors have a better handle on proper updates these days (CK, NK, KBDFans, etc). Yes, I know there are apparently messages in the discord for meijiboom, but he's the designer and doesn't control what each vendor does. Even if there was 0 movement, seeing the vendor go 'sorry, no updates at this time' to see even just an ounce of care would be great.

Just wanted to vent a bit because my desire for this keyset has absolutely tanked after waiting more than 2 years.
