Okay here’s what I have as an update for y’all:

- slurp is getting to the front of the queue
- keyreative is making new samples of all keysets with their new machines
- the area where keyreative is has now entered lockdown yesterday and the factory is working at reduced capacity, not sure for how long
- alex was going to take delivery of the new samples this week but at this point it's unknown when they'll be sent
- the new colour matching should not be problematic for slurp, it's harder for sets with lots of grays in them

Also to note, zFrontier is in Shanghai which has been in lockdown for almost three weeks now so sending and receiving samples etc. is not easy. I will try to get a more detailed answer to what "front of the queue" means as far as production timeline.

Lastly, samples for deskmats have been made and I have received them. They look great and have been approved. I will post photos of them shortly.

Excellent design.

"Front of the queue" means a lot less when at least 3 KAT sets I'm in which should have already shipped according to Keyreative's schedule (Hyperfuse, Iron, Atlantis) have shipped between few and absolutely no orders yet.

See below for TKL sample received on 6/2/22. Photos were taken with iphone, one under direct light, one at my desk with crappy lighting, and another taken outdoor not in direct sunlight. Let me know what you think

Note: the R key was not in the samples as well as some bottom row keys. The R key is GMK Deep Navy for reference I guess

Any updates? It has been another 4 months

According to Keyreative on their Discord server, "Delivery by schedule date" (source).
From the same Discord server, schedule date is July 31st (source).

Keyreative told us (our vendors and I) that they have confirmed shipping will be in August and they will try to ramp up production to shorten the delay.

We should be getting close to shipping now?

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #64 on:** Fri, 04 August 2023, 17:27:31 »

That's right. Scheduled to ship out towards the end of the month, hopefully earlier.

Confirmed from Alex at Keyreative that the set is in production at the moment!

Very minor kitting change to Ergo Mods. Keyreative caught an issue with the Neon Tilde/Back Quote and Dash/Underscore keys. The legends were hidden in the AI file. Keyreative and I have fixed this issue by doing the following: Tilde/Back Quote and Dash/Underscore legends will now both appear on the key (in blue/pink) be centered to match the rest of the ergo set.

nathanchere · « **Reply #67 on:** Sun, 17 September 2023, 11:32:28 »

Still shipping in August?

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #68 on:** Sun, 17 September 2023, 22:50:33 »

Being packaged up as we speak, so shipping to vendors in the next week.

warini · « **Reply #69 on:** Thu, 19 October 2023, 08:12:25 »

Shipped to vendors?

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #70 on:** Thu, 19 October 2023, 15:34:16 »

Yes, shipped to vendors as far as I know. We received ours at our forwarder this week so i'd expect arrival in November/December.

Are there any plans to address MKUltra shutting down? https://old.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/17m0vl4/psa_mkultra_has_shut_down/

twoshoes · « **Reply #72 on:** Tue, 14 November 2023, 17:20:47 »

Update on US orders and the MKUltra situation:

Unfortunately MK Ultra has been radio silent in our (myself, Keyreative, zFrontier, customers, etc.) attempt to understand what is going on. MK Ultra had promised to deliver on Slurp (and other group buys) before officially closing doors (last message I received from MKUltra was 9/24/2023 stating this). In speaking with Keyreative/zFrontier there does not seem to be a way forward with MK Ultra. Currently, zFrontier/Keyreative is offering Slurp at a heavily reduced price with free shipping if you made a purchase of Slurp if you order within the following time period Nov.13 2023 - Feb. 28 2024. Please see this form for further instruction https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeW4XX0x649HCaMUW6j0eaWTSRDvJAQWavAfJolcpaB5jLE1g/viewform.

This situation really, really sucks. I apologize to every customer that made a purchase with MK Ultra and may not receive their product. I am exploring further options with the other vendors of Slurp to help those customers that have made a purchase with MK Ultra that may not receive their product.

The keycaps supposedly were finished and shipped months ago. Has anyone received anything?
Can we get a definitive statement, are the keycaps on their way?
We are coming up on 3! years now since the GB ended. At some point this becomes ridiculous.

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #74 on:** Thu, 04 January 2024, 15:19:29 »

They're here! in-stock now

Did you order from MKUltra?
Because I have some bad news for you.

Dang I just got into mechs again recently after growing tired of topre (after 8 years lol). DSA being my fav. Well I built a bauer lite with KAT atlantis and absolutey love it #1. I missed this entire debacle 3 years is insane. I went to switchkeys though and bought what I guess are extras that were in stock and they were 40% off for 40%s day. After conversion I paid $62 dollars for the caps and 20 dollars for shipping to the US. That's about half of the $155 I paid for Atlantis. Anyway I still think it's too good to be true and https://www.switchkeys.com.au/ is down right now (although I read they're super legit) but I just wanna say thank you to all you nerds. I only found this set some months ago and I got it for half off! It matches the color of my water in my case. Thank you groupbuy early adopters such champions so brave

edit:
Here are some pics of the set if anyone cares: https://imgur.com/a/E9FS0qo
