Quote from: gok101 on Mon, 12 August 2019, 14:21:58There has been a lot of unfortunate developments with regards to the manufacturer. I've since dropped usin Matrix lab for the manufacturing because they aren't able to process either stainless steel or PVD brass to an acceptable standard so that has put a 6 week delay on things. I've already paid for prototypes with a different factory and the lead time is estimated to be between 2 to 3 weeks. One positive from this is that the new factory is very professional and has good communication. I've used them before for manufacturing some brass Chiwi60 bottom pieces and the quality was top notch but I wanted to give Matrix lab a try because of their reputation.Too bad to hear about things not working out. Hopefully things work out with the new/pld factory.Tough to watch other IC's going into GB's and resisting them cause I love this board.This puts me in a tight spot though cause I'm moving back to Canada from Japan near the end of this year so depending on when the GB happens and how production goes, I may have to change my shipping address or something. Any ideas if this will be problem gok?

Anyway, I think it's awesome that you're taking time and being picky to the point that you're moving manufacturers. That tells us you aren't willing to take chances. That attitude helps us feel better about taking a chance on your board. Looking forward to updates. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Could we get a render with 8008 before the gb ends?

Indeed a lot of renders, but not that much love for SA keyset :/ .. I’m not fan of GMK feeling while typing

Ahah I saw, one for how many gmk ? The ratio is quite hard !
Just making sure, this GB hasn't been started yet right? I'm interested in this but not sure if its already ended or just haven't start.
Do we have a price estimate?
Will GB happen in September or October?
Quote from: nasp on Mon, 12 August 2019, 13:57:20What's the latest on timeframe and vendor for GB? Also, has the prototype arrived now? Considering how long it's been, I'd imagine it has but perhaps there was a holdup. ThanksThere has been a lot of unfortunate developments with regards to the manufacturer.
