Hi All,

Another update! Boards are currently being CNC'd.

Let me know if you're curious about anything else.

Will there be any extras available for purchase? I am really disappointed I missed this buy.

There are 2 extras being made. I'm not sure if I'm going to sell them or keep them at this time.

Hi All,

Another update for everyone. Currently the Tops/Plates/80% Bottom have finished CNC. So we just have a few more bottoms and the Weights before the parts go to anodizing. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks

Hi All,

The boards have finished anodizing but my contact found defects in 1 of the gray boards and 1 of the black boards.  We'll wait for those 2 boards to be redone and then the boards will be shipped to me!

Here are some pictures to tease you a little bit  :p.

Rose Gold:

Hi All,

Looks like the rework happened sooner than I expected and the boards will ship today :).  Also, for the list of people who wanted the arrows layout I have jaymaikan, PandaRooooong, WilySouser, and spiritjeon.  Please PM if you want the arrow layout so I can discuss with you.

Slow down cowboy :cool:. The boards are expected to arrive on Friday.  Then it will be a little bit more time for the PCBs. I have all the packing material, screws, bumpons ready to go.

Hi All,

Currently half the boards are stuck in customs so the entire shipment is being held up until they are released. FedEx has said there is nothing I can do from my end :/.  I'll keep everyone updated and bother FedEx daily :).

Hi All,

Picked up the boards from the post office yesterday and did QC and initlal packing for all of them.

Some problems I want to make you all aware of:

  • 5 of the weights for the left half of the board do not fit properly. I am getting replacements for these. Orders will be fulfilled in the order in which they were placed. I will notify you if you will have delayed shipment.
  • The manufacturer pulled kind of a bait and switch on me with regards to the overall quality of the boards.  The multiple prototypes I have received are flawless from the inside to the outside. The outside of the boards are flawless and look amazing, but there are visible tooling marks on the insides of the boards. Obviously these are not visible when the boards are assembled but I want to make you all aware and see your thoughts.
  • The PCBs are in assembly right now and should be in my hands next week. I will receive them and then flash the QMK firmware and verify all of the buttons are working as desired.
  • The cables are arriving this week

Thanks for being patient with the group buy I hope to start fulfilling orders in the coming weeks!

Do you have any pictures of the tooling marks on the inside? I'm not too worried as long as the outside looks good and that seems to be the case.

Also thanks for the constant updates! Always appreciated from a group buy organizer!

I have attached 2 images.  The part circled in blue is the tooling marks. The silver is my prototype for QXP that has no tooling marks.

Also here is your case as a reward for feedback :).

Oh that's way less than I thought, I can't speak for everyone else but I have no problems with marks like that on the inside :thumb:

And oh man the black looks great! Cant' wait to try it :thumb:
