Sorry for the late.
I've known about that post since yesterday.
Yesterday I came in to write an update on geekhack, but I put the update post on hold because there was a controversy.
And I've prepared some to explain that.
The box we ordered arrived at the office on the 16th. Here's a picture, too. It's piled up in the warehouse.
When we sent the package last time, it was damaged. So it's a box that's been custom-made solidly for this purpose.

In the post above, it was actually a rainy season, but did you say that it only rained for a few days. right?

Here's the weather records from the Korea Meteorological Administration.
Based on Korean time, it was recorded that it rained on the 14th, when the original box was supposed to be picked up.
There has been a weather forecast for rain in our area, and regardless of whether it will actually rain or not, shipping cannot begin at the risk of damage to the box.
Yes. We have intermittent showers where our office is located.
So there is a forecast that it will rain, but does that mean it should have started shipping because it won't rain right away?
We didn't spend a lot of money on dampor wet boxes!

We sent DGL Spring first for 13 people out of 660 keyboard orders.
While waiting to receive the keyboard, it was a small secret event that gave some randomly chosen people something to enjoy.
Did you know that we sent those springs to EMS or UPS? We paid about $20 to 40 dollars per person to ship a five-dollar spring to one set.
We sent it to 13 people, and we spent about 600 dollars on this alone.
Also, This is not ready yet, so we didn't plan to reveal it at all, but we were also preparing for the homepage.
https://kkkk.works/enWe started this a few weeks ago. We even registered a PayPal test account.
See the creation date?
If this is a scam, why would there be a reason to spend a lot of money making boxes, spending hundreds of dollars on shipping, and sending Spring first?
We wouldn't have even prepared to open a store to sell the accessories we made.
If this is a scam, it means that there is no need to make any effort like this.

We know that tracking information about sending Spring is suspicious of being registered in PayPal.
But this was for the convenience of the recipient.
Spring was sent in two separate shipments. When we first sent out the spring, we entered the tracking number in PayPal so that the recipient could easily track it.
At first, the shipping inquiry information for spring shipment was entered first, because it was possible to re-enter it when sending the keyboard.
However, the next time sent it out, we didn't enter tracking number on paypal. it because we think someone might be worried about this.
This is the difference between the person with and without the tracking number on the PayPal.
If it's part of a fraud process to get money from PayPal quickly, why didn't we enter tracking information on PayPal from the second time?
We wanted the people who received this to try it on a different switch, or compare it to the other springs that they have.
To be honest, we wanted the recipients to like it and look forward to it. That's why we started.

We received a total of about 150 orders. It's really hard to manage because there's a lot.
We need to check and manage the production going back and forth from the factory almost every day and adjust the factory schedule such as post-processing work.
We know that a large number of orders in the U.S., so we are also preparing manufacturing proof documents to exempt tariffs.
So there is a delay in updates or email responses. The store in preparation is also experiencing delays due to this problem. we are always sorry for this.

It is true that we do not have a good evaluation in Korea. We had problems with our previous GB, and we had some serious problems.
There is also a problem that has been delayed for quite a long time. We are well aware of this and are reflecting on it.
So we fixed many problems and started GB with a new mindset.
We also announced the delay and updated the production status. right, actually the 660 delivery was delayed. It was a packaging problem, and as shown above, I saw the weather forecast and got it delivered on a rainy day. The boxes arrived safely and are now in our warehouse.

We know you're worried. But that kind of post looks malicious.
We're not even that famous. Have you ever heard of the products we made before? You might find it on YouTube. But this is a minority. We've been making keyboards for quite a while, but we're still small.
'Koreans never trust him?' The quantity of GB this time is larger than the number of keyboards we have made so far.
If we've made a huge amount of keyboards, that's right. But most people judge us only by rumors. If the total population of Korea was about 50, it would be true that Koreans never trust me.
Please believe us. We're working without time to sleep. We're trying, and we're trying to show this. I don't know why this controversy arose. It really wears us out.
Delivery will begin from late July to early August for quick delivery, and from September for the rest. This is already announced.
