[jchan94]

Hi everyone,

sorry i've been missing these past 3 days. After seattle, I got sick. Looks like a few others that I hung out with also got the sniffles.

In any case, feeling 100%, and all the shipping starts tomorrow.

I'll be emailing tracking to people manually. Cheers

Hi everyone,

To clarify, we'll be planning our r2 after we finish this. With the response from the community, we wanted to make sure that people who wanted the m65a, are able to get one. By mentioning it, I want to try to assure people that they'll have the opportunity to have this beautiful keyboard.

This lead me to start pondering on at least the colors we want to offer for the second round, and that's the only thing we have set for now. There is no timeline, just a general idea of a plan, such as streamlining our logistics to have a faster turnaround.

In any case, alps and such, might be included, but it's uncertain. The greatest thing about customs is that you make it your own, and offering the alps option, would be fantastic to help you achieve your personal board. We don't have any reworked electronics for it currently, so keep this in mind.

Colours? Don’t leave us hanging dude!

Today is a tad slow. I'm starting to see the process at which I need to work at and optimize my day 2 and onward.

[Atredl]

First M65 on the list! 

Thanks Jchan! Really excited to get this board built. It'll be my first heavy board so this it going to be a treat.

[jchan94]

Day 1 is over. I'll email everyone their tracking codes tonight.

They get picked up by FEDEX on Monday, as I scheduled a pick up with them.

Cheers.

Again go here to see if you made Day 1 - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=86756.msg2332902#msg2332902

edit:

I will note that this was a little slower than usual. I know a better way now how to get through everything, and will be proceeding with that

[pr0ximity]

So excited to see this moving along! Thanks for all the updates jchan, you're quickly becoming the model I compare other group buy runners to.

I'm trying to have this 100% out by next Friday .

My sister was like "So Joseph, when are you going to get rid of those boxes in the back?"

Response: "I'm working on it. Trust".

Sister: "So like 1 month...2 months...?"

Just sent out an email to people, but I'll make this posted at the top somewhere...

Holding a small little "contest" for a DIY guide for the M65A

How you'll be chosen:
- The quality of the guide (photo quality does NOT count, as I'm aware that people do not have high quality cameras). Quality of the guide means, description, how in-depth you go describing the process, or tools, and parts you use.
- Personalization: How you added your own personal spice the guide. Whether that's jokes, or memes, whatever it is - Make it yours & own it .

This contest has me stoked! Great little project for me to focus all the hype I've built up into, plus the rewards are exactly the extras I was planning on buying.

P.S. M65-A-163. Jchan pls.

Holding a contest for best DIY guide is a dope way to make to make sure your product is well received and understood. I missed out on this buy but have stayed subscribed to the thread anyways because of the amazing vibes in here, mostly due to jchan's impeccable handling of this group buy. Never seen such a positive GH thread. Stoked to see all the pics of your finished boards!

[Nonster]

Today seems like a great day for the number 376 

[eksuen]

Step aside, ya'll. 229 in the house.

[lunr]

In terms of retail price when the extras kits goes up, how much more will it be compared to the GB price? I know it's probably early or been asked somewhere in the thread probably but I just want to gauge the cost

Jchan has said before in this thread that will be revealed at the 72 hour mark.  He hasn't had the chance to figure it out yet.

[stoic-lemon]

I'm in it to win it! When I get my board of course...

[yqliang]

I missed the GB and I am amazed at how beautiful the design is. Also jchan's great execution is top notch. will definitely get in R2 if not able to get the extras. I would love to see a military green / olive option for R2!

Matte military green would be sweet

yes! (skipped the military green on the Moon TKL for light gray since I wanted some moon-surface look, but I'd be so down for military green on R2 of this)

I haven't missed the R2 of this beast, have I?

Lol no, we're waiting for R1 to ship

[jchan94]

Sorry gang. Friday was an old friend's birthday gathering, and I just couldn't miss it. He's going off to Pharmacy school at UCSF, and about to leave in a week or two, so this was our last chance to hang out before we see him off.

Day 2 is today, and I've gotten through a good chunk today.

I expect 80-90% of this GB to be done by Friday. The last 10% is the almost always the worst part of ANY GB, so I'm sorry if you fall into that. Cheers.

[duynguyenle]

Was hoping mine would get here in time for me to build and bring to the upcoming UK meetup, but alas, looks like that's not going to happen

oh cool hahaha well hang in there for those who are in R1, can't wait to see in-hands photos. meanwhile, I'm hoping I could get my hands on one during R2. give me some time to collect the funds as well while you guys finishing R1.

Out of curiosity, why do some order numbers have letters?

Additions or modifications to existing order I reckon

If it has a letter at the end, that means someone cancelled that invoice, and was refunded, then it was resold. So some have C, some have B.
