I would wait for stabs.  the board will be waiting for Muted anyway.  And my painfully slow process to meticulously build pandastotles.

I would wait for stabs.  the board will be waiting for Muted anyway.  And my painfully slow process to meticulously build pandastotles.

Some of us aren't waiting for muted though

[barelyanything]

I saw mine shipped but I didn't receive any email with tracking number. Is that normal? I know I shouldn't be emailing jchan for it, but I can hardly contain the excitement!

[Atredl]

If it wasn't directed at me, why did you feel the need to quote me?

Wow, I think you need to calm down for a second.

Jchan's response was the one directly above his reply. So even though you were quoted, it was hardly directed to you. Should he have deleted yours so that you don't get quoted? Probably, but i think not doing so doesn't warrant name calling.

[chuckdee]

So Jchan, if you have any extras that don't need sent back for reanodizing are you going to sell them "now", or hold them for the reanodizing boards to come back?

Just wondering if I should stop watching for extras for a while.

Extras will be sold only after I can do another inventory check after I finish shipping everyone who participated.

If you're on the keyclack mailing list or follow on Instagram, or browse rmk daily, you'll be fine with getting a notification or a heads up.

You should make an FAQ at the top of every page:

Q: Where is my M65?
A: I'm shipping them as fast as I can

Q: When will there be R2/Extras available for sale?
A: Sign up to the mailing list to be the first to know.

Q: Any announcements for R2?
A: After R1 is over.

Don't be a ****. "Will you sell some extras now and the rest later" had yet to be asked, because the topic of some boards needing refinishing had just been brought up.

Sorry you took it as a personal attack but considering how many times Jchan has to reply the same thing to questions, my suggestion stands.

If it wasn't directed at me, why did you feel the need to quote me?

Can you just let it go?  It didn't seem like an attack, just quoting you for reference.  And very much needed, I thought, and not just for you.

[mnmlisme]

You know when you feel like everything is going your way?

Well, nothing like knocking ya backwards.

It seems that GMK didn't send me my full batch of stabilizers from a few months ago. I bought 700 2u stabilizers, but it seems I only got 200. I have about 20 left, and have emailed them about getting the last batch, or buying some new ones immediately. I have enough 6.25u and 7u, but without 2u, I'm stuck.

Waiting for GMK to reply. Hopefully they can expedite something.

hang in there. just another bumpy road. hope GMK can sort things out for you.

He doesn't even have the storefront up on the site yet. He's holding extras to canvas, camping, budapest, etc, that need to hit the storefront as well. At this point, I'd take any updates with a grain of salt—just get on the mailing list and hold out for the announcement.

[jchan94]

Don't care for stabs? Or do you not care for waiting?

Stabs ship from GMK next Wednesday, but there is also air freight and customs with it. In any case, QC is still doing done. Cheers.

Mine is already shipped.. just got the FedEx notification  shall I still fill out the form? M65-A-223

[anthonyooiszewen]

Can I just get the stabilizers shipped later with a separate order (I might buy more stabilizers from you when the store opens)? Also, any updates on the M65-A desk mat?

[jchan94]

Here are all the answers to every question that people are asking.

Q: Where is my M65?
A: I'm shipping them as fast as I can. Please wait patiently.

Q: When will there be R2/Extras available for sale?
A: Sign up to the mailing list to be the first to know. Here - https://eepurl.com/coAJ5r ; After R1 ships.

Q: Any announcements for R2?
A: After R1 is over.

Q: Where are the mousepads?
A: They ship with your M65A

Q: Can I get an extra this or that with my order?
A. Wait for extras to be posted

Q: Can I get mine shipped for X meetup?
A: They're shipping and I am not prioritizing any one's for $50, $100, or $200. That's just how I roll, sorry.

Q: Can I get stabs later?
A: Unfortunately, I'll have to say no. I don't like shipping partial orders. That's a lot of upkeep for me.

[kitchenace13]

Keep up the great work JChan!

[forevermadrigal]

Thanks for making the form, I'm sure that's adding a bunch to your workload and we appreciate it

Sweet, thank you for the quick response! I have no idea how you do this.. I would honestly lose my mind trying to get all of those out the door.

After waiting months what's another week? I can afford to be patient for a little while longer.

Should waiters still fill out the form or do people who don't confirm have their orders sent out in full all the same when the stabs arrive next week?

Just to be clear, jchan said the stabs *ship* from GMK next week, and still have to pass through customs.  I would think 2 weeks is probably more realistic

Guess I'm an idiot and didn't check correctly before filling out the form. If I want to change my decision to "ship without stabs" how would I go on about it?

I just submitted a new answer, I guess you can see which one is newer.

Day 4 is done.

Day 5 will be dedicated towards pure QC, and putting units away and documentation to get fixed up a little. Just need to make sure they are actual issues, and clean them up with some 120grit sand paper (jk).

Day 2,3,4 emails will be sent today. Sorry, haven't had a moment to catch a breath.

the UK meetup next Saturday 

Is it this meetup?  https://www.meetup.com/London-Mechanical-Keyboards-Meetup/
I have never been to one but I would love to go.

That's the one! Tickets are still available (we've hired a proper venue this time around) , a bunch of us are going for a meal and few pints afterwards. We've also arranged negotiated discounted rates at a nearby hotel if you want to stay the night. Feel free to join us on the Discord channel, more details available there.

Edit: wait hang on, that's not us. We're here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboardsUK/comments/6mxecu/mkuk_meetup_2_tickets_are_now_live/

Thanks jchan. We appreciate the good work you are doing for us!

Which shipping method is used for international orders? 0496 here - fingers crossed!

[jchan94]

Which shipping method is used for international orders? 0496 here - fingers crossed!

All international should be DHL or USPS Priority International. 90% of people are DHL. If you check your shipping notes in the invoice, it states the shipping method.

News
- GMK is Shipping out Muted with Stabs TODAY.
- Quality Control should finish by Monday/Tuesday for all the boards.
- I have about 40 boards ready to ship from today that just need stabilizers.
- Shipping boards with small anodization issues back next week. They will return in 2 weeks + shipping time. R2 colors will then be announced once they are all back.

Its the Space Gray. The lighting makes it look a bit lighter than it actually is. Here is a pic against the silver base.

So far love it. The build quality is amazing. Picking it up, the weight feels great. I went with Zealio switches which have a clear casing which then causes the RGB at the bottom of the pcb to shine through which turned into a happy accident because I didn't even plan for that. Might have to pickup a new color on R2 to have one at home and another at the office  .

Thank you Jchan and RAMA for putting together a great piece. You guys should both seriously be proud of what you have accomplished together. Can't wait for more collaborations in the future.

[Rumblehotep]

Why oh why didn't I get the brass plate option, these videos are all killing me.
Please say there'll be extras post shipment :X

[nathanrosspowell]

I'm impressed the shipping made it from USA to Canada next day!.. but I wasn't in to collect it  Going to hope I can stay in Monday and sign for it! In hindsight I should have got it shipped to my office.

[jchan94]

Hi everyone,

It's the weekend, but I just wanted to thank everyone for being a good sport about the situation . The stabs should be here soon, and QA/QC is almost done with.

I'm super hyped to see that people are receiving their units. We're about 100 units shipped I believe, and again, I'm trying to finalize QA/QC by Tuesday. It's a lot to go through, but I'm almost done. This will help make the flow of everything go super fast.

Cheers & have a good weekend.

[duynguyenle]

Jchan plzzzzzzzzzz give M65 

[Kavik]

The additional delay in the M65-A is a blessing in disguise for me. I just found out Evangs has MX Lock switches in stock! If I'd already received my M65-A, I'd have built it without them!

Looking at the bright side.
