It's sad that this project has seen so many delays, it would be great to see all these boards getting built eventually.

Who knows if they'll even be buildable when we finally get them.

I'll be amazed if I see the USA packages get shipped before 2016.

To the people involved; I have to change my address for real this time. I wasn't fussed about you not noting down the change when I talked to you about it last time (getting close to 2 years ago now?), but this time we are moving out of the house in Philly, and the wife is going to Norway, so I have to register a new address.
Who is in charge of those changes now?

None of the items that were in the USA have been distributed yet. The latest status was the person who was going to take it over and get things shipping ran into some personal problems.

I would suggest any and all US-based address changes wait until we have a US distributor ready to send packages, and send your address change to that person then.

This. This is amazing. I was laughing my ass off.

Is there any other way to help? I'd offer to help ship things, but I have a tiny apartment, and no idea how to do it. But I really REALLY don't want to see this sink into the inky black depths again. FLOAT DAMMIT!

there is no way to help until the rest of the parts are located and shipped from their current location to a distributor.

somebody supposedly has things that we paid for and they are not making any visible effort to give them to the people that paid for them.

if this was a company holding our goods we would have grounds to initiate a class action.

This GB single handedly killed my enthusiasm for custom keyboards.

If things had gone well, and I received my board within, say, six months of order, I would likely have built it, learned a thing or two, and been ready to move on to something better.

But instead I have just money tied up here that I have to just walk away from, and I will be satisfied with my Cherry G80 until it dies (never?).

hey guys, sorry i havent been very active on this thread

when i get some time, ill chase up and find out as best i can whats going on with US orders

for everyone outside the US

i have pcbs and switches on hand here, id love for them not to be in my hosue so at any point if anyone wants that part of there order that doesnt have it already just send me a pm and ill get it straight to you

sadly for people with orders including plates, mx blacks, or diy kits, i cant do anything until i have them, i am waiting on US stuff just like you guys

when taking this on i had assumed my side of this would be done by now, but whenever the US side of thinks works itself out ill have my side done in a jiffy

whilst im adjusting to having my kid, im a bit slow to reply, and my browsing time is non existent,  so writing to me in threads is a bad idea, but shoot me a pm, itll go to my email and ill be going through them as and when i can

I'M IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING RIGHT NOW, WILL BE BACK AROUND SOON

Thanks Bunny, I know you're not the US organizer but its cool to build up some hope.

Maybe we can get a new address confirmation/change form is put up for the US when that is figured out wth is going on, i can't be the only one with a Address Change and I am worried this will go to my old address. USPS does not forward packages only letters.

Its crazy how long this group buy has been going on, the hype has long passed :(

Still waiting patiently. Holding off on throwing my faulty 6Gv2 out the window while waiting for this.

I've skimmed the last couple pages, and it seems we're (those of us who ordered plates) waiting for plates to somehow materialize? Does someone have them and is busy/MIA, or are they stuck in the production pipeline?

They were produced long ago. ApocalypseMaow had a local shop make them using my CAD drawings, and when TJ paid for them with the group buy funds, they were delivered to TJ. That's the last I heard of the status. They are supposed to be transferred to samwisekoi for distribution, but I don't know where the holdup is there.

So I've been working with a PS rep for the past week and we got on a brief discussion about keyboards, I type on a 104 at work and after talking for a bit I pulled out my TKL to which they asked, have you typed on a 60%. I got quiet for a moment, and just said "well someday I hope to"

there's chatter on the streets that samwisekoi is building his own iron throne from the plates. more at 9.
