UpdatesUpdate 30.11.2021Order has been paid and placed at the factory! I will update bi-weekly every sunday, then switch to weekly updates as GB nears completion.
Update 05.12.2021Orders for the cases were placed few days ago and orders for the Bias Bags was also placed. ETA is looking good despite CNY approaching fast.
For the next weeks I will be busy setting up the warehouse. Will be getting things like storage shelves, desks and equipment for QC and packaging, security measures etc. I'll be posting pictures of the warehouse on the upcoming weeks in my discord for those interested!
For the next update, I'll make a sound test of the alu plate w/ retools and PCB film vs no PCB film comparisons.
And as always, don't hesitate to contact support@baionlenja.com if you have any worries about your order, or just want to ask anything!
Update 12.12.2021Production is proceeding as planned. Our order will likely be made after CNY, but this is something I took into account already.
Lately I've been busy setting up the warehouse. I'm currently in the process of cleaning it and moving in desks, setting up security etc
Update 02.01.2022Happy new year! Holidays and the warehouse have kept me busy, but otherwise things are going as planned. So nothing special to report today.

Update 30.01.2022Not much to update in terms of case production, but I do have PCB updates! Here's
pictures of the official PCB bias will be using. Yiancar has been super helpful in implementing some of the interesting QoL features I really wanted.

- Spare diodes for DIY PCB repair
- Easily accessible reset by removing capslock keycap and using tweezers
- Built in caps lock and scroll lock indicator leds

Update 15.05.2022Anodisation is just about finished. I'll post pictures as soon as I can! Next up is factory checking each board and packing them for freight. After they arrive in Finland, I will QC them myself (which will take some time) and start shipping them out to y'all!

Update 2.1.2023Keyboards have arrived safely!
Now begins the QC process, we're gonna inspect/clean each one. So that means this is the last chance to update shipping address!
