Still don't have my keyboard over a year and a half after paying $400+...

Basically the cycle goes like this:

1. I PM and email Sprit to get updates on the situation, which he ignores

2. With no other options and as a last resort, I come to this thread and complain in public, which warrants a single placating, bull**** response from Sprit about how the order is all ready and all he has to do is ship it out.

3. No reply for another 3-4 weeks.

Repeat.

Now he's talking about health issues. Well if your health issues are so bad that you cant make a trip to the post office for the package you've "had ready to ship" for over a year, you probably shouldn't have started a massive groupbuy in the first place.

99% chance this is just a scam.

we all are recieving keyboards, I don't know why you still are so salty... I know you had to wait a long time but if you keep being toxic you might aswell get nothing

Hi Guys!

Sorry! It's been 10~ days I have been sick, mainly just tired, low energy.
So the shipping is slow. I feel angry for this.
I am trying to control myself and my time. I will update in a couple of days!

Feel better! Could you tell me the status of my order though? Last I heard it was ready to ship if I wanted to solder diodes myself - which I'm fine with.
Wanted to know what the status is now, after you have had some time.

Good to hear from you in this thread again Sprit! Hope all is well.
Please handle the orders in the order they come in - rather than fulfilling orders received within last few months, maybe start working on orders from over a year ago.

I'm not sure what round it was but I seem to remember one of the PBT GB's Ivan ran there was some sort of mishap with the color of the CapsLock keys. I only remember this because Ivan was adamant that the CapsLock key color will be correct for the currently-in-production PBT GB.

Indeed, the caps lock is nothing wrong. I have two caps lock keycaps, one stepped Cherry style grey, one flat OEM style white as you saw from the pic.

I decided to go with OEM style with centre stem for better compatibility of my caps

I have 2 sets of switches ready and a set of caps. I even changed springs in all the switches.

But I chose to see the fact that Sprit started taking new orders, as a good thing.. Must mean he has extra time available at the moment. Must be receiving a shipping number soon..

I'm more convinced of one of these two things: 1) he's insane--some sort of real life joker (i.e. batman joker), 2) he's trying to pay for the costs of this original GB using profits from other GBs... which is also insane

sprit · « **Reply #3884 on:** Thu, 16 July 2015, 15:53:16 »

To prevent a possible confusion,

These are clear with me :

- R1 & R2 GBs were too big, PCB soldering issues, too many items to create new, to complicated to handle.
- I put the GB funds to produce, posted the pics of each item every time.
- The springs GB started as a part of Main GB R1 & R2, to meet the MOQ and to proxy.
- The small 60% GB started last year, as a part of main GB to meet the MOQ. With the extra request, a small PCB GB was opened recently.
- I expected I could handle all for myself, but I am focusing on the finalizing on the lest of R1 & R2 shipping.
- I would not open any new GB forever, until complete this main GB.
- All are my fault, I would not argue, would concentrate on the remaining shipping.

2nd batch never met MOQ, Never announced it has met.

It would be nice to talk with proper specific facts.

Do not talk with ambiguous assumptions.

By 2nd batch do you mean the one here? https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60887.msg1769506#msg1769506

If so, you said "would not open" which is exactly what you did in that post. Whether or not it reached MOQ is a separate issue

Not sure what "assumptions" you're talking about. I made no assumptions in the previous post

Sprit is technically right.. He didn't open a new GB, he just re-opened the order form in an existing GB

I should have never trusted sprit, he wasn't honest from the beginning...
It doesn't make a lot sense that he keeps coming back promising he will ship the stuff of the remaining people "soon" on a date he can never hold up his promises to. After all this time I don't think I will ever receive anything... maybe sprit already makes enough money if he only betrays 30% of the people and serves 70% of all people and keeps coming back to prevent an outrage. If that is the case may he choke on my money... Maybe he really is insane.

Come on Sprit, what's taking so long? Where's the update?

And more important: How long does it take to pack and ship a PCB? You said you had mine ready for months now, just needed soldering unless I was OK soldering it. I have said several times I was OK soldering it. Yet no response from you for months!

I see people ordering springs in the other threads, and receiving them, all within the last few weeks.. It's a serious middle finger to the people in this thread that ordered over a year ago and still haven't received - nor heard - anything.

Dansor · « **Reply #3892 on:** Tue, 28 July 2015, 09:32:18 »

I'm a bit torn on how to feel right now, as I have every sympathy for Sprit's health issues, but it is a little frustrating to see other orders fulfilled while mine languishes in group buy purgatory.

In any case, Sprit, it has been 19 months since I placed my order. If there's something preventing fulfillment, just let me know and I'll write it off.

Otherwise, I would prefer to do the soldering myself and save you the headache, as I have faith there are legitimate issues causing the delays. I can envision a situation where you are well enough to sort and ship, but not to do the precision work of soldering surface mount components.

Yes, I am trying hard to be positive

It likely wouldn't have changed a thing - when I was asked if I could solder myself, I said yes. Haven't heard anything from him regarding my order since. This was half a year or so ago.

This is unacceptable, sprit is even still online regularly and no signs of shipments...

He should at least react to this thread and tell us what is going on and not some lame excuse again.

I finally want my money's worth. Seriously if sprit was in Germany I would have contacted the police long ago because I suspect large scale fraud.
