Tooling issues mean more delays, but now comes in Cherry Red flavor too.

Manufacturing phase under pressure
 
We had begun manufacturing the Truly Ergonomic Keyboard and became aware that one of the tooling components did not perform as it should have under pressure, causing some unusual waves in one of the parts.
 
As we have previously mentioned, quality is our utmost priority. Hence, we are currently fixing this issue, and it is expected to be solved within days. We will continue manufacturing your Truly Ergonomic Keyboard as soon as this is solved.
 
 
Soft Linear (MX Red) keyswitches
 
We are manufacturing a small number of keyboards with Soft Linear (Cherry MX Red) keyswitches. These soft linear keyswitches are only recommended for people who will primarily use their keyboard to play computer games, as these keyswitches do not provide tactile feedback and do not provide sound feedback.
 
If you do not play computer games or rarely play computer games, we recommend that you keep the keyswitches you pre-ordered, or consider changing your order to one incorporating either Silent (MX Brown) keyswitches or Light-click-sound (MX Blue) keyswitches.
