Who makes gateron switches?

Gateron, of course
Do they have website or contact persons? I haven't seen anything online.

They have an entry in kinda the yellow pages of China......that's about it.

We're taking extra orders pr order additions to fill cancelations. PM Shadovved for invoicing. We'll be accepting orders until either the switches arrive or we run out of extras

Do you have a rough estimate of how many switch of each type have been cancelled? Just to give us an idea of what we should get to help.

Well, we had around 30 cancelations, and a handful have been taken over so far

If you publish the list of the remaining cancelled orders with quantities, some people may get them as they are; well, unless you do not care about exact quantities.

I mean, since the switches are being delivered in bulk, it doesn't really matter how the orders are split up at this point

Very very cool! Are you planning on doing a write up? Would love to read about how you accomplished it and if there are any gotchas you encountered. This will be my first time desoldering/soldering. Nervous but ready.

Trying to figure out what to do with my switches, I may have to convert one of my Das's over.

Or find some boards on eBay with bad switches and convert them... anybody got a Poker or something with bad switches?  :p
