Switch Counting Day Update and Question
I'm in the office on a Saturday counting and packing GH60 switches. As of this moment (11:46am my time) I have all the switches counted and packed for the US proxies EXCEPT MX Whites and Clears. That is the good news.
The bad news is that during the endless months and hand-offs from person to person this project has undergone, I have fewer MX White and MX Clear switches than are required by the orders the US proxies are going to try to fill. I am very slightly short on Clear switches, but very short on Whites. Probably 5-7 keyboards worth.
I have a few options:
1. I could ship what I have, leaving the proxies unable to fill some orders.
2. I could wait until someone who isn't me locates the missing switches, if they exist anywhere. This delays everyone's orders further.
3. I could fill the gaps with the closest available switch types. Probably Browns for missing Clears and Greens for missing Whites.
4. I could ship everything except Whites and Clears; the proxies could ask everyone who wants those switches what they would accept as a substitution, and I could ship the balance of the switches as soon as that was decided.
5. Something else I haven't thought of.
Since everyone wants their order, my inclination is to go with option #4 so that the majority of orders can be filled sooner rather than later. I think getting some of the orders out is better than getting none of the orders out.
For now, I will go count stabilizers (yay!) and then check back here to see if anyone has replied with a brilliant suggestion. If not, I will proceed with option #4.
TL;DR We don't have enough White and Clear switches. If this affects you, please reply here with a suggestion.
In other news:
Non-US Orders: Neither Bunnylake nor I have details about what I should send him. Both of us are willing to get these shipments under way, but we don't know enough to do so. If this annoys you, please yell at someone who isn't me, Bunnylake, or Matt3o.
DIY Kits: I have all of the tiny parts, but I am not at all certain what I should do with them. In particular, the controllers probably require special handling. I purchased anti-static bags, but I am not sure if that is sufficient. Also, the best guess I have so far is to use the BOM from WFD for the kits, and who knows if that is correct!
That is all of the news from GH60 - Salvage Mode Central for the moment.
Cheers!
