If anyone decides they don't want their MX set, I am interested in your spot and stuff

. Otherwise i guess I will just hope to catch extras... I can't believe i missed this one >_<

Hype indeed! I fell in love with this set and each passing day has me checking this thread for new updates. Maybe some news this week since it is the last week of June.

I really hope that there'll be leftovers in your store, as the DSA Granite doesn't have a 7u spacebar and I'm still on the hunt for a good ALPS set to pair it with my MIRA.

Can't wait to see pictures.

Just finished up building a deck this weekend, and last step is tossing LightCycle on it. Here's to hoping SP will have some good news shortly!

Starting to get antsy. Here's hoping SP actually shipped the caps.

E.E.L. Ambiense · « **Reply #326 on:** Tue, 11 July 2017, 09:54:41 »

They're only like more than a month behind schedule now,

I am too. To distract me on the wait some more, I went ahead and made a USB cable for the deck too. I'm running out of stuff to distract me!

I called SP twice yesterday and left a message and couldn't get ahold of Melissa. I've emailed her and am awaiting a response. Hopefully I'll have some actual news today.

00zeRO · « **Reply #328 on:** Tue, 11 July 2017, 11:20:03 »

To SP's credit, they are not usually late. At least in my experience. My GB is not supposed to ship till December...and they told me this once I placed my order during the first week of May.

evangs · « **Reply #329 on:** Tue, 11 July 2017, 15:16:27 »

SP got back to me. They are currently working on the caps and have no ETA yet. Not sure what's going on over there but that is all the info I was provided.

Oh this does not bode well, fingers are crossed that nothing has happened but they haven't been inspiring a lot of confidence with all their delays as of late. All I hope for now is to get the caps before I go back to school in September.

Thanks a lot for the update

zslane · « **Reply #332 on:** Tue, 11 July 2017, 16:02:25 »

Delays have a way of accumulating. Each set before LightCycle was delayed for its own reasons, stacking one delay upon another. After LightCycle, Dasher/Dancer will presumably get its chance at the plate. That too will probably be delayed for some reason, pushing Round 6 phase 2 out by a couple of months, which will push out whatever comes after that, etc.

It's a miracle that double-shot sets ever get delivered at all. But they eventually do. Waiting (a long, long time) is simply part of the process. I've been waiting since Summer 2015 for my Round 6 "Honeywell" caps, and it will most likely be Spring 2018 before I get them. The wait for LightCycle feels miniscule by comparison.

I didn't think DSA has similar backlog to SA profile at SP.

It didn't at first. Once SA became so backlogged I think people started to move to DSA as a backup, now it's getting bogged down as well. When Miami Dolch dropped in May it had almost a 6 month ETA. This GB was submitted at the start of April, so it was only a month ahead if that is any indication.

zslane · « **Reply #335 on:** Tue, 11 July 2017, 17:46:24 »

The issue isn't the profile, it is the double-shot legend process. SP has only so many machines (and operators) for doing them, and the process is substantially slower than dye-sublimation.

I've been in contact with Signature Plastics. The keycaps are not yet finished which is why they have not yet been shipped to me. They are hard at work completing the order and should be shipping soon.

It might be a smart move.

I certainly want them to expand, but maybe they've considered and realize they cannot keep up with the Chinese price and production. Also, this could very well be the "bubble" of the enthusiast keycap market. I'm not saying I want that to be true, but if it was, investing in a lot of overhead cost might not be wise.

I thought I'd heard SP is expanding a bit (or at least hiring more people), but it's training them that's taking forever.
