Do we have an ETA on extra boards? Or at least an ETA on when the PCBs will be complete?

Hi LD, tried contacting you on your Paypal email but got no response. Could you please check your mail and provide an update on the 2nd round international orders that still haven't shipped. PayPal protection is running out and the lack of communication is getting a bit of a concern.
cheers!

28 August, he said it was in his apartment and he was going to ship them within a couple of days...

And now it is 18 October.. so almost 2 months ago.

I am still hoping my order will be shipped soon.

Hey dude, there was a mixup with Maevy's order - his was supposed to be sent to a Chinese address, but I accidentally sent it to the reshipper with the others.

Yours has been received by the reshipper and it will arrive at your door within the next 7 days, with tracking # in the next 48 hours.

Extras should've been sent out a long time ago, but there are discrepancies between what I'm supposed to have and what I do have both in China and the U.S. I'm working on fixing those and making sure everything is where they're supposed to be in order to send things out because I'm currently missing plates and PCBs here and there. Thanks for bearing with me on this and I'm sorry to keep you and the others waiting due to my mistake in managing the parts.

Just got my ZZ96 today! Little customs charge from DHL but no biggie. Still less than what I have to pay for a board or keyset from Massdrop at half the price! Haven't assembled yet but looks good. One funny thing was that one pair of the rubber feet were not cut so I had to cut them into two myself. Loving this blue though.. Its going to look good with my Dangerzone SA but I think I want to try it with GMK/Cherry Profile. Kind of wish I got in on GMK Hydro now... hard to swallow at $170 though. Maybe I will stick my EnjoyPBT RU Cyan on it and see how that goes.

Hah Skidata is awesome, but I'm not sure the blue is quite right for it. I do have a Sky Dolch, Keyboard & Co and Carbon incoming but not sure any of them match. I think GMK Hydro would look good but didn't buy in and its $170 now.. a bit rich for my blood after buying so much stuff lately.

Hi all.

Unsent orders in the U.S. are currently being sorted. Still awaiting PCBs being sent from China which is also why I haven't put up the acrylic kits for sale yet. They've finally been sent out and are now en route to the shipping warehouse. I plan for them to be shipped as soon as they arrive.

Got a few more international orders out. Currently there are 3 cases that arrived with major damage which I've put in orders to replace out of the group's contingency fund, which is nearly dry. Also, because of this, I've put in an order for custom packaging (for R2.5) and also beefing up my current packaging practices, including additional folds of bubble wrap on each corner of the case as well as foam inserts on all sides. And tape. Never too much tape. This is both because I can't afford to have another case arrive damaged, and because I don't want anyone else to receive a damaged case.

I have four kits remaining to be shipped in my room, one silver, one light gray, one red, and one black. A couple more in the U.S. I have the PCBs with me, but I believe some plates are in the U.S. -_- I'm tallying up the totals in both the U.S. and here so I can see if any plates are MIA. If so, I'm afraid you'll have to replace them with silver.

Bonus update: IMSTO's keysets appear to be nearing completion. http://sli.mg/a/Izj02v

Assembled but looking to make some tweaks and maybe add backlighting. Have 65g MX Clears in there and quite liking them on this board. Has a bit of flex in the plate/pcb up around the numpad area where there are no screws.. I think it would be improved if there was another screwdown point somewhere around there. Also the lowest left side screw hole doesn't line up with the PCB unless I pushed the plate and PCB all the way to the left but then the keys would rub at corners so I couldn't really use it. One of the RGB LEDs had a solder pad that was a cold joint and I had to redo it because it would change colors if you pushed on the LED.

At any rate, still very good bang for buck and a great layout. Very happy with this board. Stuck the Danger Zone SA keycap set on it but not totally convinced. I think I will revert to the EnjoyPBT RU Cyan with GMK Bluegaloo accent mods.
