Hi everyone,

Sorry for the very late reply. I have some trouble with job changing for the past few days. I will finish the current job this week and have 1 free week before starting the new one. So next week i will fully dedicate to finish the remain packaging and ship 80% of orders.
Some have already filed the complaint to Paypal and i think it is your right to do it, since it's been to long for the waiting due to my miscalculated timing.

Again, so sorry for your inconvenience :(

Btw, can you give details about the shipping? Is it express due to the high price ?

Hi everyone,

I started shipping from today and some have received the tracking number. Due to the transport service, it can come sooner or later but within 1 weeks after you received tracking. And please inform me when you get the package safely :D

For some reason I got purple. Maybe I ordered that? 2016 was a wreck of a year ...


Looks nice with the carbon plate though:


Packing was solid, weight came screwed in and all party were packed in a way they couldn't hit each other. I did not find any anodizing defects or dents:

Looks good! Although the original post said the ISO plate would support switchtop removal so that's a shame.

Well it looks like plain square cut outs on the plate so I don't think that'll support it. In the original images, the carbon plate (although not the right size) had the cut outs for switchtop removal.

Maybe its still possible and those are just wider? although than there could be wobble. Wodan, can you check?;)

Just confirmed with wodan. No switch top removal.

The removable plate sample was good, but the final product is not... So i asked them to reproduce and change to non-removable. It  was their 1st time doing this stuff so the removable kinda too hard for them. If you are not happy with that, just leave me a msg and i will find a way to sort thing out :(

You'd probably just want to make sure you used 5 pin switches to give them the extra stability.

Okay just did some checking on the pcb!

Everyone be aware the PCB - at least mine - came in bootloader mode and had to be flashed with the ps2avrGB firmware first!
Then you have to perform ALL MAPPINGS and configure the RBG leds.

I mean this case totally doesn't support any underlight at all but I still wanted them to all work. Three RGB LEDs had a a faulty soldering point that was simply fixed by using a soldering iron and heating all four soldering joints for a second.

So now the PCB looks ready to go!

Zealios are already 5 pin so that's alright.

Ah okay, I'm at work so I didn't have them to hand to check...


Is there any reason that part is so thin? Wasn't like that in the original pics or on the ANSI plate

He must have shipped a few over the weekend/very end of last week. The express shipping is super quick! If ours ship before Wednesday we should have them this week. Wodan is in Germany I believe.

Can you only use 5 screws for the Carbon plate? Seems like the 6th hole was overlooked.

Not yet, but he said he'll ship them mostly 80% this week, as he has time off. Today was Tuesday, so some more days to go.

Got my black one today (eastern USA). Haven't had a chance to inspect closely but at first glance it looks great! Solid packaging and 50 (!) bumpons included for some reason.

How's the shipping going?
How many have been shipped?
You said you would ship 80% of orders this week, what happens to the other 20% if you're starting a new job next week? 

Any communication would be good, I'm sure everyone here would appreciate it. Thanks :)
