Invoice no 10!

I meant chronological order of receiving boards at my proxy, not of ordering.. Sorry if I got you too excited.. The good news is I do have your board at mthe proxy.

LOL! No problem, and WOOHOO!

DillonHightower · « **Reply #501 on:** Mon, 26 February 2018, 22:17:37 »

so any reason only half went out ? Trying to gauge when to expect the lot , if I am not part of the first half..?

Received 58 boards at my proxy. Will start to submit shipping request tonight and invoices will go out once I know the charge. Please double check your order detail and shipping address before you pay.

I really regret not getting a WKL top for my purple Moon.

Excited for this, nonetheless.

This is great news. I'm really looking forward to receiving this board. The pictures of the chinese buy haven't been helping. Unfortunately since I'm away for work for the next 3 months, I won't actually get to build it till I get back, but I'll just take it as a nice little welcome back present.

I was really bummed when we had to choose a new logo, but I actually prefer the new one now (Initially, I thought the two O's looked like plump buns

)). It's neat that there are two editions of this board differentiated by logo.

Does the plate support switch top opening?

Normally I wait till the next day to check if invoices are paid or not. If paid, I'll pay my proxy and they will start to arrange shipping. Normally it takes less than 2 days to get a tracking number.

Now that the finish line looks like it's finally drawing near, just want to say thanks zzyjayfree for keeping everyone in the loop as much as possible throughout. Delays/etc happen, but there's no excuse for the piss-poor communication and resulting fear and uncertainty that so often occurs in these group buys. I've been really impressed with how everything has been handled for this one though.

Have updates stopped on this? I paid early last week and haven't seen any confirmation of payment or tracking number, mostly just want to make sure payment was received OK.

OK great. Was just paranoid that my payment might not have worked since it's the first time I've used my card since getting back from China where I had endless issues.

Couple quick pictures. Looks, and feels amazing!

Stripes were supposed to match the bottom piece, but mine match the top. Anything I can do about that?

swangful · « **Reply #536 on:** Mon, 05 March 2018, 15:28:04 »

Just picked up my board...

Couple first impressions:

- HEFTYYYY. If I threw this keyboard at someone, I'd fear for their life.
- Brass isnt as shiny as I was hoping but still looks good.
- I'll need to learn how to solder the miniusb to the PCB
- I need some rubber feet, any recommendations?
- Case logo doesn't match the new logo, but no biggie
- Feels amazing overall. Lines are super clean. Curves even cleaner.

The board even comes in its own case. Convenient

Unforgivable · « **Reply #546 on:** Mon, 05 March 2018, 17:06:18 »

I just got my Moon today!

Great quality, looks beautiful, however the biggest thing I feared the most came true and I’m a bit crushed/bummed out.

I ordered a Blue Magenta Moon, with the Violet Purple plate (and extras). The sample picture in the original post showed Blue Magenta as Purple, and Violet Purple as a red wine color. I questioned the names, but was told it was most likely due to the language difference.

Opened up my Moon, and bam! It’s a Midnight Blue color, and the plate is the true Purple the case was supposed to be, not the purple shown in the sample picture.

There are pink splotches on the bottom of the board, and a screw wasn’t fastened, so I need to double check for a scratches later. (Gonna try cleaning the slight pink areas).

This wasn’t the color I ordered, BUT let me tell you, the board looks amazing, the quality is superb. I’m just hoping I can at least somehow get the color I ordered.

Not sure how to post pictures like you guys have (I’m on mobile). But I can post an imgur link later.

Overall, you guys will freak out when you get your Moon. It’s pretty beautiful. Quality is top notch for sure. I like it a lot.

Edit: Just in case I didn’t make it super clear, the only thing I’m bummed out about is the color. The quality is honestly pretty amazing. Best I’ve seen, better than Mira too.

I wonder how this will be fixed for you... re-anodization would probably cost more than a new board due to shipping costs involved
if you don't want the board though, just send it my way
