Cool, but a bit of a weird layout, especially for people who are used to using numpad positioning. I see the aesthetic appeal of this, and I wish you good luck

It didn't sell out instantly, there was just a delay before it was showing as in-stock I think. Still open as far as I can see. I went with Black WK.

Super pleased with the design and quality of Equinox. Pwner really did a fine job delivering a one of its kind 40%. Have to pass Jūbi because of BOCC but I still got a question

Quote
Front edge of the top even with the base

does this mean no extra slope in the front?

There was a slight gap that wasn't parallel with the base before.

How is Switchplate Peripherals in terms of order fulfilment? How far away are they usually when it comes to their expected delivery date?
After Modern M0110 and Lumina debacle, I am a little cautious abt participating in GB.

I received an email and text this morning regarding cancellation of my order without an explanation.  Did anyone else receive the same message?  What is the reasoning behind this? 

I was thrilled to be able to join the GB, so this definitely isn't something I wanted to see first thing on a Monday morning...

This was most likely due to the clean up process that they're doing to keep orders organized. I definitely recommend joining the Ion Discord that's in the original post here to get things cleared up for ya.

Quick additional note: As unfortunate as the situation is, none of the defects are major, mostly minor with nothing needing re-manufacturing.  Some parts are just not what we would consider to be a-stock and will need a refinish.

There are extras but I think at the moment there are more requests for extra pcbs than we have available.  If the demand is great enough to warrant, we can probably arrange another small run.
