Update 21/03/2023

- Manufacturer payment sent, manufacturing for cases to begin ASAP!

- Hotswap PCBs likely to be made. Please continue to fill out the form in ⁠announcements if you're interested, placing "EXTRAS" in the order number section if you plan to order one with an extra unit after GB units ship.

Additional updates will be given by regional vendors.



Update 29/03/2023

Hotswap PCBs are to be added to the production queue.
Confirmed 20-25 units to be made, sold post GB as in-stock items.

Manufacturing estimate from factory - Around end of April
(Blueberry Base Kits) (edited)


Update 7/04/2023

Lots of machining. From counting, around 25 cases were machined, incl. brass weights
Pending some factory photos when we can get those first finished batches done


Update 8/04/2023

Almost 33 cases have been manufactured thus far. Not much to update during this stage of production, but we'll start releasing updates more often once we have more than 110 cases machined. As we don't want to interfere with any cases until they are finished, pictures won't be provided until the sandblasting and anodising steps are completed.

Thanks again everyone, looking forward to smooth production and fulfilment of Blueberry in the upcoming weeks.   


Mini update! Cases are halfway in anodization and sandblasting. Here are a few example extras for reference.

[attachimg=1]



Smoother finish appearance achieved through increased sandblasting grit. Apologies for the video compression

[attach=2]

Note: These are sample units, customer units are not used for videos.


New magnetic packaging boxes are in! Made to be much more durable and reliable than the V1 box. Here's the new box you'll receive units with.

Yes, these issues have been addressed with an extensive QC process including an allocated period prior and subsequent to the manufacture process for ironing out any quality issues. Unfortunately, this was a shortcoming of our prototypes and will not be present in GB units.

Are feet now included with the base kit (some reviewers claim their unit did not come with any feet). Not a big deal but would be nice to know everything that's included

EDIT: Nvm. saw the latest prototype video a few posts above. Feet cutouts have been made so it's safe to assume feets will be included.

Had followed this board a while ago and always liked it.

Any reason why e-white top / electric blue bottom isn't a thing?
Or even full electric blue? electric blue top / PC bottom?

I would have liked to go for one of these combos (especially full electric blue or electric blue top / PC bottom), but I am a bit puzzled on why they aren't offered since all these colors are being made either way so it shouldn't add much complexity.

I feel that electric blue (as well as the blue PVD) are some of the highlights of this board for me being very unique in a sea of black, white, silver, red, navy boards.

Just a bit of a shame that there is only one option for that electric blue and it's on the bottom of a black top board.

The colors chosen were based off a community poll. Due to logistical reasons, we had to restrict the colour combinations, and our polling showed that the numbers for these combinations were much lower.
We will consider emphasising lighter color options in the future.  :thumb:
