5. Information

Update Process:
 
After the group buy window ends, there will be bi-weekly updates on this Geekhack thread outlining the fulfilment progress. Even if there was no change since the last update, I will still relay that information in a new update post.

Open Source Plate:
 
After the group buy window ends, the plate files will be open-sourced. If there are any modifications you would like made to an existing file, feel free to reach out to me and I would love to help and make it available together with the remaining files.


I hope you can enjoy this product the same way I did.
I would like to thank everyone that buys this product from the bottom of my heart. Your support and trust are super appreciated and will allow me to continue to pursue further projects in the hobby.
Thanks again everyone for having me.

Approval bump :thumb: and a quick note

PSA to prospective buyers:
Group Buys are inherently risky endeavors. There is an element of risk involved with collecting payment before the item has been produced and resulting uncertainty during manufacturing / subsequent operations. We urge all GB organizers to consider (and document) these risks, and want to make it clear to all who consider purchasing that these risks are present.

If you are unfamiliar with the Group Buy model, please read this primer - Group Buy FAQ / Buying Guidelines (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=77272.0)

This PSA is new and will become standard on all Group Buys moving forward. It is not posted on this GB in isolation and is not singling this organizer out in particular as someone to be wary of.

Thanks everyone for your support. Unfortunately, it is with sadness that I communicate that we weren't able to reach MOQ. As a result, ClackX Alpha production won't proceed.
There was never a clear intention from the beginning to sell this keyboard. It was originally only planned to be a personal project and due to some good feedback before and after the IC, I decided to move forward with the GB.
Thank you very much to everyone who showed his support or submitted GB orders! Refunds will proceed over the next couple of days.

Wish everyone the very best! More personal projects will be coming over the next few months.

Thanks again everyone for having me.
