What does unlimited for 30s after we hit the 300 mark mean? After you hit 300 boards, the form will stay open only for 30s, and any orders in those 30s will also be let in?

That is what it means From what I've read

So basically, if we're present when the GB goes live, I don't think we have to worry about missing it ...

[lakeboredom]

Did you guys build the proto yet?

[keyboardkrill]

For those who have seen it yet, there is a typing test

[mgh112]

Is the red plate in the IC photos an option? That’s not the FR4 is it?

[Rhodactis]

Going to try to get in on this. First full custom build.

[flying1911]

Best of luck with the GB!

The red alu plate was for the prototype but not offered in the GB.

The FR4 is matte black with gold highlights

Warm up your engines, it's nearly time

[nathanchere]

Its up

[bball2]

Over 1,000 people on the discord channel :-O going to sell out fast! 

[Surefoot]

Got one, the transaction was smooth enough Nicely done.

[JbstormburstADV]

Got one.  We'll see if I can get used to the southpaw.

[mgh112]

does anyone know if the aluminum plate is teal by default?  I didnt see teal as an option in the dropdown menu, just curious

I think teal is default but it does say you can pick out the knob color so maybe you have to fill out a form after all the orders have been finalized? Or is the knob the same color as the case?

I thought as much; i believe the knob matches your case color of choice unless youre adding a brass knob as an add-on

[b4veggies]

Bought!

So excited, now the waiting begins...

[nathanchere]

I ordered two, didn't see the 'only 1 per person' bit on the page until I went back after paying to look at the brass knob option. I guess that's what happens when you have a frantic FCFS sale.

[Ustinj]

done! only GB I've seriously considered in recent time. nice work and congrats on the fantastic run.

[youngki.bear]

Did the GB already sell out? I saw the page earlier but was busy at the time. I'm looking at the site now and there's no sign of the GB page...

Yeah based on the order numbers it sounded like ~250 units got sold in the first few minutes and then it took another half hour for the last 50 or so.

[EyalRo]

Gosh darn it

[Kasterborous]

Thanks for joining everyone!

Updates will be posted here and the discord group!

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

the 10$ charge in my email is also the ~10$ that didn't get added when I selected e-white? I like your board a lot so if that's just the dog sticker here thats fine too.

nathanchere-I got verrrry close to checking out with 2 in the cart myself...

[PotatoTM]

Got in this morning, thanks for and good luck with the GB!

[musdem]

Damn. Didn't get any notification of this at all. I take it there will be no second run and I'm just SOL?

[keyboardkrill]

Join Hex's discord, I think they said there should be some extras.

I'll have to try that, though knowing how my luck goes I will still be hoping for a second run.

[Nhilros]

Oh what the hell. I basically go away 1 weekend and it's gone already..

I cannot get hold of any hardware lately, what is going on. Keyboards, 3080 GPU, PS5, Xbox..

[bball2]

Update from discord (Jan 17, 2021):

CNC has been completed, ano is currently under way

 

[E.E.L. Ambiense]

Rock on!

[Finite]

Gonna need a fat update when extras are ready for preorder, got into the hobby just a tad too late and missed this beaut.

More than 6 months with no official updates here... are we still on track for the "realistic estimated fulfillment date would be around 03/2021 - 04/2021"?

Woops sorry about that, forgot about updating GH.
As it stands, the shipment was just picked up by our logistics partners over in China, so it will take around 2~ish weeks to reach us.
After that, we'll do our best to complete QC and packing within 5 days. Realistically we're looking at an early-mid May fulfilment at this point in time.

We'll announce extras after we fulfill our GB units.

That's still a really good effort at the original timeline. Thanks for the update!
