Out of curiosity, did anyone end up getting their mini quiet pro? I cancelled my order for the tactile pro after waiting for four months, but I'm curious to see if matias was able to get it together...

Their website is currently saying shipping in July, so you may not be that far off.

I did call them a few times in Feb/Mar/Apr before I cancelled my order. Each time, they told me that it'd be about a month.  A bit shameful that they can't get their act together.

They had major supplier/manufacturing of some sort. Not sure what I prefer - The better luck next month approach or we have no clue approach.

Most likely the we have no clue. At least I wouldn't have to deal with yet another deception 4 months in a row

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

They must be going through some kind of production nightmare. Since they are the sole maker of Alps switches left in the world,  I sure hope they can pull it together!

That is understandable when there is a production problem. However, the fact is they took money from their customers over 6 months ago and the customer have gotten nothing! I got mine but that was only because i went to tigers.com for the matias tactile mini.

Yep - Calling it a nightmare is an understatement. Nobody at Matias will wake up and think "phew... it was just a bad dream".

I actually feel sorry for them. Incidents like that must be quite damaging for a brand.

I would agree, I recently got fed up with waiting for my mini quiet pro that I paid for in the beginning of February.  However, I emailed Barbara and asked her if I could just upgrade to the laptop pro.  She had me buy a bunch of armor clip anchors to make up the difference in price, and then promptly shipped it the same day.  The switches feel great, and don't have any production issues like some of the initial ones did, but I don't know if it's worth waiting so long for.  Maybe try changing your order to one of the other ones they have in stock.  It seems like they want to try and make their customers happy, it seems they just chose some really crappy vendors that they need to rely on.

I already got full size QP. I ordered the Mini QP to also have it in TKL. I know, I know... I'm spoiled

I found it a bit cheap that they made you buy other stuff to match the price diff. Waiting for that long deserve few extra goodies (IMHO).
