Dammit, looks like its going to be longer than expected.

"Please be advised that we have got 562 pcs in stock and we are awaiting a delivery from our supplier on the balance. We have received an update from our supplier that the outstanding qty of 1535 pcs will be delivered to us by 18th of August"

Just in time for the GH60 PCBs to arrive.   ;D

No worries, thanks for keeping us in the loop!

I might be able to get them to ship the 562 now if those who want them split shipping. For people who are doing something sooner than gh60.

IMHO it's probably best not to complicate things.

You might have them ship what they have on hand, so they don't sell it to another buyer while the back-ordered switches are on the way...

It sounds like they might split and ship for free. Probably on account of feeling sorry for having to raise the price on me.

If this is the case I have three ideas as for priority, any feedback would be nice.

1. Simple first to order first to receive

2. Based on the project they're used for (would try to get to people who already have pcbs sooner than say gh60 people)

3. Buy priority (if not enough slots bought remainder will go to option 1 or 2). The price raise cost me 200 bucks extra. By paying a part of this, to be decided with your switch count and math, you can receive your switches earlier.

I may have about ~60 left over, I ordered 150 and will probably just use them for an 86 key layout.

I'd be delighted to build a 60% white board with ~60 switches.  In fact, my Poker HHKB-style only needs 57!

Care to share the order?

I would like these for building my LZ-GH, that being said I have no problem paying a little more if it means you don't lose money. Getting switches faster would only be a bonus because I have no idea when I'll have time to build LZ-GH.

So, there are 2000ish of these. That's a lot of counting, so I won't be able to ship them all out at once most likely.

Now, I had to pay Rapid 1160 for all of these. I billed for 923 so far. What concerns me is that that gives me 923 total. Or -189.

I don't like being 189 in the drain, so I'm going to let some of you buy order priority. Meaning that if I can only count so many before I ship, they'll be yours.
I'll try to ship them all asap, and if I can do them all the same day I will. But there's 2000, and it's probably going to be a multi day thing.

I am about 200 down, and ordered about 2000 switches, so it's $0.12 a switch to earn a spot on the list. If you want to be nice and pay more that that to help with possible shipping losses or lack of enough other people buying priority too, I'll throw in something special (handmade, though admittedly worthless). Why not 0.10? Because not everyone can be on it. That would defeat the point. Ask me before you send money because I need to see if there's room for you on the list first.

EDIT- I'm an idiot, my billing included shipping. Shipping is another 110. So make that .16 a switch.

I may be able to perfectly accommodate this, depending on when you need yours.  I ordered 85 for my GH60, so depending on the layout I build I may have exactly this many extras.  Of course I won't know for sure until I build my GH60, so that's less than ideal.

Thank you.  Probably in the next couple months is when I'd be looking to mod one of my keyboards.  I'm far too impatient to wait longer than that.

Shipping out the first set of people's tomorrow or Saturday. The rest next week and possibly some the week after. I'll try to make sure people using them for boards that aren't here yet like the gh60 (exempting people who got priority) ship later, so I don't keep people with pcbs in hand waiting too long.

With that I'd like to mention there is a possibility of a miscount, if you find you are missing any switches shoot me a pm and I'll send the missing ones over in a bubble mailer.

Pretty sure yours are already bagged, wanted to bag two more last night and didn't know who was making what so I just picked a couple. If anyone else ordered the same number I can change the name on the bag, but if not they'll just have to sit around and taunt you ;).

Well, I'm not saying I'd turn them down, if you've got them packed already!   :))

But if you do get any urgent requests, feel free to put mine aside for later shipping.
