How does this https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/6tq5a0/news_keyclack_temp_store_coming_818_2pm_pdt/ affect the european part of the gb that you have put on hold until keyclack is ready?
Also funny how maxkeys is putting out fixed sets for 78$ now https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/maxkey/products/maxkey-ashen (tbf they got 5 keys less).
That temporary store of keyclack won't affect Lime actually, it's meant for in-stock sales. AFAIK, the current issue only affects GBs and pre-orders.
I've been talking to jchan last night, and he said the issue should be resolved within 2 weeks, Lime EU will wait for keyclack launch, despites I already have the google form ready for collecting orders.
And about Maxkey Ashen R2, that's what zfrontier has been doing I guess? Launching tons of GBs to gain market share..
But yeah, that actually proofs what I've been telling ppl...and one thing for sure, the fixed molds will be available for future Maxkey sets.
I don't really have a problem with that, when we asked for more fixes than Maxkey was willing to do, we talked about paying for test molds for the fixes we wanted and own the molds for future keyclack GBs
But those molds are only limited to a production of ~800 sets, so for the good of this community and Maxkey's future production, we agreed with sharing the cost to fix them once and for all.
And since we're not the only party paying the cost, Maxkey is paying that as well, means these molds will be available for everyone.
If anyone is wondering why Lime is pricing at $100 while Ashen R2 is $78, I hope that they understand that we are also paying for novelties and text arrows which is pricy with Maxkey.
a minor update,
We've paid a deposit to Maxkey for the fixed molds and novelty molds, and they've already started the process of fixing molds and Lime novelties.
Hopefully they will finish that before keyclack and EU launch so that we can get you some pictures of the actual product, but I'll surely keep you guys updated if I hear anything from them about the fixes etc.
