Update:Parts are done and should be shipping to me very soon, maybe today or in the next couple days. Happened must faster than expected and wasn't ready for the cost they quoted for shipping($465) so that wasn't a fun invoice to pay. For international orders, the shipping carrier may be different, but I will update later as I am not 100% sure at this moment, if it is cheaper I will refund the extra money paid.
Schedule:
~3-7 days - Parts arrive
1 day - Check volume needed for packaging(can't easily calculate packing volume for the parts so I need to physically test to figure out the best packaging)
1-6 days - Order packaging
~14 days - Pack and ship(due to the number of orders and me being just one person, this will take quite a while as I have to hand count everything)
I hope to have everything shipped out this month.
Thank you all for dealing with the ups and downs of this GB, It has been hell trying to keep it going for so much longer than I had planned/wanted(took a year to finish this project from initial design to shipping). Plus having all of the issues with the mold and manufacturer along with not being able to financially support this beyond the profit and the help of others, didn't make this an easy product to complete.
Many do not truly understand that this wasn't as easy as just half-assedly modeling the slider and paying someone to make it without any effort in-between. I spent months designing this, a couple more doing prototypes and testing with keycaps(Thanks to both pixelpusher and sncbraxsc2), as well as having to build a new computer part way through the design phase when my motherboard went out(2nd time on that old 3rd gen i7). Talking the manufacturer was another hurdle because the reps aren't engineers and sometimes don't get what I was saying, sometimes it wasn't their fault, others it really was and this lead to so much stress trying to deal with the fact they were basically screwing me for months and months. Then when I had to make the mold changes having to basically say goodbye to all of my 2018 income(even had to spend all income from other GBs to help fix this project), it was a very hard decision that I had no choice to make, and some don't give a **** about that, and that is stupid because in order for this to complete I have to be living...
To all those who supported me thank you so much, it helped keep me positive and not wanting to kill people lol.
To all the haters, thank the supporters for me not killing you, you were close, trust me.
FUTURE ORDERS:If you wish to get your hands on R1 of these sliders and housings, head over to TheKey.Company and buy as many as your wallet is willing to give before it moves out on you.
Also if you want a V2 to ever happen, he needs to sell the R1's first, so buy them all quick!!
I also want to thank Justin from TKC as he was awesome enough to help me financially complete this and fix the first issues, without him this project would be in a much worse state.
