Drop Holy Panda X Mechanical Switches

Mar 23, 2022

Good news: Production was completed early. Good news: We readjusted our deliveries to move our internal keyboard switch allocation (for Icon series production) to retail package units so that we'd have more switch packs available. Bad news: COVID-19 delays snarled freight transportation across China creating massive delays. Good news: We managed to air-freight all of the switches via an indirect route (both 5K batches) to avoid the congestion. Bad news: It cost an ungodly sum of money to air freight that many switches. I hope they were served caviar on the plane. Good news: The switches are currently sitting at JFK airport waiting to clear customs, get picked up, and then get delivered to our warehouse in New Jersey. Good news: Assuming everything goes smoothly, we should start shipping Holy Panda X switches next week, which is two weeks ahead of the original schedule. Note: 8,700 of the 10,000 kits have been sold. The next batch of switches will be arriving in about 6-8 weeks (depending on COVID19 in China, etc.)

KevinI want you to know that this level of communication is so appreciated! I feel a part of the journey, and it emboldens me to your mission. Thank you for being an inspired brand. Now if only we could get you to print all keycaps in Cherry profile… sorry MT3 fans.
