The previous update that I posted on March 12th is here. Since then, production has slipped a bit and the new date they have provided for "manufacturing being completed" is March 29th. So as of now, things have slipped by a week and hopefully no further. Will aim to give you another update once production is complete and we have confirmation that the cargo is loaded on a plane. April 2nd Update: These are done and being transported to our warehouse in NJ.

April 9th Update: These have arrived in our warehouse, we're receiving/unpacking/inspecting and will be shipping them out- likely early next week.

April 10th Update: Just wanted to let you know everyone will also be receiving a RAMA Works Remedy Spinner in the box with their order.

April 14th Update: I'm told these should be shipping out on April 14th OR April 15th. We're almost there folks.

April 15th Update: I SEE TRACKING NUMBERS! They're hoping to get these all done today, if not, some may spill into tomorrow.

April 16th Update: Everything is shipped, except two orders. Looking into why they're stuck. The extras will be available for sale on the site later today, or tomorrow 4/17, and they will ship in about 2 weeks.

April 17th Update: All of the Laser Alt Keyboards are missing special homing row keys. Those from the original groupbuy that have already had their orders shipped, we will ship you an additional package with the missing keycaps once Signature Plastics sends them to us (approx 1-2 weeks). Those that joined the buy to grab one of the "extra" kits on April 17th, your order will be held until we have the additional keycaps and everything will ship at once. We've temporarily paused accepting orders until we get the replacements (there are still extras left and they will become available for sale once we get these shipments sorted out. Hit the "request" button to make sure you get emailed once the product arrives. Link to Yanbo's post here.

April 20th update: No definite answer on barebones orders and their ship date. All orders, site wide, are currently delayed by 4+ days. We are doing our best to get orders out the door, but also we’re doing it as efficiently as possible. Shipping all of the ALT orders at the same time is more likely than splitting them, but we will see based on how backlogs and staffing levels go. If you’re unwilling to wait, you can cancel your order on the “My transactions” section of the site.

April 27th update: The FJ homing key fix kits are scheduled to arrive at our warehouse tomorrow, April 28th. Assuming all goes smoothly, we'll be shipping the fix kits, as well as the incremental orders (barebones and keycaps) on April 29/30th. Assuming all those shipments go smoothly, we'll re-open the run for new purchasers around May 4th. Hit the "request" button to make sure you're notified when things are back online.

May 1st: "Assuming all those shipments go smoothly" ... famous last words. I'm being told (again) that they'll ship today.

May 1st: Part 2. Store orders from the latest round didn't get sent out today, but now I'm being told they'll ship out on Saturday (May 2nd).

May 3rd update: looks like the Saturday shift at the warehouse didn’t happen; but a Sunday shift did. I see tracking for your orders in the system. Should be good- finally.

May 7th Update: Unsticking this thread as all of the shipments and updates have been resolved.

pattersI’ve heard a bunch of people ended up canceling on the board because of production time, I’m pretty sure this thing was supposed to ship at the end of last year if I’m not mistaking. I’m sure there will be atleast 10-20+ extras maybe even more but I am not 100%

loveurself1103For some reason, MechCables cables don’t have enough wattage output to power Drop’s keyboards. Which is weird because most people who buy the cables on Drop are probably going to use them on Drop keyboards...

GnarlsBailey@fer.real Email had some generous buffer time built into it... People who pre-ordered the ALT (many moons ago) should have had their F/J homing key fix kits shipped to them today. People who ordered the ALT from the store run (whether it is or isn't barebones) will have their orders shipped tomorrow (or the next day).
