@Kevin if you can keep us updated on the new batch/es coming up that would be dope. I missed the extras sale by a few minutes and I legit check every day. These next 4 months are gonna be a long wait.

HangThey have shipped quite a few. A friend of mine got his extras a few days after it was up for sale.

JayVee21I got mine last week. Waiting on some new keycaps and then I'm stuffing some Sorbothane in here. Hoping they get this added to QMK official soon, because I want MORE RGB EFFECTS

monkeywrightMan, mine is still in 'Order placed with the vendor' status. I even paid for expedited shipping.
Hopefully paypal can get my money back quickly so I can grab a KBD19x before it sell out.

monkeywrightI was just going to ask if anyone has added sorbothane to their shift yet. I haven’t messed around with the stuff yet but it seems kinda expensive to do a lot of trial and error with. Have you nodded any other boards with it? Any tips?

CoachChuck59I modded my Alt with it. It doesn't require too much precision if you're not a perfectionist. You cut small strips to create a grid under the top, put the PCB back in, and place a few larger squares between the PCB and back of case. It actually works better with lots of small pieces instead of one giant sheet. I did the ALT in full with a 6x12 sheet and had some left over. I think the SHIFT will require the full sheet form the look of it. I wanted a black keyboard, so I'm waiting on some custom vinyl decals to come in and then I'll do the whole thing at once. REALLY hoping they update the lighting matrix on the SHIFT soon (or at least get it QMK-official)!

Hanggot my Shift, that was an "extra", last week - its been great. Are you sure you got in on the extra and not the pre-order?

ampersandruNo, it was not a preorder. The order email/page said expected shipping date is AUG 2nd. Filed a claim with paypal and finally got an answer from Drop. They said my order was back ordered and for me to wait.. Paypal decided in my favor later that day and refunded my money.
I wonder how long Drop was going to take to tell me this if I didn't file a claim?
Paypal saved the day. Used that money on the Cyberboard.

CoachChuck59Use it sparingly. I cut little rails to go across the top plate between all the keys and then put 2-3 larger panels between the base and PCB. You don't need a large sheet to mod the SHIFT. I've modded 2 ALTs and SHIFT with sorbothane, and it made all the difference in the world getting rid of ping.
