Production of the keycaps is complete at Signature Plastics. However, before they ship everything to our warehouse we're going through an extra round of QC (they're sending samples over to us in SF, and we're also getting a set sent to T0mb3ry in Germany. We've had a handful of production issues with SP sets in the last 3 months so we want to make sure it's completely correct before shipping (instead of having to issue fix kits).
Current estimate is we'll be shipping units out the week of May 18th.
May 18th Update: We didn't get tracking from Signature Plastics today for the products, so chances of us getting it shipped out to you this week is pretty low. We're waiting to hear back to get a revised date. Will update again shortly.
May 21st Update: While things are ready to ship, we've received our "gold sample" and it it not as "gold" as we want. There's quality issues that T0mb3ry and we are not happy with, so Signature Plastics is now working to remake a handful of keycaps, and then they'll ship everything to us. (Whenever this happens people always ask, why is the QC problem being found AFTER all they keycaps are made; and the answer is: that's how Signature Plastics does things...)
Here's a photo of our set, specifically the stroke-width of the " and ~ are wider than the tolerance that we'd be happy with, so they're getting redone to be slightly thinner. There's a handful of other small things we've noted. We could just "ship it", but to us we want to make sure we get it right. Newest estimate on the keycaps being redone and shipped to us is 2 weeks, so around 6/4. Will provide more info closer to that date.

6/3 Update: Keycaps are on a truck and headed to our warehouse, estimated delivery date is June 8th, and then it'll take us a few days to unpack, sort, repack, and ship it all out. Most likely you'll get a tracking number by the end of next week (hopefully sooner). Will provide another update once it arrives at our warehouse (note that 6/8 is the estimated date - plenty of things could cause that date to shift).
6/10 Update: These are now shipping, some have already gone out, and the rest should go out tomorrow or Friday!
6/16 Update: Retiring this thread since this is fully shipped. Extras on sale in the coming days!
L.nielsMe too! I ordered a high profile alt board for this and have Kailh navy box switches waiting. Hopefully my SA Yuri order and the board come around the same time.
KevinHi Kevin
Is there any possibility to buy additional set after You received it from factory? I ordered only one and now I can say it was my mistake =)
KevinStroke width beyond tolerance? Those caps look fine to me. If you had shipped those out I would still be perfectly happy. More important things to check for are stem tightness, stem length uniformity, wobbly stems, chads, and broken side walls. On the SP SA caps there tend to be swirls in the plastic but for the DCS caps they always look great. I've never heard anyone complain about SP's "stroke width".
