Hey guys,
Update on the drop status of the ErgoDox drop.
For the previous drop (for participating members whose transaction ID starts with MD-359). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have shipped out the following order configurations: - Orders without assembly (except for orders calling for Cherry MX Red) - Orders with partial assembly (except for orders calling for Cherry MX Red)
We are expecting fully assembled PCB to arrive within a week. When it does, we will be able to start shipping out all the orders....but except for the orders calling for Cherry MX Red.
As you might be able to tell, the supply for Cherry MX Red has been extremely limited in the last few months. We are expecting our order for these switches to arrive in about 2 weeks, if all goes according to plan. We welcome anyone that want to change out of their Cherry MX Red, in most cases, orders with other switch colors (blue/clear/black) can be shipped out immediately.
We apologize for the extended delay for the fulfillment of this drop, we have already implemented numbers of revisions in our processes, so ErgoDox fulfillment will happen in a much more timely basis for future drops. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the drop that just ended (for participating members whose transaction ID starts with MD-628): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Teensy Board: Shipped - Electronic Components: SJ-43514 (audio jack) and FS-4CT-02-MM (Audio Cable) are currently in backorder status. But all other components will be shipped to us early next week. - Cherry MX Black: Ordered / Shipped - Cherry MX Blue: Ordered, lead-time: 3-5 weeks - Cherry MX Clear: Ordered, partially shipped, lead-time for remaining: 3-5 weeks - Acrylic Cases: Ordered, production is being scheduled, production completion time yet to be determined. - Aluminum top plate: Ordered, production is being scheduled, production completion time yet to be determined. - PCB: Ordered, production is being scheduled, production completion time yet to be determined. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going forward, we will provide weekly update for the fulfillment status. So hopefully it will give everyone a better idea of when shipment can be expected.
It's very rewarding to see the size of the ErgoDox drop increases very substantially each time. We really appreciate the support and feedback we are getting from the community. If you guys have any ideas on how we can improve the kit, or perhaps add-ons we can consider to add for future drops, definitely feel free to let us know.

nelsonHey, I just found out about ErgoDox yesterday and subsequently hit the request button on it. Is there still a way to get in on the drop that just ended, or will I have to wait until the next drop / group buy gets launched?

CalramaYou'll need to wait to the next one, which could be a while :(

nelsonI am thankful that the end is in sight. I hope the fully assembled kits pass through quality control and we get the keyboard finally. Thanks for the update and I appreciate the pains that you guys take to maintain quality. Thanks.

CalramaI just received mine from the previous drop (August 2013 with Acrylic Case, MX Blue, and Blank PBT DSA). The keyboard is great but I'm running into some financial trouble right now and I think I have to let it go. If you are interested, I'll be glad to send you some pics
