I don't see why something would ship 4 months, specially a small package like mouse is. I've been sending several small packages across Europe and they usually arrived in 3-4 days. This may be intercontinental but still. I hope we will see this soon.

StormLordThe difference in a group buy like this and a normal purchase is that the manufacturer ships the product to Massdrop, then Massdrop ships to us.
The KBT Pure Pro group buy took like 5/6 weeks past the initially estimated date to finally ship. There were several issues with that buy, but it seems like this one will probably work out a little better seeing as they appear to have a reliable form of communication with Func. MD had issues getting in contact with and failures in communication with KBT, which led to many unsatisfied people.

StarbyYeah. I'm a little gun shy because my ErgoDox buy took 3 months. That was due to problems with suppliers of individual parts for a kit. Similarly the KBT keyboards had to be sourced and built to the customers' specs (keycaps, LED colors, switches). This is just a mass produced item. And Func seems excited about this buy since they proactively dropped the price even further. I wouldn't worry. :)

StarbyI was a part of the people that was a part of that ridiculous drop but there are a lot of things to remember about that. 1. US customs was slowed down massively because of the government shutdown 2. KBT messed up the keyboards 2 times( 1 they told MD about other time they just shipped them all wrong)
Unfortunately MD did not let us know of these issues immediately and so there was a lot of bitching. From many conversations with MDers they vowed to provide better details on future drops and I am sure they will give us any information as soon as they have something.
