I discovered the last version of the ergodox the day after the last drop ended. Frustrated, I waited patiently for another drop. I checked the massdrop site weekly for updates, but I missed the message in the discussion about the infinity version. The same message sent through email went into the promotions folder, which is mostly junk mail I do not check. I came on the site today to see what the status was, and discovered this new version- and that I once again missed the drop by mire hours.
I have hand injuries and I desperately need this keyboard to get back to work. Please let me know when I can get one.
:( epic sadness
ryanmixIn addition to the ErgoDoxEZ, which has already been mentioned, you could source the components yourself. Someone put together a parts list with links and posted it to the old Dox drop conversation. Here is the link:

Keep in mind that all of this is for the old model. If you want the new model, you'll have to wait till the plans are released to the public. They have been promised sometime after this drop ships. Also there has been mention of another drop that should happen soon after this one ships (and might actually arrive before the EZ).
If you can't wait due to your injuries, the fastest option would probably be to source the parts yourself. I wouldn't count on the EZ getting here before the infinity drop 2. The estimated ship date on the EZ is crazy long.
jakehemmerleYep, terrible. I was very glad this drop came around, I didn't want to solder all the little parts, but I'm very willing to solder the switches, and get a june delivery date with additional features (lcd screen, etc).
ryanmixThis is similar to what happened to me! I have been checking massdrop often to look for a new ergodox drop, and now I've missed it. :( Relaunch soon, please.
ryanmixif you're still in a bad way, hit up this nick at gmail.com, i'll either point you at the right components to buy or if you want i'll assemble it for you (gratis). I've got an old-generation ergodox w/ browns in it also if you wanted to borrow.
