Really hoping @YanboWu or @AlexPeterkin or @Parak or @Overkill can update everyone on the status of the last batch via email or a comment here. I'm kind of getting tired of coming back here as it is all depressing issues or a dearth of updates.
dragon788Hey guys the current status hasn't changed much. We are still waiting on that last batch of LCD revisions to be completed in December.
In the meantime, we should be getting some samples of the reinforced USB PCBs in the next week or two.
The new interlink cables will be sent out to everyone. We are waiting on the shipment to arrive from the cable vendor.
Finally, we are going to get some testing done in the next two weeks on solutions for those of you with LCDs stuck on one color.

YanboWuThanks for the update @YanboWu, even if it isn't much it's better than uncertainty.

YanboWuCan we get a status update? The last one you mentioned you were getting samples in the next week or two. . .and that was two weeks ago.
areedSure!
1. The reinforced USB feels a lot better on the samples. 2. Looks like we have a solution to the people with LCDs getting stuck on one color. Just testing a couple more and we will get the fix sent out to everyone that's affected. 3. All the new interlink cables were sent out to everyone. So keep an eye out for it. 4. We are working hard to beat the previous end of December estimate for the rest of ergodoxes. Should have some more news for everyone by the beginning of next week.
EDIT: Quick update about ship date - we are still looking to beat the previous estimate. Just finalizing a few more things and I should have a solid date - working on this on the daily and will update as soon as I have something solid.

YanboWuCan you comment on what sort of reinforcements were done on the new boards? I have the old board, and the interconnect can cut out if something is dropped on the cord. The new cable helps out a lot, but I'm still worried about fatigue at the solder points from flexing. I want to reinforce the USB socket, but I'm not sure about the best way to go about it.
IaeenI stuffed it full of hot glue when I was making mine. Seems to work ok.

YanboWuThanks for the sneaky update @YanboWu, getting really excited now that my EZ is also nearing shipping and I've got more keyboards than I know what to do with piling up.
