[GB] Round One, Go-popper, A 2-in-1 Aluminum Switch
Opener
Thanks to all of you who provided feedback and
encouragement throughout the Interest Check! The final
decision on the color for the 1st round Group Buy on
Go-popper would be BLACK, E-WHITE, SPACE GREY, and NAVY
BLUE, which occupied the top 4 preferences of colors.
Round One Group Buy on Go-popper
For those who have not notified the IC page for
Go-popper, it is a compact, portable, handy, and durable
switch opener that helps mechanical keyboard lovers to open
the switch FAST & SAFELY and with 200% convenience. This
idea was heavily driven by our personally experienced
difficulties or unsatisfied experiences with opening
switches with tools based on demands of
lubing/replacing switches and replacing keycaps. It was
the point that we realized we could not find a truly
beneficial and useful tool for opening switches.
Secured
by non-slip o-ring rubbers, Go-popper has two sides: one for
Cherry MX switches, the other for Kailh BOX switches.
Features
-Both MX and Kailh box switch compatible
-Made
of Aluminum, CNC processed and anodized
-Texture:
Matte
-Packaging: Paper box with
environmentally-friendly recycle paper & custom EVA
foam

how it works, and showing how it looks like, dont worry, we
got you.

Round One Group Buy - Go-popper
Feel free to comment down below with any questions,
ideas, or thoughts you have.
Feb 17, 2021 UPDATE
Hey guys, Happy New Year.
The Group Buy on
Go-popper officially ended on Feb 09, 2021, EST. The final
confirmed collections based on the responses we gathered are
far away beyond our expectations. We couldnt say a word or
several words to express how appreciated and thrilled we
are. We cannot walk this far without every one of you in the
community. Because of your undoubted support and trust,
although the group buy was just ended, we still receive
several messages regarding how to purchase it.
Therefore,
we decided to make it still available for purchase, but the
price will not remain the same. We didnt want to make any
profit on the just-ended group buy because to benefit the
community with things we have was and will always be our
primary purpose. After several revisions and adjustments to
the design, we now firmly believe that the Go-popper has its
unique value and even can become a prominent tool. Thats why
we are here to announce that Go-popper will be one of our
first products and will be always available for
purchasing.
Accordingly, the regular price on each
Go-popper will not be the same as that over the group-buy.
The price of each Go-popper will be added on for
US$5.00-US$8.00, depends on the colors. The cost of the raw
material of the e-white Go-popper is relatively higher than
the others. Hence, the regular price of an e-white go-popper
is slightly more expensive.
Another thing that needs to
be noticed is that the
navy blue Go-popper will temporarily no longer being put
under any mass production after the group buy.
Since Group Buys form is no longer receiving
responses, here is another form we use to
collect regular purchases on Go-popper
The regular price of each Go-popper is listed as
follows:
Regular Price of Go-popper
Color Unit Price (Shipping Fee excluded)
Black US$35.00
Space Grey US$35.00
E-white
US$38.00
The shipping fee per order will also be
adjusted for regular purchases. Weve learned that due to
COVID-19, worldwide logistics are experiencing unprecedented
difficulty in transporting products across borders of
countries. Meanwhile, the limited employee availability
restricts the situation and even makes it harder. We have to
admit that under this situation, it is challenging for us to
waive shipping fees of the delivery to some countries that
we need to apply more attention and efforts to local
logistics, of which policies are always changing, revising,
and updating.
The list includes all the countries and
regions where we can provide a free shipment. If your
current residence is not on the list, the invoice received
will be added on with a standard shipping fee range
from US$5.00 to US$10.00.

If your current residence is Mexico (not covered as a free shipping country), and you are interested in 1 black Go-popper and 1 e-white Go-popper, the total price listed in the invoice you receive will be US$35.00 (black x1) +US$38.00 (e-white x1) + an estimated standard shipping fee (range from US$5.00 to US$10.00).

Regular purchases on Go-popper
Hey guys,
Finally! We just reached the final step of the prototyping and testing stage of our navy blue Go-popper. We did revise the color of the blue by making it darker as a pure navy blue.
Before: thelight blue Go-popper
Above is the blue we thought might be trending before we actually got started gathering and collecting feedback through interest check and group buy. After realizing that most of you mentioned navy blue instead of light blue, we decided to revise it by using PANTONE blue color values as a reference.

After: the navy blueGo-popper

March 27, 2021 UPDATE
Go-poppers are now under a regular, mess production:
Great news. Go-Poppers are now under a regular mess production after the final prototyping, and the estimated production completion date is March 30th. We will then inspect each package’s packing to ensure they are solid enough to protect the item and ship them out within 3-5 business days counted from March 30th, which is around April 3rd to 5th.
The tracking number and other logistics information necessary for you to check the order’s shipment status will be sent to your email address for PayPal invoice payment.
Both the GB started on January 18, 2021, and the regular purchase of Go-poppers started on February 17, 2021, will then be officially closed when you see this update. It does not mean the Go-popper will no longer be available in the market ever because we decide to stop producing it. The regular purchase will be re-launched on our official website when everything is on the right track. We promise we will bring good news here soon. Reach out to us at hi@entergogo.com if you want to purchase the Go-popper when our official website is under reconstruction.
Again, we could not get this far without everyones sincere support and unconditional trust. Thanks to everyone who participated and gave us encouragement throughout the project. It’s encouraging to know that we definitely have a community of mechanical keyboard that has embraced us in our journey.
We will be in touch.
April 08, 2021 UPDATE
