Update 3: 19/10. All the cases have finished production
ahead of schedule - still waiting on all the other parts to
be finished so that they can be shipped out to all the
vendors, we are looking very good on shipping this quarter.
Thanks for all the support
Update 2: 22/07.
Everything is in production now - I am still working on
getting more concrete timelines so I can provide a better
update. Thanks all
Update 1: 04/04. First off,
thanks to all of you who joined the group buy :-) Apologies
for the silence so far - we are working behind the scenes to
collate numbers etc and prepare the manufacturing phase.
Unfortunately not as many boards were sold as expected so we
are working out how we can make sure the boards still get
manufactured and into your hands.

That curve
Note about the weights: they are approx due to limited access to precision scales, some private owners measure it at 4.1, some at 3.9 so consider it ~4kg rather than dead on

Vendors
Here is a list of the retailers with their respective prices and regions. There are no regional restrictions outside of where a store can normally ship to, please buy from whichever vendor is best for you! Once I have product specific pages I will update the links below
Region Retailer & Link Regional price Notes Europe mykeyboard.eu 549 / 659 USA Mekibo $499 / $599 Canada ApexKeyboards $629 CAD / $754 CAD OCE Daily Clack $750.00 AUD / $891.00 AUD Singapore Hex Keyboards S$678.00 / S$814.00 East Asia kibou.store HK$3,899.00 / HK$4,679.00 Indonesia pluskb IDR 7.200.000 / IDR 8.700.000 Discord only - Order Form UK KeebCats £399 / £499
Due to the ongoing complications of the pandemic an exact timeline is hard to nail down, I would be hopeful everything can be manufactured and shipped in around 6-9 months. Though once we have a better idea of the volume of boards it will be easier to get a better timeline to share. This would put delivery around November-December, I will update this post as the buy progresses.
Plate files will be made available in my github plate repository once production files are confirmed.
Here is an exploded view
If you have any questions or comments about the case/pcb/buy etc. please ask here or by any of these contact methods: Reddit, Geekhack, email, discord.
I am most available on discord but will try to get back to you in a reasonable timeframe any way you reach out.
Thank you for your time
Max
