Hexgears Venture
Venture production is almost complete, all boards are made and are doing final testing. We requested an update early this week and will have an update from the factory likely next week.
Infinity Ergodox
“The prototype is being made for your confirmation, which is expected to be sent to you by express delivery on December 7th”
The factory manager was finally able to provide project updates — apologies for the delay. His mother experienced a medical emergency a few days after he returned from a long trip. He then had to travel back home for a couple of weeks to support his family and manage her care. That slowed down communications severely.
Several samples are on the way for evaluation and approval. They’re expected to arrive next week. Now that the manager is back and settled in updates should be quicker.
KAM Starry Night
The set is a go and production is underway.
Keystone Mechanical Keyboard
Vouchers have been sent to all backers! Please check your emails for the code. For Kickstarter Backers, Beam Spring redemption will go out as separate vouchers, likely after the Keystones themselves have shipped.
Email support@kono.store with any questions or concerns.
Kira Stealth / Upgrade Cases / Keycaps
“It is now processed on CNC, and is expected to be completed on January 10, 2020”
The factory manager was finally able to provide project updates — apologies for the delay. His mother experienced a medical emergency a few days after he returned from a long trip. He then had to travel back home for a couple of weeks to support his family and manage her care. That slowed down communications severely.
Given the PCB respin and disassembly / reassembly, we expect Kira Stealth to arrive at the Kono warehouse (where it will ship to you) in February or March 2020.

“Now I will wait for your final data, and I will arrange the sample for your confirmation. The prototype (BASE TEXT KIT) is expected to be completed on December 15th.”
We’re working with the factory to lock in final details. Samples didn’t match our design, so we had to order another round with adjustments. The next batch of samples is expected to complete on December 15th and will ship to us soon after. Once that’s confirmed we’ll have a new ETA for you.
If you need to make any changes to your order, please contact support@kono.store.
