Coronavirus is causing delays. Many projects (and updates on them) will be at stand still for the next few weeks. Almost all timelines are subject to change once we get updates from the various manufacturers.
Fulfillment is now underway! We are still awaiting some additional inventory from our previous center, particularly the Hexgears keyboards. We are working as fast as possible to get these back in stock and shipping.

Estimated production time is 8 weeks from group buy close (July 1st). Estimated production completion is September, with arrival to our warehouse in October.

GMK originally gave us an estimated transit date of May 6th, but there has not been follow-up from them yet.
We will have an update once they give us a firm ship date.
GMK Copper
Purchase order was placed late February. Production is estimated for 24 weeks and then will have another month of transit from GMK to our distribution center. Estimated shipping is in September/ October.
GMK Firefly
GMK originally gave us an estimated transit date of May 3rd, but there has not been follow-up from them yet.

GMK Ursa
Order has been placed and kits have been confirmed with GMK for production. Their current estimate is 23 weeks from Order placement (occurred on Jan 27th) which puts completion around July/August. It will likely take another month or so after for transit times and check-in before shipping to customers.

While reviewing our inventory, it became clear that the old fulfillment center had not yet handed over all of the Venture, X-1, and Gemini. We are working hard to get them into our new center and shipped out, but it will take longer than expected.

We assumed these shipped based on what the manufacturer said, however the shipment may have been delayed. We are in contact with them, but communication is spotty due to coronavirus.
