StephenMine just shipped!! Again, not that it appears to make a difference at this point since support said there were ~100 left. I was #123 and my order was:
Case Style: Classic Case Material: Clear Acrylic Switch Type: Cherry MX Brown (+$20) Keycaps: Blank PBT DSA (+$39) Add a MKC Keycap Puller: No Keycap Puller Add 130 Tex O-rings: No O-rings
Now I have to go watch some videos on soldering. Hope the remaining ~100 peoples get theirs shipped soon!

nix_fanMost of the through hole stuff is easy enough to solder, the surface mount diodes will probably give you the most trouble out of all of it, they are tiny, you may want to get some sort of magnification since there's a lot of them to solder on, it would be a bit hard to see if you did a good job with soldering them on without it. Not that it's explicitly required to use magnification when doing them, you can go back to the ones that didn't get soldered well when you go to test the keyboard, as those keys won't work most likely.
