Silent Holy Panda X?
I ordered some Holy Panda X switches, and I fell in love with them. They are a joy to type on. There's just one problem. The place that I use my keyboard to type the most is obviously at work, which is a problem if I want to use the Holy Panda X in the office around a whole bunch of people. I really don't want to torture my coworkers with the clack of these switches. I'd rather they still liked me. The good news is that, for me, the actuation of the Holy Panda X is the best part. I could take or leave the sound it makes; even if it is fantastic. Which leads me to my conundrum: is there another "silent" switch that feels similar to the Holy Panda X? Is there a piece I can remove from the Holy Panda X that would allow me to make them silent? Or am I going to have to wait and see if Drop will drop a Silent Holy Panda X for the in-office mech community?

Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

The delays have been caused due to couple reasons. Signature Plastics quotations on the shipping time have been based on time frames that they have experienced in the past. However, due to the increase in demand of the SA keycap sets from the community and in general greater popularity of mechanical keyboards, keycap orders have increased considerably in volume. As most of the community is aware, the SA profile keycap production line for Signature Plastics is extremely impacted and any delays in the manufacturing of one keycap set results in a delay down the chain. All this being said, Signature Plastics is setting up more production lines and trying to alleviate the production issues as soon as possible. The biggest hurdle they are facing is hiring because there is significant training and quality control involved in making these drops happen for the community. The community will be seeing benefits of these actions, but they won’t be in the short term. So, what is happening with this drop? Since we are significantly delayed beyond the quoted shipping date, we cannot assume that community members who joined the drop still want to be a part of it per FTC regulations, and they have to opt back into the drop. We have a new shipping date of July 31 provided for this drop and our Community Support team will be sending emails to everyone detailing the next steps. Please keep an eye on your inboxes because If we do not hear back from you by the new shipping date, we’ll have to assume that you’d like to not be part of the drop anymore, and refund your money. As always, a big thank you to the community for making these community designed keycap sets possible. Please also see some of the latest production photos from Signature Plastics.
They really should have had someone on this daily. Someone has to be responsible for getting updates. It almost feels like the updates are automated, and impersonal, and for shipments of regular products that is acceptable. But for something like this, there should have been constant updates and a point-of-contact. I find it difficult to believe this would have happened if someone from Massdrop was checking in regularly to ensure fulfillment was actually occurring. The production company deserves most of the blame for poor scheduling, and for taking on more work than they could reasonably handle, but where was the oversight? Massdrop has to act on our behalf to get updates, and they didn't. Both companies have a lot of issues to solve, and this situation has exposed a great deal of them.
So this date was communicated with a lot of buffer. We will ship these as soon as they've arrived in our warehouse.
i hope it's a joke, after 10 Months waiting, if you cancel my order, someone is gonna die... we bought we get it unless we cancel it. what if im on hollidays and dont read the mail? You cancel it and good luck on me.
Feel free to complain about the quality of communication, though, if that makes you feel better. I'm not sure it'll change anything going forward, since the ostensibly poor communication about this particular drop seems to me to mostly be a "perfect storm" of smaller communication mistakes on the part of both MD and SP. Based on my own previous interactions with MD's CS, I suspect they've already improved their policies & procedures to ensure it doesn't happen again.
