kunalkumarAbout time. We've been waiting ages and had nothing but radio silence! Massdrop have dropped the ball and now we're meant to be happy we're getting an update?!? An update is the absolute least you can do. I've contacted support and had the same nonsense in reply, essentially, "hold tight, we'll have an update, thanks for your patience.". I want an update and I want my kit. I also want know why we've been kept in the dark despite consistently asking what is going on.

kunalkumarDo you mean July 10 23:59:59 at two inches East of the international date line?

MagicSmokeLol just about to write the same (ish). Taking them forever, and it's already almost 15:00 Pacific Time...

IcteI'm just a little worried about @kunalkumar sending an email from a kayak in the middle of the Pacific at night. There will be waves.

MagicSmokeAccording to some websites it is currently quite windy on the Pacific! Might be interfering with, well, sending the e-mail :P
On topic - I really wonder what's taking them so long. This Planck drop seem to have been a disaster. I actually missed it and am currently waiting for the next one (which according to Jack Humbert back on r/olkb should happen right after the current one has shipped), but I'm starting to think if it isn't better to just order the parts directly from olkb's website... Sure I would miss out on the gunmetal or green case, switches and keycaps as well as a probably a bit better price but I would at least have the things shipped to me within the month, no?

IcteJack has seemed quite excited about the quality of the case and the design of the plate. Soon enough I would expect OKLB will be selling the MD style plate on the site. Don't know about the case or the colors.

MagicSmokeInteresting, are you saying that the plate and case sold here on Massdrop is a new revision of the one currently sold through olkb's website? If so, maybe it is worth the wait for the next Massdrop drop.

MagicSmokeI still have high hopes :) I actually have this plate style (MX & Matias) for the Planck on the store! Don't have plans for the additional case colors right now.

jackhumbertShame, would have loved to have that sweet, sweet green case! Are there any plans to introduce MX keyswitches and keycaps on the website in the near future?

IcteThe case sold on OLKB is machined a little differently than the one from MD. You can see it in the stand-offs that support the plate. I have no idea which one is better made. @jackhumbert, are they both the same 6061 aluminum w/o heat treat nor aging?

jackhumbertGood on the same plate. Too bad MD didn't use your source. On case colors, please see Mango from Chris King bicycle components. It would be my vote for orange.

kunalkumarThanks! Meeting FCC Part 15 et al. is a very good reason for a delay . I think I'll get out may RF scanner and see what chuffing I can pick up from my WhiteFox and Infinity Ergodox. Neither case is a Farady cage.
