6/6 UPDATE: PCBs are moving and should be completed this week. We will have a more detailed update next week.
ORIGINAL UPDATE We have an update on the status of the Massdrop x OLKB Planck Mechanical Keyboard Kit. Unfortunately there were some issues with the PCB portion during production, and we now estimate that the kits will ship in late June.
With the latest Planck PCB order, we found some of the components were end of life or had very long lead time with their respective suppliers. We’ve found replacements and we’re working with the manufacturer to get these replacements validated. Other components like the CNC case, plate, accessories, and keycaps are completed and we’re waiting for the PCB so we can pack everything together.
We currently expect the PCB to be complete in early June, and we’ll update everyone at this time with a more precise estimated ship date.
We apologize for this delay and we are working the team to get these kits produced and shipped in a timely manner. If you don’t want to wait the additional time, you can cancel your order via the transactions page: https://www.massdrop.com/transactions
I do have some pictures of some of the finished parts. Only waiting on the PCB now.

YanboWuAh well, thanks for the update! at least everything else is in order this time around. Maybe you should just upgrade us all to Rev 6! ;p

YanboWuArg, god damn it. I was gonna build this on my paternity leave, now I'll have to wait... god knows when, to build this thing.
People warned me about these Massdrop group buys and their usual delays, so that's on me I guess.

YanboWuWould it be possible to just not include the PCB with our order? This version of the PCB is outdated anyways, and I don't want my other parts to be delayed because of it.

YanboWuAllowing people to just cancel the PCB part of their order is defo the best thing to do Now that rev6 has come out, people are going to be more prone to cancelling their order from this drop and just ordering the parts from somewhere else but I bet most of those people would prefer to get the parts already finished from this drop and just order a new PCB from elsewhere. I don't know whether Massdrop supports cancelling certain parts of orders but you could just set up a Google Form or something

YanboWuYeah, I wish I could just cancel the PCB for a partial refund. I'm goint to put in a rev 6 to have the key hotswap and USB C, so the PCB from the drop is money down the drain.

YoooderA partial refund would be nice, but I don't see that happening. I would be fine with just not getting this PCB at all.
I did purchase this kit with the rev 5 PCB, knowing rev 6 was dropping this year. The issue is the delay. This PCB was going to be outdated regardless.

torresmiYep, quite frankly I knew what I was signing up for with the PCB that is included in this drop and I have no problems with it whatsoever. It sucks about the delay but that can happen and Massdrop is already doing what they need to do by offering a full refund if anyone wants.

cijanzenYeah, I agree. Except I'm wondering if Massdrop could just ship out kits without the PCB for those that request it. I still want all the other parts, but couldn't care less about this PCB that we are waiting on. Just a thought tho.

YanboWuI'm also for either getting the Rev. 5 replaced for a Rev. 6, or to have the PCB portion cancelled. Please, can you update us on the possibilities?

YanboWuWhat I would like to know is, how did you guys not check on your supply chain 3 months ago? Why is this just now an issue, and if it isnt just now an issue, why are we just now hearing about it?

YanboWuAh, glad there's an update, finally, more info next week huh? Hmm.
I hope the question many, myself included, about whether leaving out the PCB or opting for a Rev. 6 is possible will not go unanswered, though. Even if it's just an acknowledgement of the question but it not being possible, at least say something about it, it would be much appreciated nonetheless.

YanboWuThanks for the 6/6 update- I keep checking here to see when I'll get to play with my new toy. Looking forward to receiving it! Once they're shipped, do you have an estimation about when they'll land on doorsteps (US)? Generally speaking of course.

IllusiveBagel I understand that the vendors are the bottleneck, but my beef is with the lack of communication — something that is absolutely within Massdrop's control.
