I would love to jump in on this drop, but that estimated ship date of Sep 5, 2016 is really off-putting. Especially considering that I just waited for Tai-Hao Purple PBT Doubleshot Keycap Set since April 22nd. I'm fine with a month or so lead-time, but anything @ or > 2 months is a deal-breaker for me. That may go against the entire premise of the site and group-buy concept, but that's a hellaciously long lead-time.
nafs_aspI am approximately 30 mech. keyboards deep into my collection, 2+ months still seems like a long lead time. Especially if the company is aware that a drop/group buy is underway. I digress.
I'm used to long ship times from APJ region. I get it.
It's just that 2+ months is a bit longer than I'm willing to wait myself.
MDBurnettHa. The wait on the White Fox is over six months now and many boards have yet to ship. Two months isn't bad, if they actually deliver on time.
MDBurnettCool, I have 3 keyboards, and I waited three or four months for their parts to make it around the globe. This is a small production custom kit, not an off-the-shelf board, the manufacturer isn't going to start work until massdrop has paid them. You don't have to join this drop, but if you want this board it's probably the fastest way to get it.
