May Project Updates

268.2 Polycarbonate Round 3

Thanks to everyone that managed to place an order! Production will now commence, starting with materials being ordered. The order for White PCBs will be placed in the next few days. An updated timeline of 2 months for start-to-end production is estimated, with an additional 2-4 weeks allowed for shipping, processing & quality control, then shipping to customers.

280 / 220

The Batch 2 220s are ready, whilst the 280s are still undergoing anodizing. I expect these to be shipped from the manufacturer mid June.

5/20 Update - The 280s have also finished so both the 280s and 220s will ship to me before the 24th as prices are going up. I don't have the required PCBs yet but will contact Rozakiin to sort something out.

Evija

The new HHKB Professional Classic has finally been ordered, and I hope to have it in hand in a couple weeks to reverse engineer. Hopefully the designs are close enough to not compromise the overall design, in the same way that XRF only supports R1 as R2 is a massive design change (no forehead!), and should be treated to its own bespoke design.

Evija HG

The Top and Polycarbonate plates are completed, whilst the Stainless Steel base & plate are currently being polished. After polishing, the bases will be finished with silkscreening. I expect these to be shipped from the manufacturer mid June.

XRF

With the previous batch of products nearing completion, production will now commence, starting with materials being ordered. Daughterboards and cables will be ordered to arrive a couple weeks before the cases. An updated timeline of 2 months for start-to-end production is estimated, with an additional 2-4 weeks allowed for shipping, processing & quality control, then shipping to customers.

I plan to have very limited extras in stock once the preorder is fulfilled, including a new edition. More information will be posted closer to the time.
