TheVan 44 Keyboard Kit (COMPLETE)

Got lead time confirmation on keycaps, looks like its going to be the full six weeks. The keycaps have the longest lead time, so you can expect me to start shipping shortly after I receive them.

Not much to report. Production is underway and now we wait. Only one person I'm still waiting to hear from about payment. Things are looking good so far. Thanks again to everyone who has participated. Without all of you, this project would not be possible.

I reached out to Signature Plastics and East Valley Precision for status updates this morning. The KeyCaps on still on schedule and should be shipped mid June. The cases and plates are finished and I just picked them up!

Anodizing will be complete this week and I should start shipping the capless orders by the end of the week!

I attached tracking numbers in paypal. You should get an email from paypal, but if not, you should be able to find it by logging in and looking at the details for the transaction. Let me know if you can't find it.

Got it. Smoother than a baby butt so far.

Agreed! Mine is on track for Monday. So excited! TheVan Delivers is such a fitting tagline!

Finally got my van. Love the build quality and the personal note. Very very nice touch.

My keycap set is missing the reverse Z/Y caps - guess they didn't make it into production?
No biggie, just wondering.

Correct, those caps weren't in the final set that I sent to SP. I probably should have been more clear on that, I apologize.
