Thanks man! Yeah, he's a good guy! Just received the prototype from SPCR and am going to contact Kyle soon.

Yeah it was really unlucky. Vancouver had a freak winter this year and it really messed things up. Kyle was who I had in mind to reach out to. Which Paul are you talking about? The fact that they live in the same town is great for us since it really helps speeds things up. I would love to do...

Hey! We have one good news and one bad news to update. Good news first: We have finalized negotiations with our manufacturer. For our second campaign, we can set the goal to be half the original amount, while increasing per-unit cost by only $10 USD. Bad news: The reviewer at SPCR had...

I got an email from them about this too. Seems extremely useful for budding designers. I wish I had this info when I first started.

Technically, yes. We actually have some quotes but I'm really not satisfied with them. I know that international shipping is typically high for crowdfunded cases, but I want to see if we can buck that trend.

I'm a AMD hype sucker so I'm really really excited for this! unfortunately no mITX option means I won't be jumping on the train too soon. I might be interested in building a completely passive mATX system when I graduate though, so we'll see :)

Yeah, I hope the writer at SPCR understands that we're a big company without the financial leeway to give away prototypes. Regardless of the result though, I think we might get a 2nd prototype so that eager reviewers aren't kept waiting. I'm slightly hesitant to add more compatibility to the...

Yeah, we'll definitely send out lots of news before the launch of our next campaign. That was definitely a misstep on our part. I'm looking forward to the review by SPCR too! Thanks for the support man :) I'm very proud of our designer. She never did any industrial design before, but managed...

Hey everyone, just want to give a quick update. In the end, the campaign was not successful. That being said, I am encouraged that we were able to raise nearly $19,000 despite making many critical mistakes with the campaign. Having overlapping times with Sentry, giving a short notice for the...

I just guess & checked mainly. I have some MX switches so I measured the + stem with a caliper, but every other part of the switch I just sorta picked a dimension that made physical sense and went with it. What I showed at the SoCal meetup was like the 6th switch design I 3D printed.

I drew them with a CAD program? I'm a little unsure about what you're asking, could you clarify?

I just 3D printed them haha. This the company I used: https://www.3dsystems.com/

Hey, that project is halted for now. I had to make a choice between that and this project. I had some time during the summer to work on the switch, but not anymore now that school is started again.

I agree. You live and learn I guess, but I still have hope that the campaign can be successful :)

Our prototype is currently with Silent PC Review :) Unfortunately Linus never responded to any of our inquiries.
