Hello Everyone! Wow, its been four months since my last update here. Sorry about that. I've been active in the discord channel, but I feel a post here will be helpful to those who don't check in to there.   So let's get started. KL-90 NEWS: Foundry Editions: I've been told these will be completed within the next two days, they are just having the bottom cases anodized. Once those are sent my way, it's fulfillment time.   Aluminum Cases: Production has been completed on over half the cases. They will start to be anodized/cerakoted in batches, and then shipped...

Hello Everyone!   I'm back, and trying to get into the full swing of things! My wife and I welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world on Feb 18th.

Once it is done and verified, production can begin en masse.   PCBs: Solder and Hotswap PCBs have been verified, QMK and VIA are completed and awaiting official merging to their respective...

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all doing well.   Trying to keep up with a bi-weekly update path, and there's been some progress since the last post so lets get to it.   Fulfillment target is still looking great, hopefully even sooner. Seems like what we'll be waiting on the most is packaging because I'm so indecisive.   Aluminum Cases: First Article/Foundry Edition #0 (My Personal One) is currently in production already! Hopefully will be seeing that one sooner rather than later.   PCBs: First Article has come in for the Solder PCB, with the Hotswap one coming in the...
