I’m super jelly where are you located? I also ordered the grey anodized barebones and I’m anxiously waiting it’s arrival…

Located in the US, Michigan to be exact. I don't know how they picked who got theirs first, but I ordered it about 5 minutes after the GB went live if that matters at all.

I’m your neighbour to the North East In Ontario, and I think I ordered mine in the first 2 minutes lol. I know the barebones were shipping first but who knows when due to CNY.

According to their discord, first ones started shipping 2-3 weeks ago, but are on hold from the 20-28 because of the holiday.

I ordered mine the day after sales started, but according to my Shop app, there hasn't been any movement yet. Couldn't say how many orders they got and how many they're able to put out in a day.

I responded to your message as well, but for the record I'm 39100 for my order number. Hopefully they get to yours soon!

On their discord they said that when you ordered it during the gb doesn't matter. I think it's by batches. We were lucky enough to be in batch one. Maybe it was the style of the board that we ordered, or maybe a lottery, IDK.

​

But I also ordered within the first hour of the GB.

How are the Oil Kings? I’ve heard that Gateron switches can be a tight squeeze/have to be careful when building

I love the Oil Kings, nice sound signature, pre-lubed, silky smooth. I've never had an issue with them at fitment, though I did have one yesterday that just wouldn't go in. I don't think you'll have troubles with them at all. Managed to do the entire board with 0 bent pins, so that's something!

I have the oil kings and gateron north poles among other gateron switches. Oil kings have 0 problems and same with the other switches. North poles on the other hand are insanely tight and difficult to get into a board
