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

I don't care that I have 4 keyboards, I'm grabbing one when R2 comes out

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!

How are the Oil Kings? I’ve heard that Gateron switches can be a tight squeeze/have to be careful when building
thunder2132 OP t1_j5kvibo wrote
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

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.

Itching to pick up one of these bad boys
thunder2132 OP t1_j5zc9jm wrote
I really like it. It's got everything I wanted in an endgame board. Here's hoping you can get an extra or that they do another run!

Please do another run 😞
thunder2132 OP t1_j5zkov2 wrote
I think they probably will, but buying an extra could work out too. If not, there's always the secondary market, or just wait for the less expensive Keychron Q1 Pro to be in stock. I'll probably pick up one of those as well.

Great looking board!
If you have a few moments could you pull some measurements of the 3u cluster? Trying to put a metal badge there but mine hasn't shipped yet.
Measurements would need to be taken preferably with a digital caliper. I would need the length, width, depth, and fillet radii (corner radius).

Sorry, I don't have the tools to get you what you need. Best of luck!

No worries! Hope you're enjoying it, can't wait for mines
