Time to necro post this group buy. You are still in business, right?
The Apple Extended Keyboard II feels better than I expected. Tempted to try building a damped Matias custom.

Does anyone know how smooth the matias linears are?

Smoothest linear switch currently on the market. Blows Cherry MX, Gateron, etc. out of the water.
(Note, I’m talking about the ones with the red sliders sold by Matias, not quiet or clicky switches with the tactile/click leaf removed.)

Also recommended: swap the spring between Matias linear and click switches; this will make the linear switch slightly stiffer and the click switch slightly lighter, in my opinion an improvement to both.

When should I expect to receive the switches I ordered on Aug 11th? I know 7bit is busy shipping out r5 orders so I should expect a delay but... some sort of guesstimate would be nice.
