Don't worry, I find it hard to believe that a single pallet just disappears. Probalby comes in another shippment or container.

No, but its being held up somewhere. Funny enough its the same for iMav. One of the parcles is being held. I'm guessing that the parcel that contains the most keyboards is the most problematic in customs and is therefore inspected.

A mysterious brown box from China that goes "click, click, click" might make a few Customs officials nervous.

Probably suspect illegal Chinese gambling activity for a pallet of boxes named Pokers.
Especially when the sending address is "The KBC Triad".
not sure which one is Imsto.

In Europe it is much more mundane. The Mob wants its cut.

I hope the fourth box has arrived as well...

Fourth box is now also in Germany and being processed by customs. I will pick them all up as soon as I receive notification from the custom offices. Usually it takes them 3 to 6 days. So I'm hoping to have them by the weekend.

Since nobody looks at my post in the distribution thread - is there a chance you can send the keyboard to another address than the one we have originally specified? I am asking since I am not going to be at that address over the next few months.

Yes of course. Before I actually go intro distribution I will send an E-Mail to everyone again with a chance to change the address. If no answer is received I will proceed to ship the keyboards to the old address.

Just to break the routine - I haven't moved and I'm looking forward to getting my poker when it gets here.

Stuff is up to the roof, quite literally.
Soon.
I will be sending mails over the weekend to confirm shipping addresses, since it seemed to have changed for a lot of people. After basic quality checks, the distribution will start around Monday and the following week. Still some customs stuff to do until I am legally allowed to actually send them. Stuff turned out a bit more complicated than expected. Luckily the custom officers were very helpful this time.

Swell!
Tip: these supposedly work perfectly with a usb to ps2 passive converter, so you can make a ps2 to usb converter/remapper with a teensy if you don't like the second layer. I'll get my supplies next week!

Turns out we also received a newer revision than the one we expected. The one we received does not have the ugly gigantic fonts for the meta keys. Instead everything is nice and clean! The keycaps look very similar to Leopolds with no visual distractions, after all.

Pretty accurate. It was quite a lot more work and papers than expected. German officials and their dedication to papers, bills and fees are mostly to blame.

You lucky bastards! I was seeing another key cap group buy resulting from all those Poker group buyers. But this looks really nice. They made the font *much* smaller. I'm glad for you and am in for a blue left over, if that should happen. :)

I think I'll settle for using ctrl+alt for when I would need Alt Gr.
