Weekly Update - July 18, 2019

General Update - I'll be away from July 25th to August 9th. I will be at the Seattle Keyboard Meetup - come find me to grab a CannonKeys sticker! And after the meetup, I'll be on vacation.

Any orders placed between July 25th and August 9th will ship upon my return. All orders placed up until July 24th will be shipped before the trip!

Keyboard Kits

  • Ortho48 and Practice60 kits are in stock!
  • Unfortunately, there was a slight delay in Ortho60 and Practice65 kits production. They will not arrive before my trip, but should be here the week of August 11th.
  • The Ortho75 is a 15x5 ortholinear kit, that fits into a 60% case. The firmware is complete, and an order has been placed. ETA for stock is Monday.

PCBs

  • The Instant60 PCB is in stock and shipping! The latest VIA release has support for it. A Mac OS X binary is coming soon. ANSI variants are out of stock, but will be restocked on Monday.
