UHK 60 v2 production progress

By |2022-08-01T20:14:23+02:002022-08-01 20:14 CEST|manufacturing, news|11 Comments

Hi there, and welcome to this short and slightly late monthly UHK status update!

We’ve been catching up with pending orders in July and closing the gap. We couldn’t catch up as rapidly as in June because our busy elves of the assembly team were on a much-deserved vacation, but they’re back stronger than ever. We expect August to be a strong month in terms of production.

New orders are expected to ship in October, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

We’re delighted to hear from UHK 60 v2 customers as they receive their orders. If you got your UHK, tweet about it, or it didn’t happen!

Thanks for reading this update! We’ll keep you updated on all things UHK and plan to publish the next update at the end of August.

Hi there, and welcome to this short monthly UHK status update!

We’ve been catching up quicker than ever with pending orders in June and effectively closing the gap. There’s not much else to say regarding production as everything went very smoothly.

New orders are expected to ship in October, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

UHK 60 v2 production progress

By |2022-05-31T22:22:51+02:002022-05-31 22:22 CEST|manufacturing, news|12 Comments

Hi there, and welcome to this monthly UHK status update!

In May, we shipped about as many UHKs as we sold; thus, we couldn't catch up with pending orders effectively. Our PCB contract manufacturer has moved to a new facility, which put UHK 60 v2 assembly on a halt due to a temporary shortage of PCBs. Our contractor has successfully migrated, and UHK 60 v2 production will resume this week.

On the flip side, we've been preassembling modules, palm rests, and various subassemblies over the past two weeks, so we expect to ship many, possibly a record number of orders, in June.

New orders are expected to ship in September, and we'll update the delivery status page every weekend.

If there's an ultimate modder, Roger has earned the title as he transformed his UHK 60 v1 like no one else. He added foam and replaced the key switches to minimize their noise. Then he replaced the USB Mini-B connector with an easily accessible USB-C connector and added a magnetic connector for increased convenience. In true keyboard modder's fashion, Roger also replaced his keycaps. Now comes the crazy part: he added Bluetooth to his UHK without any visible bulk, like it's a factory feature. Mad props to Roger, and check out his post if you're interested in modding.

UHK 60 v2 production progress

By |2022-05-01T22:12:34+02:002022-05-01 22:12 CEST|manufacturing, news|13 Comments

Hi there, and welcome to this monthly UHK status update!

We keep catching up with pending orders, although slower than anticipated because the current global affairs slowed down parts shipping from our suppliers like never before. Thankfully, we've got the parts we were waiting for; we're stocking up and focusing on delivering pending orders as quickly as possible.

New orders are expected to ship in July, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

UHK 60 v2 production progress and review

By |2022-03-31T20:00:15+02:002022-03-31 20:00 CEST|manufacturing, news|26 Comments

Hi there, and welcome to this monthly UHK status update!

We keep catching up with pending orders, even though parts have been flowing in slower than anticipated due to Covid in China. As a result, we’ve been preassembling UHK subassemblies and modules in the last couple of days, but UHK 60 v2 shipments will resume the next week.

New orders are expected to ship in June, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

No UHK 60 v2 reviews have been done yet because customers come first, and we’ll only send units to reviewers after shipping every pre-order. But we’ve made an exception with Simon Høiberg because his enthusiasm is contagious, and we didn’t want to stop his momentum.

Apart from his great energy, Simon’s review is very informative and insightful, and it also showcases the modules and his configuration, so we highly recommend watching it.

UHK 60 v2 production progress

By |2022-02-28T19:30:53+01:002022-02-28 19:30 CEST|manufacturing, news|31 Comments

We keep catching up with pending orders, we’ve received a record number of excited tweets from new UHK owners, and we’ve just added a new member to our assembly team to accelerate production.

New orders are expected to ship in May, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

We still only have black cases. If you have a pending order containing a UHK 60 v2 with a non-black case or an extra non-black case, we won’t send your pending orders to production until we have non-black cases in stock unless you ask us to switch the case colors of your order to black by filling out this form.

Manufacturing non-black cases is taking longer than anticipated. Still, we expect to have them in a week or two, at which point, we’ll publish an exclusive newsletter with a form via which you’ll be able to switch (back) to your desired case color.

Hi there, and welcome to this monthly UHK status update!

We keep catching up with pending orders as quickly as possible, and we plan to take it up a notch by adding a new busy elf to our assembly team of athletic Hungarian elves.

We’re working on some major Agent and firmware features that will allow configuring the speed and behavior of modules and so much more. There’s no ETA yet, and we’ll share more details when the time comes.

New orders are expected to ship in May, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

UHK 60 v2 production keeps accelerating

By |2021-12-31T21:42:42+01:002021-12-31 21:42 CEST|manufacturing, news|16 Comments

Hi there, and welcome to this monthly UHK status update!

We're happy to say that despite the holidays, the UHK 60 v2 production volume of December was even higher than November, which already hit a record. We keep catching up with pending orders as quickly as we can, and we’ve been assembling UHKs between the holidays.

New orders are expected to ship in April, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

We expect production to peak in January, given the lack of holidays and some manufacturing optimizations we’ve implemented. 

We still only have black cases. If you have a pending order containing a UHK 60 v2 with a non-black case or an extra non-black case, we won’t send your pending orders to production until we have non-black cases in stock unless you ask us to switch the case colors of your order to black by filling out this form.

We expect to get colored cases in January. As soon as we get them, we’ll publish an exclusive newsletter with a form with which you’ll be able to switch (back) to your desired case color.

Ramping up UHK 60 v2 production

By |2021-11-30T22:27:06+01:002021-11-30 21:23 CEST|manufacturing, news|22 Comments

Hi there, and welcome to this monthly UHK status update!

TL;DR: UHK 60 v2 production volume was in the hundreds in November, allowing us to combat the backlog of pending orders effectively. We’re catching up, and production progress will keep accelerating. New orders are expected to ship in April, and we’ll update the delivery status page every weekend.

We’re happy to say that production is slowly but surely getting smoother, and this month, we were finally able to produce not a meager 50 or 60 but hundreds of UHKs. We’re well on our way to catching up.

We’ll keep accelerating manufacturing progress. Due to holidays, the progress of December is expected to be similar to November, and we expect to achieve peak progress in January.

We still only have black cases. If you have a pending order containing a UHK 60 v2 with a non-black case or an extra non-black case, we won’t send your pending orders to production until we have non-black cases in stock unless you ask us to switch the case colors of your order to black by filling out this form.

We expect to get non-black cases in January or possibly in late December. As soon as we get them, we’ll publish an exclusive newsletter with a form with which you’ll be able to switch (back) to your desired case color.

We’re delighted to hear from UHK 60 v2 customers as they receive their orders!
