SS Black units being remade
- Sep 18, 2026 SS Black units being remade This update only concerns the SS Black Cloudnine 60%. Full-body PVD coating over raw stainless steel is an extremely demanding process. During their in-person quality control, most of this batch did not meet Machina’s standards. Rather than compromise on the final quality, Machina made the tough decision to have the units remade, and their manufacturing partner is working with them to fine-tune the process. They need an additional 15 days. Machina should receive a first small batch to inspect and validate today, and will share more details soon.
- Apr 12, 2026 CNC and PCBs progressing well CNC machining and PCB production are progressing very well! The current ETA is still Q2, with the latest timeline pointing to mid-June. After that, the boards will travel by air to our warehouse in France, so we expect to ship the Cloudnine to you in July.

- Jul 18, 2026 CNC nearly done, anodizing under way Production is progressing very well! CNC work is nearly completed, and the boards are currently being anodized. The plates are completed, and the PCBs should arrive in the next few weeks. According to the manufacturer, production should be completed at the end of Q3 (September). The Gehirn60 will then travel by train to our warehouse in France, which takes around 35 to 45 days, so we expect arrival around mid-Q4. If production takes longer than planned for any reason, we will import the boards by air to avoid delaying the original estimate.

CNC machining has begun
- Aug 14, 2026 CNC machining has begun • CNC machining has begun. There was a slight delay, as the raw material received from the supplier didn’t meet the manufacturer’s quality standards, so it was re-ordered. The new batch has been received and is now being machined. The manufacturer expects to do the surface treatment and finishes (anodizing and coating) around mid-August. • The pre-production packaging sample has been received and approved. Packaging is now being printed. • Batteries, solenoids, feet, force-break foam and silicone inserts have all been completed and delivered to the manufacturer. • Pre-production samples of the solder and hot-swap PCBs have been received. There is a small issue with the solenoid function, which we are currently addressing; everything else works as intended. Production is still scheduled to be completed in Q4 2026.
- May 21, 2026 Production is starting TL;DR: all is good, production is starting :) Below is a behind-the-scenes journal, if you’re interested in the process in detail: • After the group-buy ended, it took a few weeks for all vendors to enter their numbers. • Once we had the final numbers, we went back to each supplier and manufacturer to lock in their prices. Some suppliers update their pricing daily or weekly based on the market, so this couldn’t be done until we were ready to pay. That means 4 manufacturers (CNC machining and anodizing, rubber feet / silicone inserts / foam pads, packaging boxes, and PCB fabrication) and 4 suppliers (batteries, electrical components, solenoids, hot-swap sockets). • Hongtu agreed to pay most suppliers upfront; otherwise prices would have changed before each vendor paid its invoice. That meant a big accounting job to charge each of the 9 vendors the right amount for their quantities. • Pre-payment invoices were then sent to vendors, and most have now been paid; the remaining ones are being handled. • Hongtu has ordered the raw material, and production will start as soon as it is received. • Battery production is completed, and the batteries were shipped to Hongtu this morning. • All packaging boxes have been produced and are waiting for the EVA foam cutting before final assembly. All stickers have been made. • Production of the rubber feet, foam pads and silicone inserts is nearly completed.

Color matching: the set will be remade
- Nov 10, 2026 Color matching: the set will be remade Together with the designer and the other vendors, we have been working on the feedback from customers who are not satisfied with the colors. The produced set matches neither the original source material nor the renders used during the group-buy. The issue appears to come from Signature Plastics’ resin supplier, and the set is being remade to match the designer’s original vision. We don’t have a timeline yet, but we will share it as soon as we do. Once the replacement sets are produced, we will send you a form with two options: pay for shipping and receive the replacement set as soon as payment is received, or add it to a future or currently open order at no extra cost.
- Aug 22, 2026 Completion expected early September Signature Plastics now expects to complete production around the beginning of September, still in line with their original Q3 estimate. If this estimate holds, we should be able to ship your order around mid-September.
- Jun 28, 2026 Completion expected end of July According to Signature Plastics, the sets should be completed by the end of July!
- Apr 21, 2026 Pricing lowered Thanks to you, we achieved a great MOQ for this set. Prices have therefore been updated and lowered.

Fulfillment expected late Sept – mid-Oct
- Sep 18, 2026 Fulfillment expected late Sept – mid-Oct • Cases: CNC machining is wrapping up this week, after which the cases move straight into coloring and surface treatment. • PCBs: manufacturing is wrapping up this week. • Keycaps & carrying bags: both are in production and should be finished in about two weeks. • Switches: the final switch order is being placed this month. Given the current progress, the manufacturer’s ETA for fulfillment is late September at the earliest and mid-October at the latest. We originally planned to ship the boards to our warehouse by rail. If they leave around late September or October, we will keep that option and still dispatch orders within our original Q4 2026 estimate. If not, we will ship everything by air instead.
