Haven't got anything yet, no. Seems like Jim has had more than a fair share of trouble with the manufacturer at pretty much every step of the process, so I kind of assumed shipping won't go smoothly either. I still have hope, though. :D |

so Jim is a known and trustworthy person? 2nd keycap campaign in like 6 years I have backed and I have seen zero new keycaps. |

Groppie, FYI just because you know something someone else doesnt know, it doesnt mean you are oh so smart and the world around you is filled with stupid - the way I imagine you see it. Try to grow up (probably too late by now) and spare your insults, be bigger and better person that way. Spitting venom around here will not make you grow. |

A bunch of things are even missing there... like the hilarious claim that he has ported Photoshop to the Amiga... or that he wrote a DooM engine that runs at 50fps on A500 (both of which noone ever saw, of course)
I'm surprised those keycaps actually were delivered for that matter. Still waiting for his "µDrive" (see lemon) |

no, this topic I've opened because I got tired of waiting, its going on since 3 years, keycaps supposedly were done 4 months ago, and now still waiting for shipping ?! and we're at update #126. (the regular emails about progress)
this was sent out 1 month ago
"Oct 31, 2022 • 1:22AM PDT
Shipping update!
So, we are slowly shipping out orders to all backers."
yet on the indiegogo page the guy today claims he doesnt know the shipping status. |

Quoting Groepaz... or that he wrote a DooM engine that runs at 50fps on A500 (both of which noone ever saw, of course
There is one now, not written by him, but runs very smooth on a stock A500 with 1MB RAM:

Yeah seen that one, quite an awesome achivement. It's not actually running DooM though iirc |
