THE50R2spots

To everyone who opens this page,

I started to prepare for THE50R2 in Jan, 2019. The original plan was to make 150 kits with both left pad and right version. Sadly, both PCB manufacturer and CNC manufacturer failed to deliver final products. The new manufacturer took over 150 unfinished THE50R2 kits in Q3 2021. But due to the careless processing and storing before, most of these kits were no longer suitable for delivering. It’s a tough decision to drop off all those kits with serious flaws. And the new manufacturer and I have tried some ways to finish the surface processing of the those kits left. Until now, we have 36 kits good to deliver.

THE50R2从2019年1月开始准备，原本计划是交付共150套左右数字区版本的套件。不幸的是，当时的PCB生产商和CNC生产商都没能交付最后的产品。2021年第三季度的时候，新的CNC生产商接手了未完成的150套THE50R2套件。但是由于之前不当的生产和储存，大多数产品已经不在满足交付条件。我不得不决定放弃这些瑕疵品。新生产商和我试过一些表面处理方案，最终36套可以满足交付条件。

I know many folks are waiting for THE50R2 to come, and this batch obviously could not let all of them get one. So I decided to give priority of purchasing this batch of THE50R2 to those return customers who have purchased 3 and 3+ kits from me before 8/31. If there are still some left, I will open them to all return customers after 9/1. I know a lot of folks may not be happy with this but I hope you could understand, without these customers I might not be able to make keeb spots for you any longer.

我知道很多朋友在等THE50R2，但是显然第一批的数量不足以让每个人都买到一把。所以我打算在8月31日之前先让所有买过3个以及3个套件以上的用户优先购买，之后如果还有剩余的套件，再开放给所有买过套件的用户购买。我知道这可能会引起一些朋友的不满，但是我希望大家能理解，如果没有这些用户的支持，我现在恐怕已经没有能力再做现货给大家。

I still want to make more THE50R2 to deliver later this year, and meet the demands of layouts and colors. I am thinking of reservation of spots. I will announce the details after I sort all things out.
Again, I apologize that the spots of THE50R2 didn’t turn out well and keeping everyone waiting for so long.

今年接下来我还是会做更多THE50R2，尽量多做一些颜色和佩列满足大家的需求。可能会开启预订，我会在确定之后公布详情。
对于THE50R2现货的不顺利和让大家等待这么久，我再次表示歉意。
