Over the course of the past month we've been working on shipping out 1,500 devices, with 600 of these still awaiting shipment. As this shipment mainly fulfills orders placed in March and soon thereafter, any backer who placed their order within that time frame should keep an eye on their inbox for their tracking information. For subsequent orders, we're glad to announce that the wait for FunKey S microprocessors is nearly over! After several weeks of us waiting for news from our supplier, we now know that we will be receiving a complete shipment of microprocessors by the end of the month. While we're relieved to finally be receiving the final components needed to manufacture more devices and fulfill our remaining pre-orders, we'd like to apologize to the backers who've been waiting longer than initially expected for their devices. To answer a related question, shipment of these devices is expected to occur between the end of July and the middle of August, as several weeks will be needed to finish the device assembly process after the receipt of the microprocessors. Once this batch of devices is completed, however, we'll finally be able to not only fulfill all existing pre-orders, but also have additional units on hand to fulfill new orders as they are placed; no more waiting!

While we understand that it's been a long time for some of you, there's no need to worry; production is running smoothly, with this month's batch of PCBAs having been both manufactured and validated. By the end of next week the device assembly process will finish, with shipping still expected to occur this month. As this batch only includes 1,500 devices, only the oldest unfulfilled orders will be fulfilled this month (with the associated backers receiving tracking information after the shipment process begins 😉). For subsequent orders, we currently expect an unfortunate three-week delay that will likely push shipment of the May batch into June. For many reasons, not just Covid-19, global manufacturing capabilities are currently limited, with several components needed for FunKey S production affected as well. While we've been able to source alternate components in most cases, as this cannot be done for the V3S processor that powers the FunKey S, we've had to incur the previously mentioned three-week delay to wait for another shipment of the processors. While we're doing our best to shorten the delay as much as possible, we thought it was best to share the unfortunate news with you as soon as possible 🥺.
