I talked briefly to Mike from Novelkeys at the Seattle meetup yesterday and he said that he had talked to Kailh about it around 2am on Friday morning and that they were investigating and would likely make some sort of official statement soon.
He also mentioned something about it possibly being related to Dare-U being the only people buying box switches for a while and how they may have asked Kaihua for a tighter fit?
Side note, Mike’s just like actually the best person ever.
