Since I have actually seen and tested a review unit, I'd say there's nothing to worry about. They are going to be here. I'll see what I can find out and pass it along to you guys.

Yeah I ordered a couple early November and haven't heard a thing (no response to emails either).
Hope he's OK. I have to wonder why there wasn't something posted on his website about his emergencies, seeing as how someone was obviously on there to update the estimated shipping dates. I was all ready to initiate a charge back since my emails were being ignored.

looks like production issues and how the manufacturing company prioritized his order:
--- Quote ---Hi Arthur,
As you may know, I have been expecting delivery within the 1st week of December of the first batch of joysticks - approx. 5,000 of the 10,000 pcs orders. The current US arrival estimate has been December 6-9th. I have been in a bit of a battle with the factory in Shenzhen that I'm using. Normally I would use a factory with whom I have a very strong relationship, however they could not accept such a small order of 10,000 pcs. I know it sounds like a lot, but in manufacturing, where they do 100K-1Mill pc runs, my order is very low.
As such, for the last week I've been having a delivery conflict with the factory. They keep re-prioritizing my order back and back and after the past week of trying to convince them to stay with the December schedule, the other evening (Monday morning their time) I've been told that I will not have my orders built until December 18-19 to the 22-23 , which means they will not arrive until after the New Year, nearly a month behind schedule.
This is puts things in a position where these joysticks were for presents for the holidays and my timing was meant for just that which has now been thrown off completely.
I am a very fair and honest person, and I will not expect anyone to have to wait any further for their orders, so if you or anyone else do not wish to wait, I will fully honor and fully refund any order and I will process the return. I can not guarantee that if anyone re-orders later that I will have enough left to take an order from them later on, again, this is only a 10,000 piece run and as it stands I am at over 8,000 orders so there are not many left.
I apologize for this inconvenience to you and everyone and I am trying to get in a DHL shipment of at least a few hundred for the very early orders that were taken in order to at least get a small batch out to very early buyers.
Regards,
Curt

Oh. I got the same response this morning - and suggested he do a batch email. At the very least he emailed someone else. Of course the surgery thing is a consideration but it shouldn't be a stop sign to inquiring into things. This thread is appropriate.
