I pre-ordered and am still waiting. Dave emailed me on 7/3 and told me mine would ship "next week". This was the second (maybe third) time he's told me this. And when I emailed him last week asking for an update... no response.
I understand that there may be delays in a project like this. But just tell the truth. I still have faith he will come through. But the lack of replies and lies is a little tiring....

Well, apparently a large shipment went out last night. I got mine this morning. I threw together a stand just to try it out. It works great.
Hopefully everyone else will get theirs as well.

It's great that people are receiving the parts they ordered. The real question here is, does anyone trust Dave enough to order stuff in the future? I really want one of those SW Yoke USB interfaces but I'm very hesitant to place an order with the kind of track record I've seen. One guy waited 57 weeks to get his pre-paid SW Yoke! Arcade collectors are so forgiving this guy because he makes stuff no one else ever will but I cannot pony up PayPal and feel confident in a transaction right now. Dave, please find a trusted distributor that will accept regular credit cards, PLEASE.

I was the one that just posted that I waited 57 weeks not months. I also baught a USB interface and got it 5 days later with Saturday delivery.
My feeling (And since I do not know Dave it is just that) is that he was great at making parts, and putting the silly things together took way longer than expected. Since the USB interface does not have to be assembled, I think it is a safer order.
Plus, I think that Havok had one for sale. Ask him.

I trust Dave enough.
I ran into some issues ordering with Dave, issues that anywhere else would've been sufficient to completely derail my order. I'm being vague because I don't think there's cause to tell the whole story.
I contacted Dave regarding the issues, and received a response in just hours. Dave and I worked together to resolve the issues so that neither of us suffered unduly. Today I received my Star Wars yoke and USB board that I ordered in December.
I can say with absolute confidence that I would place another order with Dave again, and that he is absolutely a man of honor. I think the only problem here is that Dave had taken on a project of significant complexity, and that he was excted he would be able to deliver a holy grail to our niche. He might've gotten a little ahead of himself in announcing, but I would've too with this offering.
