Tech... I am sure you don't care but you really should consider that your comments do not portrait your character in the best of light. Kenom has been nothing but nice, honest, respectful, and has been trying his best to keep this group buy going by his posts. I have bought a few things from him and they have always gone smoothly and he has been very nice the entire time. I just don't get the grudge that a few people have with Kenom.

Ken is a master manipulator. I used to be one too, and it takes one to know one. I have never bought anything off Ken, or had an argument with him. So none of this is redemption, or personal. My opinion is straight character observation. And, as most people know, I have a 6th sense in reading peoples character. If you have kept up with this thread its complaint after complaint, excuses after excuses. He's been doing this long enough there should be no issues getting this over and done with. Ken gives very little information till directly addressed. A good example was the diode pocket thats too small for the diodes, switches that dont work, and mistakes in engraving, and anodizing, and time frames for deliveries. People are so eager to get their units that they will over look these flaws just because he has milked the GB for so long. I read one member waited ~year, and there was still defects. The solution? He was sent some compound and told to fix it himself. I mean WTF. Thats not how you handle business. This was no GB. A GB is a gathering of money to buy a finished product at a discount. He collected the money, then started production. You all basically funded his idea to make money, and he cant even give you a properly working unit without defects, and waiting months on end to receive it. To me this is insane. What business runs like that? You front the money, he makes a profit off of you, and delivers nothing but excuses, and a semi working product. Funny thing is you except this without a problem. Why? Do any of you know Ken personally? He doesnt even donate to the forum. Check the donation goal menu on the left of the donation bar if you dont believe me. He doesnt help n00bs. In fact he really doesnt contribute to the forum at all. He is just here to make money off you. Wake up people. I know its hard to accept you've been manipulated, but check the facts. Every single time there is a problem its because of someone, or something else that caused it. Keep note of the facts, not the excuses, and sob stories. Those play on peoples good nature, and he uses that. Its not right, period.

What is going on with the switches, now that it has come up? Are we still getting the crappy ones or were new ones purchased?

I do remember reading someone was modifying switches. I don't remember Kenom saying he was buying them modified or modifying them himself though. The older Kryton Grooves I think used switches like from Deal Extreme. I actually bought my own from Deal Extreme (gold plated ones) that are shorter than the silver ones because they are less likely to bend and short against the side. Kenom might have bought those. I do wonder which ones he will be sending with them but I already have my own. I will be building under 1 watt lasers so the Deal Extreme switches should work just fine.

Kenom. Iv checked the spreadsheet and my package still hasn't shipped. It should have already considering I requested that you not anodize it. You kept it and anodized it anyways. I will be moving houses leaving my house in just 2 weeks. And wont be at my new address until 2 weeks after that. I'll be staying with friends during that time. This is truly getting ridiculous...
