One sent, two in the mailbox to be picked up tomorrow morning, tracking links sent to everyone.
Suggested assembly order for the kits: put the buttons in the frame, put the frame in the front of the case, remove the backing from the double-sided tape on the back of the frame, and then gently push the board down onto it. This way you know it's lined up properly. I did consider putting the double sided tape on the other side (to stick it to the case instead of the board) but I did that to mine and immediately hated it because I could slightly see the tape through the clear case.
These took more rework than I would like during assembly (after the first pass soldering five boards, one fully worked, one had a single nonfunctional button, and the others had incorrectly soldered FFC connectors and/or displays). The main thing I learned from this is to just have a factory do PCBA for me if I'm making several of something, at least for things like FFCs.
On that note, I fully tested each one before packaging it, but do let me know if they arrive non-functional. The solution is likely to be "refund" rather than "I send you a new one" (I don't, at the moment, have any new ones to send) but I would feel very bad about selling you a broken thing.
Thanks for ordering from Emily's Mildly Cursed Electronics. May you each lose at most one screw.
