Even though we have been trying our best to get XM2w into your hands as soon as possible, we sadly will have to push back the release date. Due to external parties not meeting deadlines (even with a buffer added), we won't be able to start shipping out mice as planned in our (preliminary) schedule. In combination with (localized) lockdowns in China, missing these deadlines pushed back changes that still had to be made even further. One of those was an EMI issue, which we thought would be fixable via firmware but required us to make a hardware change instead, adding a few more weeks of delay on top of that. [...]
In hindsight, it would have been better to release the specifications of the mouse in March and open pre-orders once we were close to receiving stock. Considering how far along we were with the project back then, we were confident that a release in May was realistic, and the amount of bad luck delaying everything was not foreseeable.
We are aware how disappointing and frustrating this is and we are really sorry for the delay. Being gamers and hardware enthusiasts ourselves, just like you, we love how passionate you are about the XM2w - there is nothing more exciting for us than getting the mouse into your hands and showing you how awesome it is. What matters most to us is that we make a great product that is as close to perfection as can be.
