Thanks for being a part of the project! The updates page on the project web site is the most accurate in terms of the timeline. As noted near the top of that page, the backlog is always about a couple months. There is no progress tracking; the next and final update will be the email with tracking!

Firmware update:
As per our recent discussions, all of the project's firmware development is now available in one place, Rico's github: https://github.com/mymakercorner/
The leyden_jar branch is current for the Leyden Jar controller. https://github.com/mymakercorner/vial-q ... leyden_jar
The xwhatsit_vial branch is current for the finalized NathanA updates of xwhatsit.
Other branches are for testing.
Additionally, I have attached an untested and unsupported Leyden Jar port of all the various xwhatsit boards, along with a python script that does the porting. I just sent it to Rico. It's provided untested, as is, but any fixes would be helpful. So far the script is extremely preliminary and doesn't properly port over all of the features, the new calibration binning, the ability to check or uncheck in Vial to split or unsplit keys, etc. If you're on Windows, QMK WSL compiles in minutes compared to the hours QMK MSYS takes. This is only for those who have soldered a Leyden Jar controller to one of these other keyboards (F62, F77, F15, F Ortho, F50) and are willing to do some testing.

Pad printing update:
After nearly six years of R&D and tooling work, pad printed Model M and Model F keys are finally available to order!
https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product ... f-key-set/
The first production batch of 25 sets has been completed this month, with the remaining sets to be completed over the coming months.
I am working on confirming that the M13 trackpoint (including special G H B) sets can be made. I will post an update after opening those sets up to orders on the project website. If you want one of those sets, you can't order them just yet but keep checking the forums for an update. I should find out next week.
Apologies for the low quality blurriness of areas of the photos; it is just the photo not the keys.
See the product page for additional details.
