Yeah....I'd like to buy one of these :) I'm not sure what I'd do about a knob though. I agree I'd like one that maybe has a light up ring vs the whole knob glowing.

Should be somewhere over the Pacific right now! :)
Good, maybe they will actually come in before I start my build!
Can these be preordered, and if so, how?
i want to be first in line to get one...
Well the day the box is scheduled to arrive at my door is April 9th. I still have to test and inspect. This is a new product, so you never know what screwups may have happened.
I would love to get pre-orders, but I don't want anybody to be angry. Like I said above, this is brand new. I don't know what issues I may have with manufacturing. If there is a glaring error that makes these unusable, I don't want to sell them. This same long delay happened with the FBv6 release as well. People were on pre-order for 3-4 months. I know some people are OK with this, other people are not. I have already shelled out lots of moola from my pocket to get these here and hopefully I will recoup it if it works. Fusion isn't a profit making venture, it barely pays for the cost of merchandise after everything is taken into account. But I love doing it, and I am hoping some of these new products might start pushing the profit vs. expenses curves further away from eachother. :)
Box has been held in customs... Welcome to a week's worth of paperwork to sort it out
There are hundreds of boards in the box. About 30 of the volume knobs. Similar numbers for the other first run products like the Relay Boards and FSAS's.
I individually program, test, and box each device. It is a labour intensive process but that's why I am very sure when I send something out that it works. Just for the FB, I actually turn a relay on with every output, check every LED, check every input port, power it via USB and wall jack, and make sure it is usable in the software. This is ontop of programming 2 different files into the microcontroller and verifying they are in there properly. I do this for every single board.
Well it went from Beijing to Hong Kong to Taiwan to Japan and now it is in Alaska, where it sits.
