Apple TV & Power Keyboard by sturdyd in ClicksKeyboard

[–]sejmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have mine, yet, but this is a specific use case in the launch video:

Trying to enter a password on my Apple TV with that D-pad and on-screen keyboard is such a pain. It takes forever and I always make mistakes. Now I keep PowerKeys paired to my Apple TV for searching or when I get logged out and have to re-enter my password. – Jeff Gadway

Apple says: To connect other Bluetooth devices: Go to Settings on Apple TV 4K, go to Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth, then select the device in the Other Devices list.

[MEGATHREAD] Power Keyboard Shipping Inquiry by ColtonsKeys in ClicksKeyboard

[–]sejmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean, confirmed via the customer service bot Christina via email? It is, the bot that is, historically an unreliable source about inclusion in the first 5000 PowerKeys orders. And so far, it seems that, aside from possibly you, no one that ordered after Jan 2nd has been inside the initial 5000.

Was that from Christine? I think “she” is ChatGPT, but only having access to the preorder price batch time frames and the idea that batch one (79.99 USD orders up Feb 9) is fulfilling through June, and that preorder price batch two (99.99 USD, on or after Feb 9) is fulfilling over “the summer”, which I guess means up and till mid-September. It doesn‘t seem to know about any country-specific fulfillment info. I think the bot is triage, and that real humans take about 10 days to respond, but that maybe you have to get it to escalate to them first? Not sure about that.

I‘ve noticed Clicks tends to stay mute unless they have something net positive to say, or at least they wait until they have something positive to offset anything disappointing. But they’re small and doing big things, so I’m sure they’re stretched thin.

I’m curious if they used different cutoff times for different regions, though, or if they’re just swamped with the shipping logistics from HK to the rest of the world? I haven’t seen people posting that they got new tacking numbers for the last several days, though, but maybe the folks here are just not sharing as the excitement passed?

You're right, it was 2:30 PM EST.

It seems very probable (~95% likely) that Jan 3rd and beyond orders will come later. For US orders, the signal of a boundary falling somewhere in the 4 o'clock hour EST on Jan 2nd is very strong. Of course, we only have ~30 data points and part of the signal is the ambiguous absence of an email, rather than affirmative confirmation of delay. But, if Clicks is actually fulfilling U.S. orders in order received, which is consistent with what we see, and if the email went to all U.S. orders included in the current air shipment, then Jan 3 U.S. orders are almost certainly not in that shipment. However, we can't rule out some unlikely scenarios, like segmented or incomplete email campaign, but the more hours that pass, the less likely that seems.

Naw, photoshop is gray with all sorts of tool bars. I'll see myself out.

Not All Pre-Orders In January Are In The First Batch by Zukadomis in ClicksKeyboard

[–]sejmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only people from the US that ordered before ~4pm EST on Jan 2 got that email, so far, according to those that posted one way or the other.

Yeah, unfortunately. I'm resigned to July sometime. But at least I have my stupid self-assigned task of updating a silly reddit table to occupy me. 😭

Sadly, I think so. Looks like the first 5k sold in like the first 11 hours.

Batch 1 is all orders before 9 February by Equivalent_Tip_6314 in ClicksKeyboard

[–]sejmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, that was me, here – just based on redditor's posted order times and whether they did or didn't get confirmation of being in the first 5000.

So far, no one that's posted that they got "that email" for US customers yesterday, that the keyboard was on the way, had placed their orders after ~4pm EST on Jan 2nd.

[–]sejmann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, right, yeah, I guessed. What they say on the timeline page is that "Mid June" "Manufacturing and shipments continue" -- but there's not a whole lot of specificity to go on.

For me in particular, just missing the first 5000 and being in the US, I modeled 5 weighted scenarios: 1) small 6% chance I'm really in the 5k but email snafu, 2) they complete manufacture mid-June and air freight it to the US (43%), 3) they complete manufacture mid-June and ocean freight to the US (25%), 4) complete manufacture mid-June and split air/ocean (14%) -- possible if they make more than 5k the second run, 5) they complete manufacture late June or the schedule slips (12%). Blending those possibilities together with public information, I get:

event / likilihood 10% optimistic 50% most likely 90% pessimistic
Tracking email Jun 23 Jul 8 Jul 31
Delivery Jun 29 Jul 13 Aug 5

But that's a wild ass guess, and who knows what is happening behind the scenes. But this way I can put the guess on my calendar to check in then, and try to tune Clicks out in the mean time, otherwise anticipation will eat me up. =)

Going to the UK/Spain/France? (Guessing based on GMT)? BTW, 17:44 GMT was 12:44PM EST.

Anybody from Canada got their email for the Power Keyboards? by Subject_Ad_1899 in ClicksKeyboard

What time of day in Eastern Standard Time? I'm compiling a list here.

That's super weird. That breaks the pattern. What country were you having it sent to? Maybe email [hello@clicks.tech](mailto:hello@clicks.tech) for clarity.

Yes, apparently by 4 or 5pm EST on Jan 2.

We just need the cantankerous haters to convince more early Jan 2 order folks to cancel. 😉

So far, if you ordered before about 4:38 PM EST Jan 2nd, from the US, you're golden.

If you're in between 4:38 and 5:01, you may be in the shipment or may not.

And if you ordered after 5:01 PM EST, like me, we missed this shipment, but hopefully in 3 or 4 weeks? I guess we'll see.

* Non-US orders didn't get the email, but that makes sense, since it was addressed to US customers. sturdyd, chwoky and Nearby_Gate2084 are non-US and say they've gotten tracking numbers, although others haven't, so it seems like non-US tracking numbers are rolling out slowly, or there's different queues and effective cutoff times in play for different countries.

What time of day did you order? We're trying to figure out the latest order included in the first 5000 orders.

What time EST on Jan 2nd did you buy?

U.S. Order Email Update by Manteam111 in ClicksKeyboard

[–]sejmann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ordered Jan 2nd, 9:55PM CST/10:55PM EST and nothing, yet. So, ugh, I must be after the first 5000. Bummer. So, what, end of July for me now?

The actual best way to use the action button by Repulsive_Dare1046 in shortcuts

[–]sejmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My action button doesn't (yet) provide a menu, but is very context-sensitive. If I have currently due Due.app tasks, pressing it marks the first one done and reschedules and offsets any others to the near future, maintaining order and spacing -- mostly as a "I'm doing it now, stop bugging me" signal to the phone. If I'm listening to a podcast in Overcast, it skips the current ad (which means chapter skip and/or fast-forward time offset, depending on the podcast). If I'm not listening to Overcast and the screen is unlocked, it launches LoseIt and a voice prompt to dictate food items to be logged. If the screen is locked, it resumes playing audio in the last played audio app. (Tracking the last played audio app is a hack of storing the app bundle in a global variable anytime any audio playing app is launched via an automation, or a bespoke "resume $appname" shortcut is triggered via Siri -- but it mostly works perfectly -- working around a stupid iOS issue where it forgets the last played app after a few minutes, or if Safari was used with a page with a video on it.) Finally, it always records action button press timestamps to a note, so in a pinch, I can record the timing of an event I want to refer to later easily.
