Flipper Zero: How it’s made and tested

Just because they raised 4 million dollars doesn't mean they are immune to a global supply chain shortage.

It's only 5 months late, it's like you've never backed a Kickstarter before.

They were lucky and had the orders for the chip in before the shortage. If they didn't the delay would be a lot greater than 5 months.

Ok, it’s clear where you stand. I’m not here to be negative, only to share with folks interested in the product that they are significantly back logged. Hopefully everyone knows what the means in a Kickstarter context. Their marketing is great, the jury is still out on their actual product.

If you're not here to be negative, then 1) don't say "no sign of getting it" and "I've given up" about something that's going through the early to medium stages of production with lots of updates, and 2) don't just say you ordered it "last April" without even mentioning that it was already expected to take 10 months even then.

"If you can get one. They're behind schedule and haven't shipped any yet." would have been fine.
