# Foot in Mouth Designs ## Posts - [Where's the Horse?](https://fimdesigns.com/wheres-the-horse/): It was brought to my attention some months ago that my relevance had been falling off due to my lack of involvement in the community. The person who proposed this is a good friend and someone I trust; they were also spot on. About a year ago I started to feel a bit overwhelmed with it all, if I am completely honest. Some might also say I had a bit of imposter syndrome because I never really considered myself a full-fledged designer but it was a title that I was given by the community. I also felt a bit socially […] - [Melody Redux is Go for Launch!](https://fimdesigns.com/melody-redux-is-go-for-launch/): The interest check for Melody Redux was a success and vendor orders have been placed. Stay tuned for more updates to come! - [Melody Redux is Finally Here!](https://fimdesigns.com/melody-redux-is-finally-here/): PuNkShoO’s long-awaited follow-up to the Aflion Melody is finally here! This awesome switch concept aims to bring back the fun of the original with some new QoL improvements in that awesome vibrant colorway you all have come to love. Check out the interest check links below and please take a moment to complete he IC form so that we can help get these babies off the ground! GeekHackRedditInterest Check FormPuNkShoO’s Other Projects - [Big Little Project Update](https://fimdesigns.com/big-little-project-update/): Hope everyone is doing awesome! Things had been a little slow here at FiM at the beginning of the year due to various manufacturing and economic circumstances but we’re finally making some moves with the goodness coming in 2024. To begin, Summertimes are nearly sold out across the globe with Summertime V2 (POM top) available in CN and SEA regions. Every day we move a little closer to making these available in western markets so be sure to follow your favorite affiliated vendors for those offerings. With that being said, FiM will have a limited stock of Summertime V2 available […] - [Moving Onward and Upward](https://fimdesigns.com/moving-onward-and-upward/): Hope everyone had an awesome holiday season and kicked on 2024 the right way! I am back “in office” and stoked for some of the upcoming good good coming this year. Summertime V2 has been in my possession since 12/26 and I’ve been driving them since then. I will be using these switches until the end of next week wherein I intend to approve them for production. So far these are even more excellent than the original good Summertimes I received for my original assessment and approval. These switches are not only the smoothness I was expecting but allow us […] - [Summertime Potential Quick Fix](https://fimdesigns.com/summertime-bandaid-fix/): I would like to reiterate, the batch that Keebhut received is not the same batch that was produced for other vendors and the sheer amount of error switches seems to be isolated to their batch. This is not to say that every vendor has 100% success rate. It is still undetermined how the other batches are but so far it seems the majority of the other switches are fine with a few customers getting the occasional “stuck” switch. Note: If you have supported previous projects you can steal the tops off of RBFs for the Summertimes to rectify the stuck […] - [Summertime in Wintertime: Not so hot](https://fimdesigns.com/summertime-in-wintertime-not-so-hot/): It has come to our attention that, while in the process of shipping orders, it was discovered that the Keebhut batch of Summertimes consisted of a much higher than acceptable number of outliers which exhibit tolerance issues that place some of them outside of the intended design. While the issue appeared to be resolved and is far less than the original non-shipped orders, for some reason Gateron dropped the ball somewhere and Keebhut’s batch variance is way out of spec. Unfortunately, with the ones that were tested we have been unable to determine the exact number of problematic switches, which […] - [Weekly Update 12/6](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-12-6/): Summertimes have arrived at most of the vendors globally. Those who have not received them yet should be receiving them by end of week from my understanding. Lets make sure to give them a bit of time after receiving to fulfill their orders. Additionally, if you could please share your Summertime builds on social media and give me a tag I would greatly appreciate it. I am very excited to see what configurations all of you come up with and I want to share it with the world! Akumarin IC is live over on GeekHack and Meletrix pole is live […] - [Weekly Update 11/29](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-11-29/): I have been advised that Summertimes are out in the wild in some parts of the world and that NA units have finally shipped to vendors. Those should arrive shortly NA followed by by AU and SEA availability. Show us your Summertime builds on social media and share your links in the Discord! Indulgence samples are finally ACTUALLY on their way after a bit of delay and miscommunication on the production/shipping timelines. I have to consider this before running the switch. If anyone has experience working with or can put me into contact with someone who has worked with Keygeek […] - [BCFM Sale Success!](https://fimdesigns.com/bcfm-sale-success/): All orders have been packed, labeled, and are ready to for post office run tomorrow. Thank you everyone for helping me clear inventory to make way for Snow Drift and/or Indulgence projects as well as other upcoming new ventures. Y’all rock! Not finding what you want? Some vendors still have a little time remaining so check out our vendors! Most of them are having some epic sales as well. Go get ya some deals! - [The Beat Drops & Launch Discount](https://fimdesigns.com/the-beat-drops-launch-discount/): Beat Drops are now live on site at a 10% discount. Use code LAUNCHTEST to get a set of Beat Drops for $3.50. Limited to 10 uses, 1 per user. - [Site Soft Launch & BFCM](https://fimdesigns.com/site-soft-launch-bfcm/): The website is finished enough that I am comfortable enough to share it with the public. I will be doing my best to use it as a non-Discord resource for updates for folks who do not participate in Discord and as a hub for project details. I have also opened a storefront to help eliminate my manual involvement with the invoicing processes for those who wish to directly support future projects via limited direct purchases. With that being said, my switch offerings will change from 110 ct to 90 ct bags to make them a bit more accessible. My prices […] - [Summertime Actually](https://fimdesigns.com/summertime-actually/): My small Summertime batch was received this morning, QCed, and tested for the duration of the day in a build. I am happy with the results and have approved the final production quantities for this batch. Finished Summertimes using the new stem mold should be shipping out to vendors this and next week. I am over the moon thrilled! - [Weekly Update 11/11](https://fimdesigns.com/480-2/): Summertime production is underway with the first batch finished and heading my way for approval. They should arrive early next week and once approved will finish production then be on their way to vendors. Snow Drift are in a rough spot. Found out that the intended design has actuation issues and probably contributes to Gateron’s push to have a new mold made. Makes alot more sense now. See proposed alternatives in ⁠the corresponding Discord channel. Still patiently waiting for those Indulgence samples to get here. BSUN, Philikey, and Jixian general samples are on their way to me. No promises that […] - [Weekly Update 11/5](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-11-5/): Summertimes should be in production now. I will be confirming ship dates to vendors later today or tomorrow. Indulgence samples are completed and should be on their way. Will have more details when I receive and approve them. I’ll also create a Discord channel once that’s done and I am prepared to move forward with the pet project so stay tuned. Use ⁠project-discussion in Discord to discuss further and see teased renders, specs, and photos for the time being. Hopefully have more updates later this week and possibly another YouTube video if all goes well. - [Weekly Update 10/26](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-10-26/): Summertimes have gone into production with the new molds this week. We are still on track for early November if all goes well. I will update y’all when/if I get any more information. Still waiting on Indulgence samples from Keygeek. /waiting.gif Cream Sodas, Root Beer Floats, and Melodies still going strong and available at our partner vendors. Melodies may experience a brief gap during the holidays as we prepare the next run. Please let your vendors know you’re interested so we can get an accurate feel for how many to produce. Snow Drift is simmering while we wait for Summertime […] - [Weekly Update 10/19](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-10-19/): I spoke with Gateron on Monday and the new Summertime stem molds are slated to arrive soon with production being scheduled for October 25th. It usually takes up to 3 weeks for switches to be produced but I have been advised that Summertime are a priority and should complete production much sooner. Your patience is very much appreciated while we make sure mass production QC meets the expectation. Additionally, please give your vendors time for logistics with regard to the completed production units once they are finished. Beat Drops (Melody stems) bags are in production and should be completing and […] - [Summertime Update and Delivery Delays](https://fimdesigns.com/summertime-update-and-delivery-delays/): tl;dr: There was an error at the Gateron factory severely affecting the quality of the end product. QC fell short and a subpar product was delivered to vendors. Gateron owned the mistake thoroughly and promptly. They are in-process of making it right. Timelines have been extended 5-6 weeks and we are working internally to discuss preorder handling, vendor QC, and more. Additional discussion can be found in the Discord server. Thank you for understanding. What happened? Several of our vendors and I received our Summertime switch orders yesterday. It goes without saying that we were all very excited, and some […] - [Weekly Update 6/29](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-6-29/): Minor updates this week! Nothing major to announce this week. Cream Sodas, Root Beer Floats, and Melody in stock worldwide. Be sure to show our favorite vendors some love for your switch needs! Don’t forget to clean out the remaining Runners, too! Summertime samples have shipped. DHL says 7/5 delivery. Yay holidays! Oh yeah, and I’m going to give away a fully built custom Cerakoted Forever65 with keycaps, Summertime switches, and more. Huge shoutout to Drift Mechanics for helping make this happen. Stay tuned for announcements on how to enter sometime in July. Y’all stay cool out there! - [Weekly Update 6/24](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-6-24/): Its “business as usual” with the majority of the switches. Summertime had a quantity oops at the factory so there’s been a small delay in samples while they finish producing my sample batch. Cream Sodas, Root Beer Floats, and Melodies are in stock at most vendors. Very happy to be able to keep my promise of in-stock high-quality switches thanks to everyone’s support! Jukebox is kind of back to square one. My concept artist didn’t work out. On the hunt for a CAD designer and PCB designer as well so if you have suggestions/contacts please hit me up! Thanks, again, […] - [Weekly Update 6/14](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-6-14/): Not a whole lot new this week but lets do an update regardless. Summertime prototype samples should be arriving next week. Jukebox is still waiting on concept art to finish. Cream Sodas are in-stock and fire as always. Root Beer Floats have landed in AUS and PH. So far the community is loving them! Melody are in-stock across the globe. Be sure to check out your regional vendors to pick up some of that linearn’t goodness. Runners: It is with a heavy heart that I have made the decision to sunset this project. As much as I and others in […] - [Weekly Update 6/7](https://fimdesigns.com/weekly-update-6-7/): How’s about we have a weekly update, eh? Summertime prototypes are in production now and should complete in a couple of weeks. Really looking forward to receiving these and hopefully approving them. Jukebox has been sent off for concept art and just waiting on that to complete. Hoping that it turns out well-enough to begin technical drawings to be translated to a 3D model. No rush on this project and I don’t expect the board will be available until 2024 but looking forward to working with everyone here to make it something amazing. Cream Sodas still out there doing Cream […] - [Weekly Update 5/31](https://fimdesigns.com/things-3/): Weekly update time! Let’s go! Cream Sodas are doing Cream Soda things. Love that y’all are loving them. Only update here is that future production runs will include Gateron’s new “triple thick leaf pin”. Does not affect the functionality of the switch. Root Beer Floats are now in-stock at many vendors. Get ’em while they’re hot! Melody has just recently restocked or will be restocking very shortly at your favorite vendors! Runner chattering issues are still being investigated with Aflion. Thank you everyone for providing me with videos, photos, and troubleshooting attempts so that I had something to demonstration the […] - [Weekly Update 5/23](https://fimdesigns.com/things/): Heya everybody! Here’s your weekly update! Cream Sodas are out here making waves and becoming a staple switch in the hobby. The in-stock commitment is really becoming a reality thanks to Gateron for a steady supply and our wonderful vendors for keeping that supply stocked. Be sure to hit up those awesome vendors and share the love with fellow community members who have not experienced the awesomeness of the Cream Sodas! Root Beer Floats are in-stock in NA and should be going in-stock internationally in the next few weeks. The feedback so far has been pretty awesome and I will […] - [Runner Things](https://fimdesigns.com/things-2/): As some of you may be aware, a small number of Runners have been affected by an issue where the switches constantly actuate. As more and more Runners get into the hands of end users we are receiving more reports of this issue and are looking for a fix for future runs as of writing this message. Please note: this does not affect ALL Runners and we are trying to identify the bad mold or process which affected the small number of units. However, due to this issue and its potential to make a PCB appear as non-functional if a […] ## Pages - [WoW Character Randomizer](https://fimdesigns.com/wow-character-randomizer/): WoW Race-Class Randomizer (Alliance & Horde) WoW Race × Class Randomizer AnyAllianceHorde No AvoidAvoid WarriorAvoid PaladinAvoid HunterAvoid RogueAvoid PriestAvoid Death KnightAvoid ShamanAvoid MageAvoid WarlockAvoid MonkAvoid DruidAvoid Demon HunterAvoid Evoker Generate — Press “Generate” Faction Class - [Faction Coin Toss](https://fimdesigns.com/faction-coin-toss/): WoW Alliance vs Horde Coin Flip Click the coin to flip — Alliance or Horde?

Every beat of the music reverberates through you, as if it were syncing with your heartbeat, lifting your spirits higher with each pulse of sound, filling you with a deep, intoxicating […] - [Support](https://fimdesigns.com/support/): FAQ Coming Soon Contact Support - [Indulgence](https://fimdesigns.com/projects/indulgence-2/): Indulgence is a switch concept born from the work on the Summertime project. While trying to come up with a colorway I had just returned from a trip where I indulged daily on some sweet sweet Dirty Boba, something not available near me. Whilst available is many places, this beverage is a favorite treat of mine when traveling and in a late night craving I jokingly created this colorway purely out of desire to enjoy one of these beverages. This colorway was presented to the community as one of the colorway options for Summertime, and while it ultimately did not […] - [Snow Drift](https://fimdesigns.com/projects/snow-drift/): Snow Drift is an upcoming projects intended to be the tactile sister of Summertimes. This switch features sound characteristics found in the Summertimes switches paired with the “linearn’t” concept debuted in the Aflion Melody switch. Switch Specs: Snow Drift is currently in an early design phase. The project is designed to run through Gateron but we determined that there were not suitable existing molds for the stem and are current in the process of working on a way to make this happen. A proposed opaque stemmed option is on the table (see below) and we are in talks with other […] - [Gateron Summertime](https://fimdesigns.com/projects/gateron-summertime/): “On the most beautiful of days, you’ve gathered together with your closest friends and family for a delightful summer picnic. The air is filled with the sweet scent of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers as you spread out your picnic blankets and set up a colorful array of food and drinks. Laughter and lively conversations filled the air as you played games like frisbee and cornhole, with the sounds of friendly competition adding to the joyful ambiance. You indulged in an assortment of delicious homemade dishes, from refreshing fruits to mouthwatering grilled burgers, and washed down with your favorite […] - [The Garage](https://fimdesigns.com/the-garage-2/): The Garage Shortly after the release of Cream Sodas and Melodies it became a running joke that PuNkShoO would whittle the prototype switches in his garage.

You slide on your favorite runners, throw on your trusty windbreaker and head out the door. With your favorite tunes jamming in your ears you push on as you hit a new personal best.

You spend your day basking in the thrills of swings that take you higher and higher, seesaws that bounce you up and down, and monkey bars that challenge your climbing skills. As you look around, you see some kids busy with hopscotch, jump rope, or tag, while others are having a blast on the merry-go-round.
