I just received my second q8 this one is from the 2nd batch and I must say it is better finished/cleaner inside
The screws are different and not stripped this time
The led in the switch is a bit dimmer though but uniformly lit (but my first one was also)
The original is better aligned and is easier to screw thatn the second one.
Once the 3rd one comes ill try and make comparison shots

I was notified on 9-28-17 from BG.
I am about an 11/2 from Rowland Heights so it should probably get here sooner than the 10th.
First report above
seems like TF did dim the switch led a bit, like on the proto
So side by side one could see it then.
If only one comes, itāll be harder
Mine has landed in the USA, so tracking now works on the FedEx site. It says the shipment should arrive Thu 10/12/2017 by end of day! That actually seems like a long time, even for FedEx Smartpost. Iām hoping it comes near the beginning of the week instead.
Bump sensitivity is an inherent issue in any light without springs on both ends. However, longer cells or BAT- magnets would probably help. Iāve used this approach before and it was effective.
Another option is possibly adding some short/long press detection to the firmware and resuming at the previous level after a short press. This could probably make the Q8 tolerate pretty long interruptions of power, depending on how fast the MCUās SRAM decays. I suspect that a couple ānoinitā vars checked on boot could probably make bumps a non-issue.
Remember when joggers ran with portable CD players?
Those had to be developed to tolerate all sorts of bumping and jarring, I recall.
I guess they cached a few seconds of the recording. Like the ā5-second obscenity delayā on live television ā¦
To clarify, I am using 30Q button tops from MTN Electronics that appear to be about 66.5mm. Also to clarify this is not something I am hugely concerned about. I have a M43 which had a similar issue and I have never run into an issue with that yet and am not worried either.
