Smoke Tests, BackerKit Guide + SHIFT Beta Text
6 months ago
– Wed, Nov 26, 2025 at 06:31:14 AM
Hey backers!
We’re happy to share that the smoke tests have been sent out! Only 5% of backers will receive a smoke test, so if you don’t receive one during this process, your survey will go out with the rest of the backers once we’ve confirmed everything is working as expected!
If everything goes perfectly with the smoke test we’ll send the rest of the surveys on November 28th 2025!
When the surveys go out, we ask that you complete it as soon as possible so we can make our orders with our production partners. We’re looking to get 80% of the surveys filled before mass production starts.
We’ve included a guide to help you complete your surveys below as well as a quick update on some digital releases.
Digital Distribution
At this time, the SHIFT Beta text has been distributed to all backers expecting it! Backers will also receive an email through BackerKit with the download link once all surveys have been sent out to backers.
BackerKit Survey Guide
1) Select your country for shipping and click "Get Started". If you would like to upgrade to a higher pledge tier, locate the link under the "Get Started" button and click that instead.
Please note that if you switch pledge levels, add-ons selected on Kickstarter will not be automatically applied to BackerKit. If you upgrade your pledge, any money you previously spent on add-ons will be used toward the cost of your new tier. This means you’ll need to re-select any add-ons you still want after upgrading.
2) Please read the question prompts and proceed into the BackerKit "store" (Add-Ons section).
3) Once in the store, you’ll see a list of the items included in your Kickstarter pledge on the right side of the page. On the left, you’ll see the options for add-ons!
4) Once you've selected all the items you want, click "Next".
5) Enter your shipping address and click "Next".
6) Confirm the provided information is correct, provide a payment method, and click "Confirm"
Please note: Due to limitations using PayPal, it is not currently enabled as a payment option for this project. We are looking at making it available closer to when we’re charging cards for outstanding balances due to add-ons and shipping costs. Backers who intend to use PayPal as their payment method should be able to complete their surveys then.
7) You will see this below once you have completed the survey!
Surveys and addresses will be locked closer to fulfillment so you’ll be able to make changes even after submitting your survey until we let you know otherwise! Payment for outstanding balances and shipping will be collected at a later date.
Commonly Asked Questions on BackerKit Surveys
Can I upgrade my pledge through the survey?
Yes! When you get your survey hit the button below "Get Started". This will enable you to up your pledge tier in case you've decided you want a different deal!
You can also upgrade your pledge tier by clicking your pledge level reward, as seen below!
My payment didn’t go through and I was dropped from the Kickstarter. What do I do?
Don’t panic! You should still receive the BackerKit survey and you’ll be able to pay for your pledge there.
Kickstarter: Pledge Over Time
If you selected this payment method through Kickstarter, you will gain access to your survey once all three payments have been completed! You can read further about this payment method here.
