Did your ER9 firmware and LTwoo app software update with blip compatibility? Only one of my ER9 groupsets updated, while the other one did not. It your ER9 did update, it's possible you can just get the TT shifters/levers and use your current hardware.

Also I've been cruising Chinese social media (using translation algorithms). The new ERX has already been released over there. They also seem to be referring to the new ERX as the blue edition (or blue print). Interestingly enough they have the same concerns about LTwoo in regards to after sales support, durability and cost value compared to 105 Di2.

I just pulled the trigger on the new edition of eRX from 80 Design Store, which has been very responsive. This is my second purchase from them and previously it was the eR9. I need a new set for my new bike, so I figured to take advantage of the currently running AliExpress promotions. Here are some images for the new eRX. You would notice the new hood shape, which now looks more like Shimano's. I hope this will improve the ergonomic of the shifters.
If anyone is interested, I saw this link from Baidu with more images - https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9320586786
Looks like the new eRX is heavier than the previous one. If it is for all the improvement, I am all for it.

Blueprint is just the translation of L-Twoo's Chinese name - 蓝图 or lántú

I've been doing very little riding, so haven't updated anything in many weeks, because stuff has simply been working. I replaced my RD at the end of the season because it half died, i had a spare, and didnt have the patience to try to figure out the problem (pure case of kicking the can down the road).

Very interesting about the chinese market reporting the same concerns and problems as the west, thank you for that...

there's virtually no difference between ER9 and ERX. I put an ERX RD on a ER9 group, without even thinking about it. From there, newer versions should work with older versions. The blue edition stuff, idk, as, afaik, the charging port is now on the FD, not RD, so idk if that's cross compatible (although it still might be). If someone has free returns on Alix and cares to experiment, would be interesting.

in his new video trace velo indicate that LTwoo will not be selling the blue edition but go for the 3.0 version instead with USB-C and other stuff, no release date announced but he believe later this year.

he got confused. the blue version already has the usbc port on the fd and is already on sale on pandapodium. there is no version 3.0, except for next year, since the blue edition came out in spring last year.

at least, I think so

There's several. the first "blue edition" that was shown and nicknamed by Joe was more like a prototype, but it wasn't officially acknowledged by ltwoo as anything. The new one is called "blue" something by ltwoo and is probably the 3.0

The groupset is still on its way to me. I can check when I get them on my hands and report back.

So, I believe the new version Trace was referring is the one I just placed the order for. It is the same to what PandaPodium also sells. The new version does have updated hood shape, in addition to the new button layout.

I was also debating if I should wait for the new Magene groupset to be out for sale outside of China. The new extra button will be a nice change, but I need a groupset now and I am not sure if I want to beta test other new groupset. It's not that I expect a perfect second (third?) edition from Ltwoo would be perfert, but I assume Ltwoo has learned a thing or two from the previous ones. Also, my two eR9s somehow are still going strong.

for now no news on magene so your best bet is wheeltop or Ltwoo if you need one right now.
