Here are some photos of what I received. Haven't finished installing yet but I can confirm that it supports 13 speed. Also you can now swap the paddle buttons.

I'm now glad that I passed this. That left shifter looks terrible.

Anyone knows how to buy the ELEVER aka flatbar shifters they have on their website since a long time? There is a new eR9 offering on AliX with a thumb shifter but that is yet a different one.

Does anyone know if the new derailleur is compatible with old er9/eGr shifters?

Not compatible.

gotta agree it looks bad but I just left my er7 left shifter on so they look similar besides the carbon.

Tom Bowers has a YouTube review up now.

No spoilers...but I'm not upset I decided to go for a Shimano build.

Currently seeing eGR for $287 shipped after coupons. That's absurdly cheap.

At $320 most of his criticism is a bit of harsh. Like apparently build quality, if it shifts and is reliable, at this price point, I wouldn't care. The usb c cover waterproofing:
These are pretty common now, if you don't like this one buy one from a marine shop or somewhere else.

Couldnt agree more. For me, I like the ltwoo system and it works just fine for me. Today was doing some offroad inclines and it shifted crisp under power and didnt sound/feel like it was struggling one bit. Braking is still better than my 105 mechanical i came from, shifter ergo is way more comfortable than the prior generations (I do find the 105 hoods more comfortable tho). Shifter buttons are tactile enough that I don't find myself second guessing much if any.

I will agree that the 50 tooth does semi struggle a bit to ramp up to it but for me that is a last resort gear so I don't mind it.

Honestly very disappointed in Ltwoo as it seems the shifters did not change at all compared to old version outside of the letter color. I also hoped older version would get button change and 13 speed update as 80 designer stated they would but it seems Ltwoo does not care about their older products.

If it works, it works. For the price it's better than Wheeltop GeX and pretty close to GRX Di2.

Are early deraileur cages compatible with this? I would like to use my shimano 10-51 cassette.

There is no gap in paddle lever on oficial website. It might be some early prerelease units. To be fair i would prefer paddles on both left and right banda.

Every link I check (US) has these for over $400- wtf.

Does this one now show the discount? Don't forget to use the coupons.
