[^cable]: According to [the video "How It's Made: The Master Forge,"](https://youtu.be/7wb-JlZ2qP0?feature=shared&t=1988) there has been a slight change in the cables. Instead of using braided or coiled cables, insulated cables are now used, which are much more expensive and higher in quality.
[^trackball]: According to [the official documentation](https://docs.charachorder.com/Master%20Forge.html#forge-website-pre-orders), as of March of 2025, the Forge Trackball Bolt-On has not finished development. As such, some pre-orders and Kickstarter backers may not receive their trackball bolt-ons with their Master Forge. These will be shipped at a later time.
