Abstract: Precision measurements of the kinematics of weak decays represent the only model independent approach to address the still unknown absolute scale of neutrino masses in a laboratory experiment. The \ke, currently under construction at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, aims to improve the neutrino mass sensitivity obtained through precision spectroscopy of tritium $\beta$ decay by an order of magnitude to 200 meV/c$^2$ (90% CL). In this contribution we present an overview of the status of the major components of the experimental set-up and report results from first commissioning measurements.
