KBT Race 2
I got my Race 2 from Rabbitwebfactory. I got the Limited edition model because, personally, I enjoyed the look of the white caps. As you can see, the green backlighting is very vivid and on the highest setting is easily viewable in bright light. The white keycaps of the Race 2 feel much smoother (maybe slick is more the word I'm looking for) than those of the white Race which felt chalky. I went with brown switches because I currently do not own a board with browns, and if I didn't like it, I had already decided that I was changing it to clears, so it didn't matter. Personally, I feel that browns are a little bit scratchy, but I'm currently waiting on my replacement switches to come in, so hopefully, they will break in by then.
Pros:
Layout and function layer- They have made the function layer very helpful as for launching apps and selecting both a delay level and keeping media keys.
Cons:
Case-The case feels very flimsy and light. Personally, I do not like plastic cases on my keyboards anyways, so I replaced mine with an IMSTO aluminum case.
Keycaps-Though they feel better than those of the original Race, I feel like the finish will chip easily. Time will tell.
I will post an updated review after I've had the keyboard for a fair amount of time, however, the review will be done in 2 parts; with, and without modifications.
