Programmable version is a MUST HAVE. You'll drive HHKB out of business! Vortex, are you aware the very cheap Rapoo v7 is programmable? Any chance you can offer user-programmability?

Program-ability would make me buy one for sure. I have 2 Pokers, and it is way too similar otherwise. It does look nice though.

The anniversary edition sold for $4399 Taiwan Dollar (150 USD)
iMav's group buy price is a good indication of how much the price difference will be, IMHO.

Would be ineteresting to take a poll on LED's vs no LED's.....personaly as a gamer I would never buy a keyboard anymore without LEDs as I like to play in my office with the lights turned down. I have a green KBC Race but that purple is pretty slick. I agree a lit tenkeyless is what is really needed in the market.

I still wish a company would make a keyboard where the LEDS lit up when the key was pressed, would look awesome methinks.

So when someone walks into your room when you have all the lights off, you look super cool with your glowing keyboard, computer case and monitor.

They just look nice.

Vortex, do you have a price estimate? I would hate to wait a few months only to find out it's too much. I can only allow myself a certain budget for keyboards, so I need to start planning.

Yes!  LEDs just cheer me up.  I keep LED Christmas lights up year round on my ceilings in case I am feeling particularly awful.  LEDs = instant fest.  Depressing windowless office + LED keyboard = party time.

If the Race's price is any indication, it would probably land around 150 dollars. It is a little spendy, but this was originally conceived as a limited anniversary edition for KBTalking. I guess not so limited anymore.

Not forgetting. Pure anniversary is aluminum + LED + MX red. Regular edition is only 1800-2000 NTD (~55-60USD), and 2600 for MX reds.

woah, the regular aluminum + blue/black/brown will only be 60$? this is somewhat shocking to me, but i'll be overjoyed if it's true. heck, i'll be able to buy a second just for the case to work on my teensy based trackpoint variant ;)

That seems way too low. The regular version with abs caps is $82 before shipping from Qtan. With PBT's its $104. Or am I missing something?

No regular aluminum. It is plastic.
