Is there anyone willing to take over an order for a Poker with browns? I'll give it up for $100. If you are interested please PM me.

Thanks!

Is there any chance that you're still taking orders for the KBT Race Limited Edition? Trying to get either one of these or (preferably) one of the Pure LE.

My main board just broke yesterday and I would like to get a new board faster than this would come, so If any one is looking to get a white Race with blues, it would be awesome if you could replace my order.

How much are we talking? I would need it shipped to Canada.

Selling my spot on this group buy. I'm in for a Poker with Browns. I'm offering the spot at $95. Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks!

Here's a silly question... What's the difference (if any) between the Vortex KBT Pure LE and the non-vortex one? Is it just a rebranding or is there something more to it? Thanks for the info regardless. xDD

jdcarpe · « **Reply #157 on:** Thu, 14 June 2012, 09:36:26 »

Vortex is the manufacturer. KBC and KBT are the "brands" they produce.

I don't think that's in stock picture, NO showing any LED.

Whatever, I am asking because I am so interesting how they can get it faster then us (I know they will get some of course).

Their product page claims 5+ in stock, so take that for whatever you want. As for how they get them faster, I've been wondering the same thing about iMav's Race group buy for months now...I keep seeing those pop up on other vendor's sites while that group buy keeps getting missed shipping dates that string out for months at a time.

I hope you mean FROM China, good sir. If they have, then that's good news. I'm practically dying in anticipation for my first mechanical.

OkGold · « **Reply #164 on:** Fri, 15 June 2012, 11:10:51 »

haha, sorry Narc, that's not how China works. Feng has to have it delivered to a China address, so he can send it to his US address, so he can send it to us!

scoot · « **Reply #165 on:** Fri, 15 June 2012, 15:22:18 »

How are they shipping before the deadline? Im assuming the orders will be placed on the 30th, so how are they shipping to another address in china on the 15th? Not that it matters, I am just curious. xD

I really hope Vortex worked out the flickering LED issues with the Race. I'm excited for the board, but I don't want a dysfunctional keyboard in a couple of months...

If you read the updates to the first post, you'll see that they're being shipped at the same time.

Seeing as how the deadline is 6/30, and he has some shipping at 6/15, I don't think all orders shipped.

feng · « **Reply #172 on:** Mon, 18 June 2012, 10:53:26 »

Sorry about the confusion. Only one order has been shipped so far. It's a Poker w/ black switch. The others should arrive to me in 1-2 weeks.

qtan5370 · « **Reply #173 on:** Mon, 18 June 2012, 11:36:06 »

KBT, KBC are hard to work with. They never give you real picture for item, never tell you how much you can get (I can place a request for 50 board and I got 10 in delivery, it happened more than once), and so far every time they delay as least twice.

But, they had a such good demand from the market.

Paulie · « **Reply #174 on:** Tue, 19 June 2012, 22:35:45 »

I figure that I've been good with money for a while, and deserve to treat myself to a white Race with browns. Payment sent!

chord · « **Reply #175 on:** Thu, 21 June 2012, 15:00:23 »

Do the Poker's have that funny KBC 7 key as in the picture or standard keyset?

They only come with standard keyset.

Moar pix:

feng, I am hearing some worrying stuff from retailers that are importing Limited Edition Race, they are saying the boards are only available with Cherry MX Red, Black or Brown... I've heard this from two retailers now... you need to get on top of this and make sure MX Blue really are available :'/

Sorry guys, I disappointed you once again. Pink Race LE is not available. And they're not even planning to make it in the future.

That's sad to hear. I'm really hoping the white one makes it, but at this rate, we'll be lucky to get anything..

It's a sample. I was told the Pink Race LE didn't get to the process of volume production.

Cindori · « **Reply #187 on:** Mon, 25 June 2012, 16:39:31 »

Good news for people who ordered Pink version

Rabbit Web Factory/ have announced they will sell white and pink keycaps for $35.

So theoretically you can still get the Pink Limited Race by buying a white one and switching caps.

They don't have the caps in hand yet though, and I think we know to not rely on Vortex by now...
But you might want to stay updated with them if you already promised some girl the keyboard

I'm pretty sure if you sent it just after the outage you were too late as the deadline was june 30th, you should probably try pming feng but i'm fairly certain you missed the deadline as all keyboards have gone out.

malelan · « **Reply #197 on:** Wed, 01 August 2012, 11:17:49 »

understood, my payment actually went through before the outage ont he 26th.

however, if you're right thats fine, i'll pm feng to talk about a refund.
