Hey is the pink the limited edition or what?
I really really want a pink one >_> Can't though, even though the price is fair.
Also, will the keycaps be abs or pbt? Hoping for white pbts but I do know that's a long shot.
Last i heard this was the KBT race White limited edition, (with only the WASD and ESC lit up,)

feng,
Will you be doing a group buy like this for the Pure? My only problem with the race is that 1.5 Esc key. How am I supposed to put custom keys on there? Decisions...
nooooooooooo!
I was really hoping to have this by the 25th, we'll see, I think that might be asking too much now. Here's hoping!
Thanks for your help Feng, so they've been pushed back to the 25th now? that's a shame :/ I suppose there's really no chance of getting a board by the 25th then
really? that would be really fantastic if that could work out
sorry to bother you so much, but could you explain it in a bit more detail? are you in china or the US?
is currently kbc poker in stock?
how long does ship take?
Hi just the same question... do you ship to the UK and if yes how much will shipping be? Thanks
Im in for a red switch, shud I send payment?
Good luck for getting Poker.
I am tired with dueling with them, just no respond message on time, lol.
Noodles got ROLLBACKED!
Wlcm2gh!
constantly staring back at my while I type!He knows he can't turn his back on you.

Why am I not so surprised about the another Race Limited Edition's delay I was just told. :brick:
Dang.... I'll have to order some Pokers first.
Does anyone know what happened with sherryton's OrangeLED Pure buy? I can't get ANY response.
Also, what happened with iMav's Race GB from LAST YEAR? I can't even find the thread with google now.
So i cant enter for a KB until the 25 of this month ?
Is this is still going on ? Just asking i never participated in a GB and money is a bit low right now, gotta check the banks tomorrow.
^How long is delay?Until June!
Do you foresee any issues with acquiring the Pokers? Are the switches easily modified since there are few LEDs?Poker is not a problem, KBC has some stocks reserved for me. Since there are few LEDs, yeah it's much easier to modify the switches.
There was a thread with pictures of the pink LE, but I believe it got rollbacked >.< Seems to have had orange leds instead of pink.Updated the pictures. Thanks for Cindori. And you're back to the order list now. :)
I noticed that after the rollback my order disappeared off the list, hopefully you can add it back on.
I saw where you said the keycaps are ABS. How are they printed on the Poker and the Race?
Does anyone know where to get replacement keys for the Poker that have darker fonts? I want a Poker, but the font makes me cringe. I've seen pics of a brown font, as well as engraved letters, but assume these were from a past group buy?
Hi, I'm completely new to this, and I've been lurking around quite a bit as I want to replace my rubber-dome keyboard.
So I can order until the 25th of May, and all I do is send a payment and fill out the google docs form?
And regarding the limited edition when can we expect get them if we receive them? Late June? Thanks.
I can't send to you the money! Paypal said:" This recipient is currently unable to receive money."
It's been over 48hrs now, and I'm still getting the paypal error. Shall we just submit the google form, and you'll invoice our paypal account when you get things working again?
So just to be certain, we'd have to pay for the Race LE now right? And you'll be able to eventually find out when we'll be getting them?
Thanks, and nice to know your Paypal is finally working.
Is the deadline still 5/25? Also any news on if the Race LE Pink will actually have Pink LEDs in it?
Just put in an order for the browns! So excited! Thanks for the group buy offer! :)
Is the race still N-key rollover? I read somewhere that it was a messup on the manual, and its actually 6-key. Can anyone confirm this? I'm hesitant because I use a mac. :(
Feng, I just saw your update in the thread's OP. FYI, updates to that post don't seem to send alerts through GH's thread subscription tool, so if you want to alert us to anything important like that, you might want to also add a new post to the thread.
In any case, I'm sorry to hear the reds might not be available. I'd still very much prefer reds, but would take blues if that's all you can get. If browns are all that there is, I think I'll pass for now. Every board I have is browns. Thanks!

hey feng so do you have the kbc poker brown switch already at hand?
Feng, are you going to offer a GB for the Pures? I find that design to be the best, but it seems they are really hard to come by.OJ, I agree with the first part of your second sentence. But the second part, not so much. I just got two of them in the mail today. Both are Limited Editions with aluminum cases. Order one through Lin our EN TaoBao Agent and you should have it on your desk in about two weeks. EZPZ. :-)
Cheers,

does the lack of other switches besides browns apply to the Race LE's? I sure hope not ):
If anything, how feasible would it be to change all the switches yourself? It is something that is immensely difficult to do?

Cheers,
Everyone looking for Poker and KBC don't like getting pay...That's a business I never understand, why?
I'd also like to know if Pokers w/ Brown are ready to ship...
Whatever, I was paying for 40 poker weeks before and end up getting nothing(Well, I did get the money back)...I almost looking to fly to there to see if I can buy some...
I don't understand your comment. Was it directed at me?
So 4th of June... last update was 12th of May (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?30643-Group-Buy-KBC-Poker-and-KBT-Race-Limited-Edition-Deadline-6-10&p=590259&viewfull=1#post590259)... Any news?
It seems like stock for all of the KB+ boards is low or nonexistant. There are no Pure's in stock (I told you megnin! :smokin:) [jk], Pokers aren't being offered with all known switch types. It's rather depressing actually :'( . I hope that you are able to resolve everything Feng, and keep us posted if you end up doing a Pure GB in the future (even though there won't be any stock for at least a week.)
Cheers,
Interested in one of these, you take payments in CAD or USD?
I want a LE race. I rather like the pink keycaps withe the orange leds. are these the only 2 possible colors? What about an aluminium case?
p.s. offers some pretty good prices for Pures in the classified section. Not sure if I'll do Pure GB in the future since I don't think I can do it as cheap as p.s. does. :/
I take USD.
Yeah those are the only two colors for Race LE. No aluminum cases.
Unfortunately I've been looking for one with Purple LEDs...none seem to exist.
Cheers,

The hell is with paypal, 161USD and it wants to charge me 171 CAD? Fee is only 1.61 for a gift payment.
Currency change possibly?CAD was more than USD when I sent the money :(
It's only to be expected because it has been their behaviour for a long time.
But that does not make it justified.
Something is kind of screwed up if I am to expect to be lied to by the manufacturer.
And read my post again, I did not blame feng.
Any chance I could still jump on a Poker with MX browns?
Yeah I'm still taking orders since these keyboards are still not released yet.
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.
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.
Pure LE is available @ mechanicalkeyboards.com
Pure LE is available @ mechanicalkeyboards.com
Really in stock? I did not see picture of the boards.
brown - http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=124
red - http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=125
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). :P
Arrive in China next week! Eventually. :(
UPDATE (6/15): These will arrive in China next week! And it will take about 3-5 days shipped to me.
Do we know which orders shipped?
If you read the updates to the first post, you'll see that they're being shipped at the same time.
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! :DI wish I could treat myself to a Canon 5D Mark II for going to Yellowstone, but I don't have enough money. :/
Do the Poker's have that funny KBC 7 key as in the picture or standard keyset?They only come with standard keyset.
my birthday is 6th July...
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.
What is this then? (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?32636-Limtied-Edition-RACE)
can i get confirmation that i'm on this list, still haven't seen anything come in.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.

just wanted to reply and say that i pm'd feng and we got everything cleared up, he was able to get me the stuff i ordered, and i totally stand by him for future groupbuys, was just a miscommunication, thanks!
