Seems like you can still buy these overseas:

I'm interested too, I got my RACE today. :)
(I went with the first edition for the F11 and F12 keys)

Holy crap! Thanks so much! I hadn't seen this.  Have you ordered from this site before?  I've ordered from overseas, but always through Ebay so I'm not sure how it works.

I totally in love the Race2.  60% boards are great and I've got a bunch, but for productivity, having the arrow keys and the home, end and Pg keys are amazing.

Update:  Well I've placed an order to one unit to check the quality.  If these are good products then I may order a few as part of a group buy if anyone else is interested.

Wow, that's good news. I'm reallly curious about the build quality and I am certainly interested... I haven't purchased anything off Taobao yet aside from keycaps, but I know some members here occasionally do.
Now all we need is some RACE keycaps .. got some?

Your Race didn't come with keycaps?

Those plates are nice, thanks for the link!

So as soon as the test unit I ordered arrives I'll post pics and info.

In the mean time, more good news for Race owners, I've heard that TEX has mentioned doing a limited run of Aluminum cases for the Race as well!  The price mentioned was only $90!  So a good amount cheaper than importing.  I don't have any direct confirmation on this yet, but hoping to get more info soon.

I'll update with any extra info I get, but either way, we'll get some aluminum cases one way or another!  ;D

Hi slaction, any word on the RACE 2 case? I'm anxious to see your results so I can buy one too. Also if you are doing a group buy, count me in :)
