Good luck for getting Poker.

I am tired with dueling with them, just no respond message on time, lol.

True, they always delay.

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.

He knows he can't turn his back on you.

Still no images of the pink LE?

I hope the kbt race is as white as its fleece!

Halverson · « **Reply #61 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 15:01:10 »

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.
I noticed that after the rollback my order disappeared off the list, hopefully you can add it back on.

You are BAAAAAAAD!!! Must be a Kiwi thing.

We know there are gay sheep, we see it all the time. But the question is, are there lesbian sheep? A female announces that she is ready for sex by standing perfectly still... so, are those two female sheep out there standing still next to each other just having a rest?... or.... :-o

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.

Do you foresee any issues with acquiring the Pokers? Are the switches easily modified since there are few LEDs?

I'm a little scared of these GBs after seeing all of the problems with iMav's and this: http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/vortex-race-75-european-distribution-t1659.html
Am I just being paranoid?

captain · « **Reply #65 on:** Sat, 12 May 2012, 18:24:19 »

Yeah, that thing with paypal and sixty is utter bull****! But iMav didn't have that problem, as he followed paypal TOS, and billed the Races as merchandise instead of gifts. I'm uncertain why I cannot find the thread here, nor have I received any PMs about the order though. I think it was mid-April when iMav last said that the container was about to ship from China, and he had worked out how to get them through customs to avoid another Poker fiasco there. 2mos seems a long time to go without any updates--but iMav has been working his ass off just keeping geekhack alive, so maybe he hasn't had energy to spend on the GB. I would like to know though.

No you have until the 25th of this month to submit your payment and input your order on the google form silly!
Yes this is going on until the 25th which is when the TS will stop accepting orders and tell the manufacturer the total amount of things ordered

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.

Updated the pictures. Thanks for Cindori. And you're back to the order list now.

Woot, back on the list. Thanks for getting it all back together Feng!
Time to stare at dem pictures.

smknjoe · « **Reply #70 on:** Mon, 14 May 2012, 22:56:52 »

I saw where you said the keycaps are ABS. How are they printed on the Poker and the Race?

WyldKard · « **Reply #71 on:** Tue, 15 May 2012, 14:24:39 »

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?

Narc · « **Reply #72 on:** Thu, 17 May 2012, 18:12:41 »

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.

lys.nordique · « **Reply #73 on:** Thu, 17 May 2012, 21:57:20 »

I can't send to you the money! Paypal said:" This recipient is currently unable to receive money."

They are laser-etched.

I assume you're talking about the PBT version which used to have black engraved kepcaps and dark gold on black keycaps. But they're not in production anymore.

That payment steps are correct. And regarding the Race LE, I wish we could get it in the beginning of June. But who knows if I'll be informed another delay as they usually did?

Quote from: scatology;595067

It's because they haven't confirmed my tax reporting information yet, so they limited my account. I just contacted Paypal today, they said it will take about 24-48 hours to verify my information and remove the limitation.

I'll let you guys know when my account can receive payment. Sorry about the inconvenience guys.

captain · « **Reply #75 on:** Sat, 19 May 2012, 23:07:57 »

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?

Enki · « **Reply #78 on:** Tue, 22 May 2012, 09:12:56 »

I've been holding off on joining the buy due to the paypal issues that others reported. Feng, do you have any update? It's been almost 5 days since you've posted here.

feng · « **Reply #79 on:** Tue, 22 May 2012, 09:19:27 »

My paypal is still limited.

They told me it should takes about 24-48 hours, but... I'll give them a call again today. I'm so sorry for your inconveniences guys.

thehybrid · « **Reply #80 on:** Tue, 22 May 2012, 14:25:13 »

first post, just sent paypal for kbt race le pink with red switches

edit: looking to buy some keycaps too. should i be weary about those arrow keys?

feng · « **Reply #81 on:** Tue, 22 May 2012, 17:48:35 »

Eventually, Paypal has confirmed my info and removed the limitation from my account.

Gimmix · « **Reply #82 on:** Tue, 22 May 2012, 23:36:02 »

Yup, Fengs Paypal is cleared. Just sent my payment!

Narc · « **Reply #83 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 08:31:25 »

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.

danielucf · « **Reply #84 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 16:32:34 »

Is the deadline still 5/25? Also any news on if the Race LE Pink will actually have Pink LEDs in it?

I'll actually extend the deadline a bit, but I'll mostly ship out the Poker orders first. The Pink Race will still come with pink LEDs. Not exactly the same color as the pink keycaps, a little bit like between red and pink.

Oh man can't wait for my first mechanical keyboard. I got the Race LE with blue switches and this was just what I was looking for. Now to wait in agony ):

irjoe · « **Reply #99 on:** Mon, 28 May 2012, 15:33:18 »

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.
