Zero information on how many was shipped, but at least 2 people got their hands on it.
http://kbtalking.cool3c.com/article/55891?page=8 the extra caps are pre-order bonus + ordered caps.
Anyhow. Finally shipped after over a year of pre-ordering. I've already said my piece on the delay. Executive summary: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Hopefully there won't be any more major roadblock.

hah!

...for all of those who were not able to get on the pre-order, are there any news for us?
to all those who have one on the way, congrats :D
-
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We should wait for all of the pre-order to be delivered first. There is a distinct lack of information right now. Your best bet is to ask Vortex. If you don't want to pester him, just wait. I am sure a lot of people do want these and iMav will probably setup a group buy eventually. If you really don't want to wait, pester some guy who pre-ordered. If that fails, wait for Taobao/qtan/whoever else.
-
There are still production problems. The number of boards shipped is in the teens (ones that were completed awhile ago). No firm shipping dates for rest of the pre-order. Make your own judgment on the situation.
-
This is longgggg wait.
I wonder what is the problem that they face into...
-
From what was said, it is mainly getting qued into production and the production of the aluminum case is moving at snail pace.
-
and what about the other product Race, Pure (standard edition).
-
You're better off asking Vortex. KBT don't have much to do with production of these things, or even selling it as evident by Vortex selling them.
-
i wish they would just sell us pure diy kits that are stuffed PCBs. we have a local manufacturer for cases...
-
I'd rather go full custom in that case (hardy har har ;)), like what DOX did. And we wouldn't be stuck with a function layer that may not like.
-
while i agree, the dox and light projects are stalled due to lack of pcb designers

The pics in that second link are very impressive!
We'll have some in later this month, and it looks like I might have to keep one for myself ;) So clean!

Ya they'e pretty nice box opening pictures. It seems only the early batch have the pink/purple LED, and the rest of them are orange LED (which I like a lot more). I don't really like the LED look. Figures that the LED picture is looked at more times than with PBTs on.
-
The only thing I dislike in the new orange pure vs the purple, is the backlighting of the Fn layer (such as the entire ctrl + **** + esc on right shift), still bought one though :p
-
What?
-
The old pure ( [ATTACH=CONFIG]50811[/ATTACH] )
The new pure (Start of thread)
What i said was i prefer the lack of backlit of the Fn abilities (see difference in about every single key, especially the shifts)
-
You assumed incorrectly. Both the purple and the orange has the exact same caps. That Vortex's picture is a prototype printed incorrectly
-
What are all the backlighting colours they are planning for the Pure, if any plans?

they were complaining about cap printing issues quite a bit on facebook

Falls on deaf ears. They are free to give us what we originally paid for. Don't change it and complain.
