Title: {SOLD} WTS RACE (browns) $90+shipping
Post by: sth on Mon, 03 September 2012, 15:43:22
I have a black RACE with white backlighting and MX browns. No LED issues to speak of, used for maybe 10hrs tops. Like new in box with cable and extra keycaps.

 i forgot to mention - i removed some of the rubber on the mini-connector end because I needed to use the cable with my leopold. it's on the underside, not visible during use, but if you really want I can try to get a non-modified USB cable.

$90+shipping takes the board, we can work something out down the road if I ever receive the white keycaps from the group buy. I would prefer to keep this CONUS but need to sell so I may consider intl if it comes to it.

trying not to deal with that but may consider it in the future. i would rather not continue to hoard massproduced boards, and instead just have one or two.

I understand. You can only type so many at once.  I have two boards at present, and plan on getting one more if the Cherry russian dyesub GB ever gets going.  Good luck in your search.

HEY, HEY, hey, what is this.  The Neo Zelia 87 being terrible?

I have it on another desk, and it's absolutely fine.  No problems with it at all. I bought an all BlueMX version and it's been a dream to type with.

Hence where did all this ultra-hate towards this keyboard come from?

I bought the non-backlit version and while it isn't an all metal plate edition it's just switches mounted to a PCB the setup is easy and nice.  Plus the wireless aspect is brilliant for a keyboard in this price bracket.

So it doesn't weigh 6KG's and needs a Gorilla to operate the keys, it is still a very decent TKL that is unique with it's appearance and function, that I am proud to own.  Thanks goes to Miss Lin for getting this baby for me.

Im quite interested and assuming I can sell a few of my things, I very well migt take it off your hands if its still available. However I do have a question, what is that huge wooden cased-looking keyboard with yellow keycaps in the back? I love the built in hand rest of sorts!

Got this today. Like it a lot, but after a bit of side-by-side testing, I think I'm going to end up going with the Noppoo Choc Mini instead. So if anybody was interested in this, PM me since I'm going to be looking to resell it. Thanks, sth, for getting it to me so quick to try out.

is the race the one with multiple led color options?
Title: Re: {SOLD} WTS RACE (browns) $90+shipping
Post by: tekmanrj on Mon, 15 October 2012, 17:59:57
This one has black keycaps with white LED illumination (versus green LEDs in other models). The RACE LEDs can be off, wasd/esc/arrows, all on, pulse. LED brightness is adjustable.

hmm, tempting. I might get this if this is still around after I get my poker, then Choc mini.
