preferably in brand new condition!

I just have to inform you, that the white LE Race case paint is of very poor quality. If you get one, you may need to repaint it in the future as the paint comes too easy.

Is the quality really that bad? or can I just avoid it if I'm careful with the keyboard?

The painting quality is pretty bad. It's hard to avoid this happening.

Damn, I really like the white race's look :/

Do you know if someone would be able to buy the original keycaps for the LEs anywhere?

People from iMav's group buy are still waiting for the white keycaps from that order. We got the keyboards a few months ago and still haven't heard anything about the white keycaps at all even though they are already paid for.

I don't understand why they didn't just use white plastic. did they just spray the normal keyboard with white paint and call it a "limited edition"?

Yeah the paint quality is beyond poor...You put a piece of tape on it and peel it off, paint will come off with it.  I'll eventually plasti-dip mine.  One thing I like about the White Race is its white PCB.

Hahah, it seems like I find you where ever I ask this question. I think I replied in another thread but I'll say it here as well. I emailed rabbit factory but it seems that they don't just sell the keycaps alone, you would have to buy the board.
