Yes. There are reviews of the prototype version already. Expect them to be available by the end of this month. Here is a review I've seen, if you can read Chinese :cool:

Thanks for that link yicaoyimu...
I want one of these too. MX browns with PBT caps please.
Google translation of first paragraph makes my brain hurt.
Of those first, qualitative plus quantitative = evolution!
- KBT RACE 2 gives you a different feeling
Preface:
About KBT RACE had much to say, but we all know that a lot of thought over and over again is not necessary to say. That much also cause resentment. KBT and IKBC origins long time. When UW producer RACE come out when a lot of players are to join in, of course RACE itself is indeed a high-quality mechanical keyboard. I was also writing articles experiences, and later staged a hammer brother RACE special metal shell, visible RACE I really like this keyboard. RACE number of seemingly small, often see a lot of friends in the secondary area seeking the altar, I thought there must be so good an updated version of the keyboard, or else the meat fruit early on God shouted slogans 2 generations. RACE results of a large number of fans are waiting, but whether it is good or KBT worth mentioning IKBC always bouncing habit. Helpless. A lot of speculation about RACE2, but have not been confirmed. I got the kind considered ahead of the faithful on the altar and talk.
"meat fruit early on God shouted slogans"?!? :p
Also, notice that the F11-F12 has been replaced with Fn & Toggle. Theres also a Pn key (whatever that is)

lol I can translate the first paragraph for you if you want.
EDIT: here you go.
Quantity + quality = revolution
Preface:
There's a lot to say about KBT Race, but it's not necessary to say what is already known by most of us. There is a lot of connection between KBT and iKBC. Race became popular shortly after it was released. Of course Race itself is a very good quality mechanical keyboard. I worte a review at that time, and got a Hammer Race metal case later. And I promise you I truly like this keyboard. There are not so many KBT Race on the market and I have seen a lot of members looking for it. I believed there would be a new version of such a great keyboard, and it is no surprise when Brother Meat(designer of Poker) talked about the second generation of Race. A lot of Race fans has been looking forward to it, but it is not uncommon for iKBC and KBT to release product later than they said they would. There are a lot of rumor about Race 2. None of them are confirmed. But I am so lucky to get a prototype version so I can get a chance to talk about it with you.
--------------------------------------------------
A little foot note:
I've always been confused by Vortex, KBT and iKBC. Seems like KBT and iKBC are essentially the same company in China/Taiwan and Vortex is the vendor for KBT and iKBC in oversea markets. Brother Meat is the head of iKBC, that's for sure.

Thanks for the translation :thumb:
I wonder if there'll be a pre-order list somewhere? Maybe email notification?
The Race layout is almost perfect for me.

Ohhh man! Awesome keyboard.
I love this ESC key.
The only thing that I would change is the space bar - I would love to have some 2x keys instead of one huge space bar ...

By the PCB pictures on your links I think it would be possible, not sure what I could do with the firmware (I don't know wich uC it uses) ...
hmmmmmmm
