Anyone know where to buy (or willing to sell) either a KBT Pure Pro or Vortex Pure Pro MX Brown?
Unavailable on mechanicalkeyboards, Massdrop, Tiger Imports, even the Q* guy.
Examples:
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kbt-pure-pro
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=654
Background:
I normally use a Tex Beetle/Rosewill Micro RK-9000 BR (same thing) but they're discontinued. Tex Beetle just came back on Tiger Imports but I thought maybe I'd try to find something with backlit LEDS to match my new mouse ;)
Other suggestions welcome, things that are important to me:
- 60% layout
- 4 modifiers left of shift (CTRL, FN, ALT, WIN)
- Arrow keys
Cheers!

When there is a will, there is a way.
it seems to me there is nothing extra-ordinary stopping you from building your own from a GH60, or DZ60 PCB if you want to also consider split spacebar. There are plenty of guides out there to help you get started.
I built a GH60 Satan 60% with split backspace and split right shift last year, with breathing LED. I used TMK firmware to write my own layout which is way better than any layout commercially available.
Why not give it a go and share us what you end up with?
