keycool 84 black/grey
« on: Sun, 26 January 2014, 16:20:56 »
where on earth did all the keycool 84 boards go?  i can only find white ones in stock or dark ones with black switches.

are 84s black w/ blue switches and blue leds extinct?
ALL zombros wanted:  dead or undead or dead-dead.

I just noticed that today as well. I wonder if they are coming out with a newer model and are waiting for those.  :confused:

Seems those of us wanting 75% boards at all are at a loss. I was thinking about getting a Race the other day and the only site I could find with them (mechanicalkeyboards.com) went out of stock. I'm glad I hesitated though, since apparently the Race II is coming out soon. By soon I mean "early Jan 2014" (according to vortex's facebook) so take that for what you will.

True that keycool 84 does not have black version for some time. They only make white PBT ones.
But they still make black ones with backlits ...

But the KeyCool white is so very, very white :)

It matches very well with many keycap sets.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
