Wow, I stand corrected. That's awesome, thanks

As far as I know, they mainly come in black, but I do believe I saw some with clears on eBay once (there was a "GB" a while back) no browns, though. I guess Deck doesn't do browns. Check TG3's 'site (they own the "deck" brand) where they have the red-backlit BL82

That said, I think I'd prefer a noppoo or race for the switches. I'm not a huge fan of black. Although it should be pretty easy to rearrange the TG3's keycaps to Dvorak, since they are apparently the same profile.

You should check on this site,http://cgi.ebay.fr/Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-Noppoo-Choc-Mini-84-Red-Backlight-Backlit-Mx-Brown-/250988892717?pt=FR_JG_Informatique_Peripheriques_Claviers&hash=item3a701a922d#ht_2984wt_1396

It's a new product (less than 1 month). Only 500 keyboard produced ( mx-black / mx- blue / mx-brown) , there will soon be the mx-red.

Anybody got the keyboard? it's almost the end of the month, still no shipping news.

if i am not wrong the orders aren't placed yet.. its been so long!

Well, iMav said he was leaving it open for one more week on the 20th. So that would have been yesterday. It seems unlikely he would be shipping anything yet if he has only just (or hasn't even) ordered them from the manufacturer.

Is this going to be open through the weekend? I want one really bad but I gotta wait for payday.

I have to get the keyboards myself before they can be shipped. Note, these group buys are LONG...

snarlingchicken · « **Reply #359 on:** Wed, 29 February 2012, 03:41:55 »

Any ballpark ETA on the keyboards? If it's more than 3 months I may have to change the shipping address for my order. Lol.

Put the details in the PP. I just needed to know what you want to order so I can include it.

I need an advent calendar specifically for this thread/GB. I check back like twice a day too see if there are any updates on an ETA for delivery T_T

I am a PINK fan too! Add one:

MX Blues
Pink LEDs
Black *and* White keycaps

to my order please. :-D Isn't it about time for iMav's weekly appearance on this thread? Or is he too busy thrashing away, trying to keep the taobao crackers out of our fora?

dont jump the gun on the limited edition one. Will likely have specific limited distribution with a much higher price. This gb is for the regular race.

Justin2 · « **Reply #377 on:** Sat, 10 March 2012, 10:03:32 »

Did anyone receive confirmation after emailing imav to change their order?

Lord de Seis · « **Reply #378 on:** Sat, 10 March 2012, 11:44:33 »

my first group buy :3

ViciousXUSMC · « **Reply #379 on:** Sat, 10 March 2012, 17:25:24 »

Rawr life was easy when it was green only, now what do I do when there is white, blue, green, and pink to choose from.

I can rule out white, I have white on my G73 laptop and its effective but just so plain.

Blue is a very strong contender though, and pink is well kinda in the running too just because its so unique.

This group buy just ended, so it's probably unlikely that there will be another group buy for this anytime soon.
Qtan or eBay will be your best bet.

Stratagem · « **Reply #384 on:** Sun, 11 March 2012, 13:57:54 »

I'm glad it ended! My wife keeps telling me I was scammed, I can't wait to get the keyboard and prove her wrong. lol

ddrhazy · « **Reply #385 on:** Sun, 11 March 2012, 14:39:37 »

Looking for either a Race w/ white LED and brown switches or a Pure w/ purple LED and browns. Is there a group buy that'll accommodate me in the near future?

For the Race: No. Try Qtan or eBay.
For the Pure: Yes, there should be a group buy soonish, keep your eyes open in the forum here.

captain · « **Reply #387 on:** Mon, 12 March 2012, 01:19:42 »

Well, I paid for my Race back in December... I hope it'll get here soon. Green is good for a Race.

There is some facebook thing by Vortex someone who claims to be the manufacturer of these keyboards. They make it sound like they are still engineering the things. I haven't a clue. I sure would like a Pure, with Pink LEDs, and Blue switches. :-)

attarian · « **Reply #388 on:** Mon, 12 March 2012, 08:43:42 »

My post about the limited edition was just in answer to 3 of you who wanted to know what would they be. So i though it would be better to answer directly on that topic.

megnin · « **Reply #389 on:** Mon, 12 March 2012, 18:00:21 »

Just saw this on Vortex's Facebook page:

[h=6]Cokie Trontupisto:
Any word on RACE US shipments? I think iMav is a pretty busy guy so I don't want to bug him about it, just wondering what the status is.

Vortex Keyboard:
Dear Cokie , I think US RACE will be ready for shipping in April 12 ~ 15 (but If you want another LED type , ex : White , Super Blue )

I really don't know, and I don't think anyone else does. There hasn't been any updates or word in some time as to the progress of this GB.

unfortunately, i dont think this GB has ended yet. the first post still states "accepting orders" and there isnt any confirmation by iMav that this has ended.

iMav · « **Reply #395 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 06:12:53 »

The group buy has ended. The order process has begun. As always, I do order some extras...so if anyone is interested in a RACE still, PM me and I may be able to accomidate your order.

I send out a generic email confirming to all that requested LED color changes. If you did NOT get an email this morning confirming an LED color change being applied to your order, then you are getting green. EMAIL if you have any concerns... me [at] imav [dot] org (in the subject, put "RACE keyboard order - " followed by your subject)

...unless of course the order was placed AFTER the other colors were announced, in which case there was no color CHANGE to get something else than green, right?

Ahh ok. I got the color change email this morning and was confused because I never changed colors. I placed my order with the new colors, after the new colors were available. My order should be fine right?

iMav · « **Reply #398 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 11:14:19 »

I should have clarified. All non-green LED orders got they email.. Not just folks who changed their order FROM green.

Sorry for the confusion.

wilsongunawan · « **Reply #399 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 11:57:34 »

just want to clarify. what are the available led color for race
