Can't wait to get this keyboard, I play an MMORPG with over 40 keybinds....and not all of them register on this fifteen-year-old DELL QuietKey.

UPDATE:

Shipments are going out every day. NOT EVERYONE HAS BEEN SENT THEIR SHIPPING INVOICE YET!

I am handling the "low hanging fruit" first...which are the domestic shipments.  Once I get through all of them, the international orders and other domestic shipments I have questions about will be addressed.

Hang in there!  I expect that you will see pictures of folks' RACE keyboards shortly here on GH.

40 might be a lot, but I can make room for more :( That's the sad part!!

I play AION, it's a very grindy MMORPG, but the eye-candy isn't so bad with the crysis engine (that kind've sucks btw).

I think yours must have been delivered at almost exactly the same time as mine. :) Go team Brown/White!!!

It's weird going to this one from my Poker w/ ergo clears...need that switch order from demik now. ;) But I am loving having a dedicated Esc, tilde, and arrow keys again.

That's one thing I'm scared of, getting accustomed to the layout!

Isn't the backspace in the same location where the Pure is (incoming, do the research yourself post from someone)?

Just got home, and my keyboard arrived in the mail, out of the box, the metal race sticker was misaligned by 400%, and the center of the case where the sticker would be looks like it is cracked, and since the sticker was pretty much stuck in its position, I bent it trying to realign it =/.

They probably used up their stock of pre-ordered white keys to put on the RACE LE which was announced AFTER the RACE but released BEFORE they even shipped our keyboards to iMav :( Vortex is sketchy.

note, this is entirely conjecture. in fact, it's probably not true but it's more fun to **** on vortex.

It looks really good with the LEDs at the lowest brightness - the keys look like slightly-luminescent doubleshots. Can't wait to get my white caps!

Forty keybinds is no joke, and they obviously don't all register on this RDORM.
