Just got the KBT Race 75%

[highspeed]

oO Says NKRO in the manual and it got only 6KRO under USB. Reviewer at deskthority said it had nkro over ps2 too. This is pretty confusing..  well that would suck if it doesnt have nkro.. well well.

woo awesome!
Ofcourse, Filco's overall quality of the keyboard is top notched compared to other brands.
But I believe Race has some great values too.
If you were MX blue user, Red will feel quite boring and almost slacky at first. Red's merit is its linearness, cloud typing, and extremely lightness.
My fingers get tired when I do extreme typing with Blue after awhile, but with Red my fingers can go further.

But I do agree that Red could be boring compard to other switches..

i m wondering if i replace original keycaps by some engraved keycaps, the LEDS illuminate on littering good enough
same for blank keycaps (black ones)?

got mail from KBtalking guy i think:

"only USB interface , this keyboard without PS/2 interface


And I have explain what is N-Key meaning !!


For N-Key meaning is , this keyboard won't have any anti-Ghost key ,


But in USB interface , (according to USB protocol keyboard just can sent 6 KEY to System , but I can use another way to make full N-Key in the same time , but in USB N-key still have some little bugs , maybe in new motherboard BIOS , Unix system , Mac OSX system ......)


So , I have sorry tell you


KBT Pure only have USB interface , I think you can find in User Manual


Have fun , and good day"

tired and that didnt make me any smarter lol

this is the controller the race is using..

anyone can explain what its for

[highspeed]

Anyone noticed any lag or bug issues with the keyboard? Think i had one today..

[keyboardlover]

Problems with Leopolds? Sounds like mcgurk effect.

[highspeed]

Leopold!?!? i meant KBT RAce.. or they have same controller?!!?

Anyone noticed any lag or bug issues with the keyboard? Think i had one today..

No, I've been use it for a month now.

[highspeed]

dont like the arrow buttons at all.. you want your fingers to be in the middle of the key, but then you have to stretch your fingers, which is not comfortable at all....  dont know what they were thinking to be honest.. also have had more bug issues when i use 2 buttons fast, like switching between them fast..

just wanted to rage a bit since this keyboard were like twice the money to me noppoo

[Exort]

Well.....

There have been a bunch of reports:

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?25075-Leopold-Controller-Problems

Nope that is McGuip effect just like Filco wobble and ping.

I googled McGuip Effect and got this:

hi Obra

how do you buy from Taobao? These guys offer a lot of variety and good prices, but the hurdles seem enormous. (I can read Chinese, but I can't navigate my way around that website!)

My Race showed up today. (Taobao seller. Green backlight, brown switches)

The slick feel of the keycaps is definitely going to take some getting used to. I love the size, but having just gotten used to a Poker, it's taking a bit to get up to speed on.
