Any news for KBT Pure?
« on: Mon, 02 April 2012, 12:49:10 »
Is it released? I really can't find any source to buy this pretty mini keyboard. Does anyone have any news?

Update: Thank you guys for all the info. As I searched a little bit, there are rumors saying that some limited edition of Race 75% will be available on Apr 10 and Pure is still under smoke. Hopefully, we may see this piece of gadget on Apr 30.
After all, rumors are still rumors...Let's wait and see.

Watch their facebük page.  I believe the link is in the Race thread.  I too am interested.  I guess we'll know when they deem us ready.  ;-P

Thank you, captain! Could you do me a favor and post their FB link here? I'm gonna tell them that I can't wait any more ;)

Definitely! But this piece of gadget really seems under smoke. No schedule, no pre-order, nothing...
How about Race 75%? What do you guys think about this one?

Does the Race have an extra screw in the middle of the PCB just like the Pure?

Lol, only if they could give us specific details on arrival and pricing...

Sure, either way people are going to wait.. but I ended up going with a Race (due to lack of information on the release of the Pure).

There's a thread on Deskthority about the Pures. Looks like they found a distributor there but recently some information was removed by the OP. Not sure what's going on.

There were prices listed at one point as well as what attarian's interpretation of "coming soon" meant based on his previous history.

i think he said hopefully 15 days or so, but that that was a pretty loose estimate, and that he didn't know when they'd show.

I just want my first mechanical keyboard, even though my computer doesn't post. lol


Supposably the factory has a goal of mass producing the Races to finish on the 10th of this month.  Looks like the April 5-15 estimate Vortex Keyboards gave was on point.

You should usually check the Group Buy and Vendor forums before asking common questions like this~
40% layout, anyone?

Thank you, Rumudiez! I really don't know where to start. I will follow these feeds. Your information is very helping!

I thought you had one coming/here.  You made a big post about o-rings on the KB you didn't have.  Do you still have one in the mail?

Yes, between G & H key.

It wasn't too big of a post, I just added two pictures ;]

I bought O-rings, captain is sending me a keycap puller from his extra K60, and I'm waiting on iMAVs shipping email.

Thanks a lot, that makes me feel more good about keeping my pre-order (and not selling it).
