Hello everyone. This is my first post here and I found this website through reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards and I'm pretty sure if I can't get help here then I won't find it anywhere.  :'(

I'm in need of a black KBT Race w/ Brown mx switches and blue LED light but I can't find them in stock and for sale anywhere for a reasonable price! I was quoted for about $140+ at Rabbit Web Factory but I want to see if I can get a better price elsewhere (broke college student). Direct links would be awesome and if any of you are sellers that would be great too. If you can't help with any of this, feel free to stop by and leave a post about your experiences with the KBT Race and how they fare against other keyboards!

Some info:
I live in the US with area code 30043

This is available at ebay now, but it does not meet your switch requirements. It is also in the same price range, and it seems difficult to get it for much less than that.

You should purchase from Rabbitwebfactory, as if you have any problems with the board you can send it to them and they will try to fix it. But if you don't purchase from them you won't have the luxury of doing that. I've purchased both of my KBT Races from resellers and both have had issues that aren't covered by the reseller, but if I ordered from RWF these issues would have probably been resolved long ago.

Ok, sadly I just decided to switch to the KBT Pure because the red board showing in the back of the keys in the KBT Race is something that will probably annoy me. Any leads on where to find a pure with the same specifications (brown switches, blue LED)

Oooo if you could just answer one question for me, I will def buy one of those. Do they make PBT caps for the Pure? I know the Pure uses ABS but if i know I can get PBT I wouldn't mind as much

I don't think light will shine through them and that will still probably look really good imo, but here you go :)
