thanks man for going through the trouble googling it
and thanks for the heads up regarding the wear and tear issue. what is wrong with the backlighted black race?
The special edition cases are painted, possibly with spray paint, based on the durability. It literally scratches off with a light fingernail scratch. The keycaps are better on the backlit, however they too are very poor coating. By 6 weeks, I had wear and chipping making several keys unreadable. Now, granted I'm hard on keyboards, but I have never in all my years of doing this have I seen anything even close to that kind of wear.
I also have some of their PBT keycaps, and you can scrap off the lettering with your fingernail quite easily as well.
Don't get me wrong, I like the keyboard shape and the looks, especially the white circuit board, I think the White L.E. is extremely pretty, it's why I bought it, but the durability is an extreme let down. I have a custom set of WASD keys I use on it now, and if I don't put an aluminum case on it, I will either make my own or repaint it the right way.
Oh, and there is one rather annoying thing on that keyboard and that is the backspace and FN key. Because the F keys are up against the num keys, unlike other boards, your fingers will not be trained to accurately hit the backspace (especially since it's a large, easy to hit key). When you reach just a little too far, I tend to hit the backspace and catch the FN key with my finger, it's worse with longer fingernails (not talons, just what would be long for a guy). When you hit the FN and backspace, it launches the calculator. While it sounds trivial, it interrupts your typing until you use the mouse to return the focus back on your work. By the 5th time in a short paper, it gets annoying as heck. I ended up using an old arrow key in order to make it lower profile which stopped a lot of it from happening.
One last thing, if you have a KVM, it lacks a Numlock... which some KVM's use for switching between systems.
If you want to do any modification such as lubing, sticker, plate (if they make one) etc you gotta desolder all the LEDs which is a royal pain in the butt. I think that is why he said no LEDs
That's not entirely true.
If you take a razor and slide down alongside the LED posts, you can remove just enough of the top that you can bend the LED out of the way and remove the tops. Some people disapprove of this, but I can assure you, it does nothing to compromise the switch other then the slight increased chance of dust getting inside. This was how I lubed my Race and converted it to Jailhouse Blues. Note that it only works on plate-less and Phantom style plates, though because you do still have to remove the top.
