Massdrop preorder for KBT Pure Pro backlit edition
« on: Mon, 19 August 2013, 17:15:04 »
Massdrop is having a group buy pre order for the KBT pure pro backlit edition. Looks pretty sweet. Lowest buy is $89 + shipping (U.S. is $9.43). Only needs 15 buyers to get to that price.

Let's go! :)

Edit:  I guess it would be nice of me to add a link xD

Also, you can get brown, blue, red, or black switches with blue, green, or orange backlit (all your choice). You also get to choose between blank or printed grey PBT caps.

Yeah, it's interesting... I recently got a poker II so I'm also on the fence as well. It's interesting to see arrow keys integrated into a keyboard size this small, and I'm not sure if I would feel cramped or not. But then again... I do need some brown switches to try haha

Get out of my head, was also thinking about getting browns as well after getting the Poker II reds from Massdrop.

Definitely worried about being able to get keycaps for the spacebar size and right-shift.

It's a pure pro that is backlit. It's similar in size and shape as the poker II.

The biggest issue is the layout.

That said, this would be an awesome keyboard to put those orange polycarbonate keycaps on over orange led's.

shipping for me is $9.43, bringing the total to $98.43 at the lowest tier. As of now, only five more people need to commit.

so i've got a pure, and now a poker 2. i obviously don't need a pure pro. even though its got a different layout from both the original pure and the poker 2. and its got one of those wacky 1.0 shifts. i definitely don't need a third vortex board. especially with both a gh60 AND a GON 38GT on the way.

damnit.

Oh... you could always use another keyboard. We're on geekhack here where no one can have enough! :)

Is there a reason why so many people dislike orange LEDs? I'm bored with blue/green LEDs, every keyboard I've ever had came with them, and orange sounded cool, especially with the dark grey PBT caps. Do they not look in person as good as one would think?

Yeah, same sentiment.  I would like Clears with orange or pink LEDs but found this thread too late :(
