Searching for KBT/Vortex Pure Pro or similar (MX Brown)

[stratonpanther]

Anyone know where to buy (or willing to sell) either a KBT Pure Pro or Vortex Pure Pro MX Brown?

Unavailable on mechanicalkeyboards, Massdrop, Tiger Imports, even the Q* guy.

Examples:

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kbt-pure-pro

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=654

Background:

I normally use a Tex Beetle/Rosewill Micro RK-9000 BR (same thing) but they're discontinued. Tex Beetle just came back on Tiger Imports but I thought maybe I'd try to find something with backlit LEDS to match my new mouse

Other suggestions welcome, things that are important to me:

- 60% layout

- 4 modifiers left of shift (CTRL, FN, ALT, WIN)

- Arrow keys

Cheers!

When there is a will, there is a way.

it seems to me there is nothing extra-ordinary stopping you from building your own from a GH60, or DZ60 PCB if you want to also consider split spacebar. There are plenty of guides out there to help you get started.

I built a GH60 Satan 60% with split backspace and split right shift last year, with breathing LED. I used TMK firmware to write my own layout which is way better than any layout commercially available.

Why not give it a go and share us what you end up with?
