That is a shame, I do hope they mean early May.

I doubt it. Then hey would have said "in two weeks". May probably means last week of may or first week of june....

I would love a white KBT Race special edition, how do I get this?!!?!?

I linked fengs group buy on bit-tech.
Apparently he'll be shipping last week of May.

I see you list ducky year of the dragon... any words on release date?

And when can we expect the kbt pures? : D

Anyone who ordered a Race from Attarian got it or got any response from him?

In the last two weeks I've had no news from Attarian. I gave money to sixty and attarian but no keyboards for me...

I have received my KBT Race months ago from attarian (I think it was beginning of February). I think it was one from the first batch.

On the french thread (http://deskthority.net/achats-groupes-f25/kbt-race-kbt-pure-t2249.html), you can find the following information that was posted on 16 Apr 2012:

attarian wrote:Race Limited: 20th
Pure (tous en meme temps): 27-28
Race blue backlight: May 5-12th
Race green-white : 5th-20th

Sounds like estimation dates for production. Knowing that the Pure has had some additional delay, I would guess everything will be coming in its own time but everyone needs to be patient tough...

Please note that "additional delay" for the Pure is my extrapolation from this "conversation" on Vortex's facebook account :

Still taking orders on this one? I got a loan of one of these through Webwit/Sixty, but thinking of buying one in a different configuration...

I want to buy a KBT Race with blue leds and MX Brown Switches.
How can i order it?

im interested in the KBT Pure MX Blues. When will you have available? us layout?

regards,

Just saw the Race keyboard and its also a ten-keyless like pure, so what's the biggest difference between them?
Also how does Red Mx swtichs compare to the blue and brown ones???

regards,

They are a completely different layout and size.
Or slightly different
Race is bigger than Pure, has dedicated F keys and Arrow keys and some more.

still no iso layouts for these right?

wrong.

I am typing on a Race everyday at work. I can thus confirm the layout is available.
Whereas for the Pure, you can even get the user manual (including layout) on Vortex facebook page.
If you are too lazy too look around by yourself, here is a trail: http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/kbtalking-pure-new-mini-keyboard-with-smarter-layout-t1126-30.html?hilit=pure#p26278

not following, where's the <> key?

I don't see an ISO layout on that page you linked, all I see are other members asking about it there as well.

ISO layout looks like this:



You have a Race or Pure in this layout or have seen mention of it somewhere?

He's got a Race 1st Batch.

For the one who already paid, you should get it shortly, for the others, i would surely list pure and race in 3 led colors current june.

attarian wrote:He's got a Race 1st Batch.

But does it have an ISO layout like the image above?

no no no, just ANSI layout.

what about non printed version?

a keyboard with backlight and non printed keycaps ? that makes no sense.

It would be about 5USD less expensive for that reason. There is not any non printed version.

Just be a little bit patient, and there will be a lot of very ncie keyboard in europe, with 48hours delivery . And will come things that a lot of people are waiting for.

Also the mx red blue-backlight race? You would make me really happy

How much would a MX Blue Pure with purple backlight be shipped to UK?

Really sorry for the delay for the one who already paid for a long time.

To sum up things:

KBT Pure in orange light available within 10 days
KBT Race with Green / White light available within 10 days.
KBT Race Limited edition in white : available within 15-18 days.

KBT Pure in Green - Blue - No light available within 1 month or so

KBT 80 -100% within 2 months, and also more surpriises to come.


And on another subject: Rainbow caps in ANSI avaiable within 20 days, ISO is also possible.
Noppoo Restocked within 3 weeks
Keycool Restocked within 2 weeks
HFE 87 listed within 2 weeks

And whats about the Race blue backlight? You didn't mention them? I would take the race with white backlight (and mx red) when blue backlight is "undeliverable"

As i told you in PM, the blue backlight is not announced yet, and if i remember it right you already told me that you wished to change.

Okay thank you, then it's okay!
