deskthority

Guys,

I've been in contact with my friend who works with KBtalKing Pro in Taiwan and they have informed me that they are open to run a special group buy deal with deskthority!









Here are the Details:

Group buy price: $149 USD (approx $113 EUR). Compare to current prices of $169 USD (approx $128 EUR). Factory will not ship individually, so all orders will ship out from US distributor based in Las Vegas, NV, USA.

Shipping charges: $9.95 USD flat rate for USA 50 states. Other countries please check quote at: ircalc.usps.com (select your country, large package, 4lbs, 22"x10"x4", Priority mail)

Target quantity: We just need to meet a basic 20 pcs minimum in order to qualify for this special deal.
ETA: 1-2 weeks after we close the group buy
Layout: ANSI (US 108)
Available Cherry MX switches: Red, Blue (ltd), Brown (ltd)
Available Keycap types: White on Black (std), and laser engraved Black on Black (ltd). Both have UV coating for stain and wear resistance.

For those of you who aren't familiar yet, the KBT Pro is the only true multi-platform (PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and any Bluetooth HID devices), all-in-one mechanical keyboard that can be both 100% wireless (Bluetooth) or wired (USB). Furthermore, it can pair up to 10 Bluetooth devices, allowing you to switch between any paired devices and the USB computer instantly. It's basically the desktop all-in-one multi-tasking keyboard. Build quality and typing feel is also very solid--many people have compared it with the Filcos and Das etc.

Here are a few useful links for more info:

Hopefully we have enough interest from people who can appreciate this keyboard and the special deal to meet that 20 pc minimum!

I don't want to dampen enthusiasm here, but I'd like to make a couple of suggestions.
Quote prices in EUR not USD.
Clarify if the board is ANSI as per pic or not. Plate or PCB mounted?
Provide shipping costs.

For me the bluetooth and android options are interesting, but not with any of those switch types, ANSI, or a fullsize layout which is too bulky to move around and use with android

Thanks for the suggestions! No enthusiasm dampened here at all. I've added the information you requested to include EUR and USD since both are commonly used. And yes, this keyboard has standard ANSI layout, with switches mounted on metal plate, with dual layer PCB underneath for strongest solder points, durability and solid feel. Full details is in the official website http://kbtalkingusa.com.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

Any info on iso versio? The PCB seems to support it.

Due to the limited production numbers, they are only able to mass produce the ANSI English model, but it is fully ISO compatible when the proper ISO keyboard (ie UK English) is chosen in Windows. With a couple of key relocations and workarounds which most ISO users using ANSI keyboards probably already know about. Hopefully this thing will be popular enough in the future where we can justify having multiple key layouts.

can't this be on geekhack as well??

Yes, we are in the process of talking to an admin over there who can help us start it up. Do you have any recommendations of a good one from experience who can do it well?
