Oh man, I've been reading so much from this thread didn't realize its already 3a.m.
I actually came here from GeekHack cause I wanted to see if anyone owns a KBT Race and where I can find one locally. Found out it's EOL from a few pages back sad.gif
I've actually visited this page a few times when I see it at the top of "Hardware" but didn't understand anything you guys were saying lol.
Anyway, I've done a lot of reading since and have considered so many different keyboards to buy only to change my mind every few hours of reading...
I'm afraid if I keep reading and stall buying one I would end up with a KMAC2. Something that has happened to me at "Audiophiles".
Initially, I wanted to get something with backlights but had since considered the better PBT keycaps. Also, I could not find a TKL with backlights that I can obtain locally.
I've narrowed down my choices and now I'm stuck between getting a brand new KBT Oni or kyrmian's Filco Camo. I need professional opinions on which of these I should opt for. Thanks in advance smile.gif

kyrmian I'll let you know today smile.gif

Human10 nah, I'm not a GHacker. I was just lurking there. Not very interested in getting from taobao.

Or more precisely,

Technology, the newer the better.
Craftsmanship and quality, mostly the vintage one did better.

I agree wholeheartedly!


lowyatguy go for the camo huh? The only reason I'm not rushing to get it is because of the color scheme. Also, the Oni's keycaps look quite good. However, Vortex has had a lot of unhappy customers over at GH so I'm also weary about that.

Vortex has a lot of unhappy customers due to the poor qc in first gen products. Ducky shine was as bad, so was rk9000.

You can read up on the vortex oni. Totally different perception altogether. Generally speaking all the newer gen vortex products are much better than before. If they were really bad we won't touch them. brows.gif

yeah. Plus, if it breaks, I can claim warranty from you right? smile.gif
I'm going to buy a full custom PC from you in a few weeks. Can I get a discount for the Oni? tongue.gif

Filco Camo is not bad at all if u really look for camo design this is the one and the only to get. About the color scheme, any dark color keycaps will match it flawlessly I guess.

Why not from Taobao? Worry about the sellers?

I'm not up to the hassle. Warranty issues is another thing.

QUOTE(Human10 @ Jul 8 2013, 02:03 PM)
I though you said you came from GH?

Reason for getting filco camo is that it is the best bang for bucks and featured keyboards filco ever offer.

You get braided cable, camo dyed case and media keys which non other filco get

oh what I was trying to say is that I was reading through the forums over at GH before reading the posts on this thread. I was looking for reviews and general mkb knowledge.

Found this review of the Oni. Just putting this here in case someone else is interested http://tech.hexun.com/2012-08-26/145144477.html
It's in chinese though.

We only sell at SRP, our dealers also. We don't want to undercut our dealers and don't want them to lose trust in us. You can get from us for convenience sake but you are recommended to support our dealers biggrin.gif

Might get the poker brown first. Then look for filco camo. Lol. No reseller in here for filco.

Perhaps I have develop a kb fetish. Had a typical gaming kb but never enjoy it like mech kb.

Viewnet LYP sells Filco Camo TKL in brown. At least, thats what their latest pricelist say. Don't take my word for it though
