I have a K-Type in hand right now and can already say that it definitely has surpassed all of my expectations from a year+ ago when this project was first announced.
I'll have a full review on KeyChatter soon, but I will say that it does everything it promised to do, and it does it with ease and style.
The real winner here, of course, are the guts. The PCB is magnificent and the Input Club configurator has always been one of the best/easiest in the business.
That all being said, I really do hope to see a future support of this keyboard in the way of additional cases. The low profile case currently dressing up the K-Type is fantastic for showing off the lighting capabilities and gives the keyboard a very sleek overall appearance. Still, I would very much like to see more case options in the future (thing angled KBD/ZZ style aluminum case with acrylic middle piece). And really, I'm only recommending this because I can easily see the HUGE potential of this keyboard and the staying power it has and fully expect it to be relevant and top of the line for years to come.

livingspeedbumpI'm really curious about the choice in switches. How do they compare to others? Also, do you know if we can order a k-type without caps? I already have a set of the shine-through tai haos and I'm not a fan.

SpectreiiIThere is no bare-bones kit sadly, they said somewhere that the switches available will be the normal Kailh switches and a "custom" Kailh switch. Not really sure what the custom switch will be but I am excited to hear about it!

PotatoTMI'm hoping for something that's more tactile and clicky, like a cherry version of a matias tactile click. Currently there isn't another switch on the market that comes anywhere close, and there aren't any decent alps mount caps for the matias switches, so I'm stuck without an end gamerican strategy, because my end game is currently impossible. But there is hope...
