UPDATE:  Looks like they added other color options.  Follow the same link.  :D

Saw THIS on the Vortex Facebook page earlier.

Looks like they fixed the complaints about giant Esc, F1, F2, F3.... row.  Now if they release this in red/blue/green then I think it will sell really well.

Personally I think if they release blue one it will be my dream keycap.  :D

Now the question is just when... with Vortex it's always hard to tell sometimes...

Who cares--normal font, double-shot thick PBT!  I almost went for their current DS PBT offerings--I would 100% go for the new ones.

Looks like they fixed the complaints about giant Est, F1, F2, F3.... row.  Now if they release this in red/blue/green then I think it will sell really well.

Now the question is just when... with Vortex it's always hard to tell sometimes...

If they release blue on white with white on blue modifiers - WIN!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The second photo on the linked page seems to fairly clearly show that.

Hey Vortex

Great work. But lots of people here have been asking when you're going to sell these lovely doubleshots, and you haven't answered that!  :(

We all want to know the essential details: when do you intend to sell, where can we buy, and how much?

I wonder if it's still  oem profile

YES!

It's OEM profile.

^ Would like to know this as well.

Although I still prefer the font on their grey thick PBT lasered set.

But I think this one is done with backlit double shot in mind (maybe in the future for Poker II).  So I can see why they centered everything also made it big.

Either way it's still an amazing set so hopefully they'll release it soon.  :)

Would be amazing if 7x spacebars and 1.5x + 1x modifiers were made available as well, even if blank, as many of us use 84/86-key layouts

I think the italics wasn't too bad but the inconsistency from the Esc, F1, F2... Etc made it worse.

But I can see where you're coming from since in general I also prefer thinner fonts too.

:P

You are right. Here at GH are individuals more inclined to the practical side and see keyboards as input devices, but there are others more in the perfectionist side of aesthetics. Both live perfectly in peace here.  :)

I see that they finally fixed their font

I swear I'm the only person who actually kind of liked the italics  :confused:

I liked the italics, they reminded me of the Filco yellow keycaps I have, and of olden Apple keyboards.

But the inconsistency of legend size and placement across the board was somewhat jarring.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
