Incomplete Vortex PBT Backlit Key Set
« on: Fri, 19 September 2014, 12:24:26 »
I received my Vortex PBT backlit key cap set the other day and to my dismay, the set was incomplete (missing "u" and "o" keys) and had a defective cap (can't tell what the letter was supposed to be).



Close up of defective cap: Disregard



I've been a long time customer and have bought quite a number of products from mehcanicalkeyboards.com (3 Ducky keyboards, many Cherry MX clear switches, etc) and the oversight on this is disappointing :<

Vortex never fails to disappoint.  You should have seen the way they treated iMav back in the day.

I think that defective cap is the KBtalKing squirrel logo

Please be disappointed with Vortex, not MK.com.

Yup yup. Upon checking other sets, the squirrel missalaire posted is the same as at least 3 other sets.

Just sent one to your support email and thanks for the clarification on the Squirrel key.

A happy ending, and another good report for the responsiveness of MK :)
"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
