Having the RE 68 and it's great. My only complaint is the keycap legends. This time the font in the renders is closer to what we actually get on the RE's but still not exactly the same. Besides,
  • Why is Ctrl, Alt, and Alt Gr in the beige render using a different font?
  • Is there any plan to use "Esc" instead of "ESC"?

Thank you for finding out and telling us the mistake! love that you actually pay attention to the details of our renders!
By the way,  ESC should be "Esc" when you see the actual PC66

We will be updating the right version of PC66 Beige render later!

I've only just received my Vortex KBT RE: 68 and love the aesthetic and quality of the board.

It's a little disappointing to see that Vortex has already updated it and included more silicone dampening pads inside the case at the top and bottom. In addition to this, the change in plate material.

In my opinion, these silicone dampening pads should really have been included with the KBT RE: 66/68.

I'd love to see these sent out or made available somehow.

I'm also interested in the Vortex Model M SSK Kit, but am a lot more cautious now.

Is there a name for the layout here where the modifier keys to the right of the Space Bar are 1u rather than 1.5u?  I’m a little bummed that none of the spare 65% sets I have would fit this correctly.  I looked on Vortex’s website and the keycap sets they sell themselves seem to have a standard bottom row.

On PC66 66key, the key on the right side of the space Bar is actually 1.25 u not 1.5 u.
the keycap set will fit both PC66 66key and 68key.
I will attach a photo of vortex's keycap set for better understanding.
Hope this will help you!
