For those that received broken keycaps, were these the key caps that were not on the Poker and how were they packaged?

I'm only asking because I purchased a set of PBT's from iMav and I thought they were coming shipped in a box which generally should reduce the chance of broken keys.

demik · « **Reply #301 on:** Mon, 27 February 2012, 18:50:05 »

hopefully my package comes in tomorrow. set of poker engraved and 104 engraved

Intense · « **Reply #302 on:** Mon, 27 February 2012, 18:51:52 »

The keycaps came in a plastic bag inside the shipping box, they weren't originally on it

I cant feel any quality difference between the stock keycaps and the pbt that is supposed to be a lot better.

All I can say is I love the red switches, even though they are not supposed to be ideal for typing I type better on these than the browns and maybe even the blues. Also the poker bottoms out so nicely I almost dont even want/need to do the oring mod. Spacebar, backspace, etc the larger keys that annoy the hell out of me on my other keyboards are so tame on the poker.

Got my Mx-brown iMav, thanks a lot! Absolute joy to type on and was totally worth the wait

Tennobanzai · « **Reply #305 on:** Mon, 27 February 2012, 23:38:39 »

Got mine today! My spacebar seems fine. It doesn't fit flush but it's not bad. Both my black and white versions have this.

The PBT keycaps have a different texture, at least to me. As for switches, I really like linear switches for typing, both reds and blacks. I like the stiffer o-rings so that I still get some of the bottom out feel. I tried 40A o-rings and didn't like them on reds but the 50A I do. I have a set of 70A on the way to try next.

BTW, if anyone has a set of the black engraved Poker PBT's they're willing to part with I would like a set!

metafour · « **Reply #312 on:** Tue, 28 February 2012, 00:04:34 »

Sure, I'll just glue the caps to the desk and type on that instead. Maybe setup one of them "ergo" layouts too. That would work wonders!

got my poker pbts today. just waiting for my 104 which should come in tomorrow or thursday. thanks again iMav

Gawkbasher · « **Reply #318 on:** Wed, 29 February 2012, 08:29:24 »

I do have to say that I like my Poker with Blues better than the one I have with Reds.

Also, how are people finding their thin PBT kaps? My white spacebar (104 set - came in a box) is very badly warped and my blacks (Poker set) didn't come with one so looks like I'm using the stock abs spacebar.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42167[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42168[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42169[/ATTACH] I dub this: the crappiest spacebar that ever crapped (though at least it wasn't broken). No big though, I guess. I have a thick PBT set from a different group buy and I think I'll only be ordering those types or doubleshots in the future.

iMav · « **Reply #319 on:** Wed, 29 February 2012, 17:52:15 »

Please post discrepancies in this thread so I can follow up with Vortex and get replacements.

Thanks!

Kisakuku · « **Reply #320 on:** Wed, 29 February 2012, 18:32:42 »

I have the same warped white space bar issue on the white engraved PBT Poker set.

Also, looking for a new black engraved PBT Poker set (with Poker-specific side engraving).

It took half a year for this group buy to complete? I hope it wouldn't take that long for the Race GB...

Thanks iMavm just got my set of engraved Poker keycaps today. Just a small question, they don't have any of the side labels filled in with white ink anymore? And my Caps Lock key doesn't have a transparent window for the LED to shine through.

demik · « **Reply #329 on:** Mon, 05 March 2012, 21:29:05 »

none of them do, and i dont remember ever seeing an engraved with infilled side legends

Brendan · « **Reply #330 on:** Mon, 05 March 2012, 21:31:33 »

I dug through the entire thread, guessed I missed the part where you said you'd be ordering them without the window, my bad!

Brendan

demik · « **Reply #331 on:** Mon, 05 March 2012, 21:41:05 »

those were review samples if im not mistaken.

hence why they have a blue PCB compared to the red PCB we got.

i think it looks better without the window
