Name it. We'll do our best to get it. (v2.0)

Saw that you guys had the poker 2 incoming from nov 1-nov 30, but those listings disappeared today. Did you guys ever receive them or was it cancelled?

Well, actually there are some issues with this next release of the Poker Series, so Vortex is ironing out the changes. That is all we can say about it at this point.

[AKmalamute]

Just wanted to pipe up and say thanks for the great service -- ordered an odd number of switches, and am in process of soldering those on this week. Also my ergodox keyboard is live thanks to you guys carrying the boards.

[CommonCurt]

Do you guys think you could contact KBParadise and ask for V60MTS keyboard kits for soldering minus the switches?  (People can order Matias switches from you or use Vintage ones)

I will email them.

Did you ever try emailing KBParadise about V60 MTS kits minus switches, and if so what did they say?

[dante]

You guys going to carry Ducky Shine 4 hoodies?

[JoshMK]

Jeez... where do you guys get your info?!  )
We just got an email about them from Ducky about 2 hours ago. We're looking to order some.

10/10 would buy.

I guess I'll ask here, but any chance you get the two-tone Vortex PBT keycaps back in stock?

It looks like the green, pink, and orange are in stock, but the blue and red have been OOS for a while.

Any idea if you will get any of the blue and red sets? TY

[file_id]

+1 for hoodie. Also, I noticed a mechanicalkeyboards.com double shot keycap in my KBP v60 MTS Click. Will we be seeing replacement keycaps soon that aren't abs from matias, possibly double shot or pbt?

I've ordered two sets of switches like a day apart. I was wondering if there was any chance they could be merged together to reduce my shipping charges?

If they were ordered days apart, there's a high probability they were already shipped... separately. However, I can't be certain without knowing your name, order number, etc. Feel free to PM or email me.

out of curiosity the incoming page lists "KUL ES-87 Smoke"  What is this?  And what happened to KUL?  Weren't they supposed to release multicolored replacement top cases this summer?

Good question on both fronts. I will have to have a sit down with JoshMK tomorrow regarding this one...

It's a keyboard that's expected to arrive next week. You can pre-order if you'd like. 

Waiting to hear back about the colored top cases.

You tease.
Is there anything that differentiates it from a standard KUL-ES 87?  Or have they just applied some new moniker to their keyboards?

Edit: Now that I've seen the larger picture, looks like new case+caps color, is it exclusive to blues and browns at the moment?

Correct, just different colors.

As of right now, all I know for sure is gray keycaps. The pictures kind of make the case appear to be dark gray, but it could be black. I won't know for sure until they arrive (12/23 as of now). Only blue/brown ATM with others probably to follow.

That's probably a good thing for those who want a decent solid keyboard and not just a party favor.

On a side note anyone heard anything about a possible KUL numberpad?

I actually like that board. It wouldn't be my next buy, but it's pretty slick with the LED "halo" glow. Also, with the LEDs off, the caps look blank.

KUL has not made any mention to me about a numpad (current or future).

Only problem is that the glow around the caps is really inconsistent, and actually looks pretty shoddy in person IMO. The board itself is nice though.

Holy crap, my first set arrived already! The extra money for shipping is worth it if it only takes 8 days!

Vortex is currently producing Poker 3s with hopes of them releasing late Jan - mid Feb. Last I heard from our rep (~2 weeks), they had no blank RGBs.

Woah woah woah, Poker 3 in February? Guess I'll be holding out on buying a Poker II.

Sell some plate mount cherry stabs in all space bar sizes, please.

6.5u spacebar (for quickfire TK) - preferably in grey PBT, although I doubt that's going to happen, so any 6.5u spacebar will be okay.

[dante]

Do you guys think you can reach out to Vortex and see if you can acquire some PBT sets for the Race?  This has a funky layout and it's challenging finding replacements.

If you guys can get them for a price that's comparable to the red set.  My keyboard only came with the red WASD keys and I would like to replace them with Ducky's black WASD keys.
