Yeah, but for me that's a reason not to buy this set

Don't let that stop you! And I've mostly seen it the way they have this set if that helps any.

Kiniro · « **Reply #251 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 17:55:02 »

Just ordered a set of white keycaps for my Filco. I'm so excited!

I'm very interested in buying a set, just one thing got my attention:

I think the legend for the "\ |"- Keycap is wrong. On my Poker it is "\ |".

Can somebody help me?

The legend is correct, but due to the amount of italicization(lol) the bottom line which would be "\" rotates into "|" and the "|" rotates into "/". Hopefully that makes some sense to you.

I think he meant they are "| \" instead of "\ |". I was going to point that out too but you did it for me.

bardomudo · « **Reply #254 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 19:47:14 »

The | \ legend does seem to be wrong and not just an effect of the italicization. Didn't notice it before.

Ugh, that's a big bummer.

Any word on this feng? I can live with the bad font, but wrong legends are a completely different thing. Please contact Vortex and ask them to fix it for the sets you haven't shipped yet.

Binge · « **Reply #255 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 20:09:35 »

My Das has the same sort of "issue" it's an italicization thang. the lower character is indeed the \ and leans to the left.

scoot · « **Reply #256 on:** Tue, 08 January 2013, 20:19:54 »

Come on now people. Are you really complaining about a $35 set of thick pbt's?

Holy **** I didn't think about that. The top line is going to the right, which means they weren't just swapped. Hah that's hilarious. Still a great deal doe.

Hooray... Just ordered two sets, one blue one and one WYSE for my Filco. Seems like purchases like these dont hurt the wallet

When these will be shipped? ETA?

I guess I am asking myself as Feng is not answering any questions on these.

now you guys have me paranoid... If the grey set does in fact have those red keys, I'm switching my order to an all white set. lol Hopefully when feng gets back on the 14th we'll all have answers to our questions. But then that leaves a day to scramble and change orders before the deadline on the 15th. :/

It definitely looks as if its an effect of the italicization. It's not wrong. Look at the "? /" key. The "/" looks like its at a 45 degree angle. The font just makes the "\" look ALMOST vertical giving off the impression that its the "|", while the "|" is slanted, but not as slanted as the "/" with this font.

Don't want you to miss out on a set this cheap! Unless you're thinking about a white set, then the legends are very wrong.

I ordered two sets myself, so I'm definitely not missing on this

And yeah, I believe you're right, I opened Microsoft Word and tested the italicization on some fonts, and there are a few indeed where that phenomenon happens. Still a bummer, though.

On, and I'm almost sure the grey set will be completely grey. If I'm wrong I'll have to cancel my grey set order

Damn you already put one on reserve.

If I knew how many whites were left I'd order a set when they start to run out. Just trying to save money. And yes, I realize saving money is impossible on this forum.

the vortex black on black dyesubs are thin and oem profile. also, VERY hard to see. harder than topre black on black. Also fwiw, the space bar is only three stems so if you have something off-center you'll need to find another space bar. I use an abs universal spacebar on my <redacted>.

Not sure on when shipping happens, but I have heard that Feng is currently away and will return on the 14th. I'd guess that the order list would be updated then.
Hope that helps!

dohboi · « **Reply #279 on:** Sat, 12 January 2013, 22:07:57 »

Yeah, Feng is away right now. He just answered my PMs a day or two ago. I forgot to ask when these things are shipping out though. Just sent a PM yesterday about a timeframe and whether or not grey set will have all grey keycaps instead of the red "wNv" caps pictured. Fingers crossed its all grey, or else I'll be changing my order.

I want to order the WYSE keyset but I'm new to group-buys so I don't know how to exactly write my address.Is there a guide from USPS to write it correctly?
If there's someone who uses this method a lot,do you think something like this is ok?

-Name Surname
-Street
-Name of the company where I want it to be delivered
-City,District,ZIP code
-Nation(Italy)

That's the same format Amazon.it used to ship to me.Thank you for your help!

EDIT:Paid and filled out the form for a WYSE keyset.

To those with questions about the red "WNV" keys pictured with the grey set!

Just got confirmation from feng that the all grey set will in fact be all grey! No red W, N, V keys!

Now time to wait until he feels better and send them out!
