Author Topic: [GB] Vortex Thick PBT Dyesub 104-Keyset [Shipped] (Read 159462 times)

[03/05/2013] Important Update: The colored sets were supposed to be shipped from China last week so I can get started with shipping this week before my trip on Sunday 3/10. But my supplier was waiting for the white keysets from a distributor so he can get the last few colored sets dyed last weekend, and he just shipped out all of the colored set to my shipping agent in China. Anyway, the colored sets are on the way from China, but unfortunately it seems like it's not gonna make it before Sunday, and I'll be flying to LA in Sunday morning. So I'll prepare shipping out all the colored sets when I get back from my trip on 3/16 and drop them to the post office on Monday 3/18. I'm so sorry about this huge delay as this group buy got delayed so many times and eventually it's on the way.

Finally worked it out with Vortex and a distributor in China. So we have ~~two~~ six options for this group buy.

Vortex White Thick PBT Dyesub 104-Keyset

Vortex Rainbow Thick PBT Dyesub 104-Keyset

Vortex Blue Thick PBT Dyesub 104-Keyset

Vortex Purple Thick PBT Dyesub 104-Keyset

Vortex Grey Thick PBT Dyesub 104-Keyset

Vortex WYSE (White/Grey) Thick PBT Dyesub 104-Keyset

105 keys included with extra stepped capslock. The spacebar has 4 stems to fit Filco, Cherry 3000, Ducky, Das, etc. It doesn't fit Leopold. And, Cherry profile of course.

I'll stop taking orders on January 15th, 2013. (If we can survive from 2012.

)

I ordered the last 40x white keysets from Vortex, so most likely I'll also stop taking orders for the white keyset whenever we reach the 40 sets as long as Vortex doesn't have any new stocks coming up soon.

There's no limitation for the colored sets so far.

Hopefully I can do the shipping for the white keyset before I go back to China on December 19th, if I can receive them soon.

Pricing:

White Keyset -- $35

Rainbow Keyset -- $47

Blue/Purple/Grey/WYSE(White&Grey) Keyset -- $45

Am I seeing that price right? $35 for a complete dyesub PBT? You can't even get complete ABS sets for that much.

Are these essentially the same thick ones that imsto is selling?

The_Beast · « **Reply #2 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:20:17 »

Damn, if I didn't have like 4 cap set on order right now I'd JUMP on this right naow

SmallFry · « **Reply #3 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 12:24:18 »

They have an ugly font, but the price is definitely right!

lol that's exactly how I felt when I saw the price. It is crazy for a complete thick PBT dyesub 104-keyset. It's even cheaper than regular PBT keyset! X_X

I think they should be the same compared to the ones from imsto, since they're both from Taiwan.

What are the two Cap Lock keys? The one on the right looks to be laser-etched, perhaps.

less impossible than double shot, but they wear very well.

I believe the grey print is an example of their thin stuff, not sure on legend technique.

Yes, but why is this picture HERE at all? Just want to be sure that "too good to be true" isn't.

The one on the right is a regular (thin) PBT with laser-etched printing and OEM profile.

Vortex is a company I avoid, but at that price I can't skip it.

Ordered and paid for 1 white set, had to talk myself out of the rainbow set

but surely I have enough colourful keys already. *Paid the conversion fee for you as well*

samwisekoi · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 18:10:48 »

Bought two sets to use as OEM replacements on (e.g.) CM QF keyboards immediately upon purchase.

Made an error on PayPal; you will see two payments that combine to be the correct amount. Sorry about that.

Thanks for setting this up!

Will be in for at least a set, also going to be letting some friends know.

Are the sets going to come with warped space bars like in the picture?

bavman · « **Reply #28 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 21:20:03 »

I would also like to know if we could get it blank.

Hyde · « **Reply #31 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 23:55:49 »

Man the price is so nice, though like most have said the font is kinda like.......... WHYYYYYYYYYYY ?!?!?!

And I just ordered like 3 sets of thick PBT from another group buy >_______>

At least the other cherry replica looks nicer I guess.... just not $35........

nullstring · « **Reply #32 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 00:34:28 »

Good price. Ugly font. In for a white set.
I payed with a credit card, so I opted to send it as a non-gift, since I'll have to pay fees either way.

I payed $42.49 USD for 1x white set + $6 priority shipping. Let me know if this works out for you.

Thanks.

Ease guys... I'm a big fan of blank sets too, and I'm definitely interested in buying it. Still waiting for response from JC (I think he's from Vortex) to see if they will make blank sets in the future.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #36 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 03:43:26 »

Interested in all black blanks, but white banks would be nice too.

Batmann · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 04:51:19 »

I red here and there some interesting things about dying caps
Do you think dying this with black dye would give good results?

Someone should buy a spare set of rainbow keys and sell them to me for the same price if I ever decide I want them

Crazy nice price and super-white.

Agreed that the font is not so desirable.

Debating...

tobr1an · « **Reply #46 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 14:39:32 »

Both sets are very tempting............Must resist, if white's not sold out by like a week or 2 before christmas i'll get it as an excuse for myself as christmas present.

jakemfbacon · « **Reply #47 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 16:01:38 »

hmm i really like these however my quickfire rapid is the ISO version because I got it a lot cheaper on black friday.... buttt I am assuming these don't come in ISO? How about TKL? I guess just a few of my keys would just have to be blank white keycaps.... would you guys go for it or think it would look bad?

And I don't know why everyone is complaining about the font lol. I like blank keycaps the most but half the reason these cought my eye is the font.

bavman · « **Reply #48 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 16:40:02 »

If you really want black blanks, you could always buy the ones for sale now and get a cheap bottle of black rit dye (I think they are $3 or so online) and just dye them yourself....It SHOULD hid the text and the whole key should become black...but I can say for sure. Someone take one for SCIENCE!

Batmann · « **Reply #49 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 16:50:41 »

that's what I'm planning to do tbh!

Btw did you get my form Feng?
