THey look really nice thus far but one major let down both i and Rhinofeed had commented on was the lack of use of VORTEX's own PBT+POM backlit keycaps instead of the doubleshot ABS they decided to use. While it's a major improvement over the cruddy caps that came on the backlit non RGB pok3r it's still something i wish they had done.
Mine was sent with double shot PBT+POM backlit as I mention in the review. They are coming out with a PBT version (confirmed by staff).
You positive on that? Those look like the same Keycaps both Leand and Rhino got on theirs and they both mentioned Doubleshot ABS, in addition unless they created a new set just for the RGB poker those do not look like the existing PBT+POM set.
Obviously since i do not have one in my possession i'm not sure either but i'm curious how you came about them definitely being PBT+POM and not doubleshot ABS?
Cheers
Yes, I'm relatively positive since I have been around the block but I sent another email with staff to confirm. He told me he sent out PBT version and the caps feel PBT. In this screen shot from my video you can see the texture:

However, I will let you know once I receive a double confirmation. I could be wrong ofcourse. However, I have smooth double shot PBT caps as well, so texture can be deceiving so a double confirmation seems in order.
I'll keep you posted.
Awesome! Really appreciate you taking the time to confirm! If they actually are going to be shipping these with the PBT+POM keycaps....my wallet is already crying.

They honestly look exactly like the doubleshot ABS caps that come on the Ducky Shine 5 in every way, and those have a texture to them that isn't quite PBT but is definitely not what you would expect from ABS.
Would be really cool if they were actually PBT, though. Ducky just announced they are going to have PBT doubleshots on the Shine 6 and Year of the Monkey boards... so maybe Vortex got their hands on these a bit early? That would be great.
