Apparently you can view their incoming stock and how many they've got coming now. Interesting.

If there are no numbers beside a product, does that mean no numbers given or no stock?

Looks like they have updated it since I first looked at it. More Ducky and now some Vortex Pure's!

I wonder if this list is only for items that are being re-stocked? Anyone see anything that's new to the site?

Good question, looks like all this stuff is hot linked to items they already had in stock on the site.

Do they create listings for items they are about to get in stock?

This may be a change in workflow. I know one of the issues in the past, based on old threads I've read, is that they would get the products in and then create the listings. I'm wondering if this change is just for the stuff that is a restock, meaning they have the bulk of the information in their system.

Changing a switch type to MX-White is pretty easy, versus having to create a whole new entry say for the Tex Mini 60%., so I'm guessing it's restocks.

I would love for them to sneak the poker pro (ANSI) onto that list. I've seen pictures of the ISO version which if I'm not mistaken is scheduled for release sometime next month.

kudos to MK for this.

Sad that Cherry MX Green Duckys aren't on the list :(   I'm on the fence with the Ducky Shine MX White - would rather have side printed PBT...

I don't see a full size Cherry MX Red with red LED's.  :(

I guess I might have to settle for another color.

I had a feeling someone here would beat me to creating this thread :)

The new 'Incoming Keyboard Stock' page is a tool we created to help everyone keep track of what we have coming in.

The numbers next to some of the keyboards show rough qty's just so everyone knows how limited a certain model may be.  If we have 8 of a given model coming in a (<10) will be next to it.  Anything over 20 pieces won't have a number.  Of course anything with (<5) means it's only 1 - 4 of that model, so it likely won't last very long (unless it's Black MX haha).

I hope everyone finds it useful!

Do note: we may not have ALL incoming shipments listed on the page, but most will be - especially if it's models people are waiting on.

Playing off of this. Will you put new products that you have not had in before up on this list, once you know your getting them? Like the Tex or Poker Pro for example.

Tex is still in production, but our best guess is April 30th - May 15th.  First production run, so could be longer...

No word from Vortex on Pure Pro.

MX White != MX Clear in NA region, In case you were confused.
MX White == MX Milk.

I have a question regarding the upcoming kbt pure restocking. I have noticed how some images on the site feature a low profile case (1st link) while others do not, for example http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=115 vs http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=307 are those images a correct representation of the product or are they all standard size cases (2nd link)?

Post by: Lastpilot on Fri, 22 March 2013, 18:37:17
That's because the limited edition Pures came with an aluminum case. The purple ones came with a black aluminum case, same dimensions as the silver one. :)

Yeah, we need to add something to top description on those two.  Have to read all the way to the bottom to see the difference.  We try to create uniform ways of categorizing everything and Hybrid Switch boards really throw a wrench in the works :D

Sorry Orlando, but I took another look at the site and am now beginning to doubt myself. Right now this seemingly normal Pure  (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=128)is shown with a low-lip case.  Either Vortex started manufacturing low-lip cases [plastic or aluminum I no longer know; as far as I knew before, the only low-lip cases were aluminum] or mechanical keyboards.com is just using old images and didn't realize the mistake.

I'll let ShakeR sort it out, sorry for the confusion.

The Ducky Shine II with "Whites" are apparently Clears just fyi.

From MK's Facebook page:

Updated: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=296

We originally had these listed as 'White Cherry MX' as per Ducky's description. However, they are actually Clear MX. Sorry for the mix up!

Honestly, I won't know until the shipment arrives and we pull a cap off.  The White vs Clear vs Milky depending on the geographical location at the time conundrum is taking it's toll.  Ducky has them all listed as 'Whites' on their site, invoices, packing lists, etc. but the last models we had like this ended up being clears so I can't give a definitive answer.  We'll update the listing once it comes in before making it live.

What ShakeR said. But I feel at this time it's very likely that in Ducky world,  [them] CN white => US clear, [them] CN milk => US white.
