They finally make pbt doubleshots, and make it all italics. I just feel like the keyboard is being sarcastic.

Did you guys know that the Ergodox doesn't Ping? I just noticed this today..... even when I put my ears up right next to the switch.. I can barely hear it...
Seems like rigid metal plates are the cause of most "ping" related incidents.
The longer I look, the worse it looks. Is it just me, or are there different sized fonts and the function row is a bigger font? And what's with the top justification and centered mix and left justified and centered mix?ergotp4 ;)

I hear if you suffer from Carpal Tunnel or RSI or any other ailment, laying hands on it instantly heals you.
It actually cures all known diseases and cancers, as well as lowering the risk of heart failure by 99%.
In some cases it has even caused regrowth of lost limbs and has brought one user back from the grave.
Vortex are such idiots. They're able to do PBT doubleshots and yet they do it in such a stupid font. If they offered those keys in a Cherry replica font and sold them in various colours then they'd sell like hotcakes.
Most of their market may be in China but if they actually made nice fonts then they would also have a large market outside of China. PBT doubleshots are highly desirable and if they made them in nice fonts then they would sell a very large amount of them outside of China.Vortex are such idiots.

they cater to a different market.. asians don't really care or notice difference and nuances in western typography ... it's not that they don't see the difference, they just don't like one over the other, italic, non-italic... it's all foreign abc to them.
Just like if you looked at Chinese calligraphy vs simsun typeface that's used for most digital distribution, You wouldn't care one way or the other.
But. to a Chinese person they see personality and have associations to different type faces of their language.

When they were making the moulds they chose an ugly font. If they had put a bit more time and a bit more money into it then they could have had a much nicer font or even a Cherry replica font. The costs wouldn't be much more for them and it would allow them to sell more to people who care about the font. Okay, you're right, the market for a better font isn't as large as I made it out to be but still.. It's there.. and if they had just chosen a nicer font they could sell to that market.
highly desirable to whom? the 1000 people on geekhack? LOL,, most americans don't care about typeface of their keyboards.
This is an example of us ghers having polarized opinion.. we've been stuck here so long that our vision is that of a man at the bottom of a well..
we've buried ourselves with keyboards.. no one else really does this.. no normal person that is.

It's not as if nicer fonts cost much more to make moulds for. There's no logical reason to choose an ugly font.
Those look like thick pbt doubleshots to me

Based on WHAT exactly? No. Seriously. Tell me.
Oh, you think it's the TEXTURE that makes them PBT? Yeah. No. IBM M chassis - the whole thing - is ABS. You can texture ABS.
Oh, because they're THICK? Uh, yeah. I've got ABS double-shots that put those to shame and then some.
Seriously. It's Vortex. Take ALL claims with several truckloads of salt.
This thread is gold.

All I've got to say bout this.
