Are these OEM profile?

Look like some set is OEM, some set is Cherry. Much better fonts than previous Vortex set.

lol yeah I think they finally caught on that people don't like the fonts.  This is pretty good now.  :D

lol first I find I'm the only one that prefer OEM profile.  Now I also find I'm the only one that doesn't like Cherry font.

I think I like thinner fonts like the ones on Das Keyboard and Apple Keyboards.  Cherry font is too thick and round for me.

At least the legends aren't as bad as usual

The font is good, a lot better than previous ones. Really like the "shadow" caps, the ones with the front printing. I'm not such a fan of the top printing, the placement is a bit weird.

nice looking legends, when will these be available?

I'm with you. The OEM profile keys are simply better for typing for me, because I find the sculpt of it optimal compared to OEM. Cherry font is nice, but I prefer blank anyways, haha. It's not like it's the holy grail of fonts, it's just an old one which people like. No different from any other font, but it looks just a bit too retro for my tastes.

Sorry if I miss something... they might be thick but they are still pad printed, right? If so, picture me indifferent.

Those blanks look good. Any chance you can show us photos of the bottom so we can see how thick these are?

On picture #7, you can see those are thick PBT keycaps.  :)

They're basically stock Poker II keycaps, but for a full size keyboard.

The Cherry profile, look like come from same factory as those in my PBT buys so it's good quality key.
Title: Re: VTG present-Thick PBT keycap

^ I start to wonder if the OEM profile ones are done from the same factory too.

That's the typical Vortex way, they post something and never really respond when questions are asked. Then in a few months someone will run a group buy or they will show up on taobao or ebay or something.

I just saw this today, does that mean this is ready to the public now?

Group buy anyone?
