Title: V60 Mini @ PEXON PCs (Pre-order starts TODAY) EXTENDED Until:- 21st June
Post by: pexon on Thu, 29 May 2014, 05:58:57: We will be taking pre-orders for the amazing V60 Mini (60% mechanical keyboard) soon.

These boards will be available with the following switches:-

MX Green
MX Blue
MX Brown
MX Black
MX Red
MX White (limited qty)
MX Clear (limited qty)

These keyboards feature switchable back-lighting in red/ blue or blue/green.

ANSI is available with the possibility of ISO if demand is high enough

Be sure to let us know if you are interested, we will be taking pre orders through the site soon. These boards are really nice, I've been using on for the past few weeks and the switchable backlight is cool and pretty unique, build quality is great and the layout is perfect for easy cap switching.

Post by: GeorgeStorm on Thu, 29 May 2014, 06:06:54: Price?

Is the case standard plastic? What makes this different from a poker/ducky mini etc apart from being able to switch the backlight between two different colours?

Price?

Is the case standard plastic? What makes this different from a poker/ducky mini etc apart from being able to switch the backlight between two different colours?

Price will be the same as Poker 2 for standard switches with the Clear/ White versions being ever so slightly more (due to the MSRP). The MSRP is 129.99 I believe.

Case is standard plastic, we may look at supplying aftermarket V60 cases too though.

The board has 6 port dip switches, update-able firmware over USB and of course, the dual back-light is a pretty cool feature.

Post by: cooldiscretion on Thu, 29 May 2014, 08:44:51: These are looking pretty tempting. I've seen on their youtube channel they have videos of it doing backlight breathing mode as well. I assume that will be available at some point when they release a firmware upgrade.
Title: Re: V60 Mini @ PEXON PCs (PRE ORDER SOON!)
Post by: pexon on Thu, 29 May 2014, 09:13:08: Yes, the backlighting has a breathing option too. The breathing option comes stock with the boards. :thumb:

Thanks!

Free shipping is a placeholder for UK customers only, I can't afford to ship them to the EU/ US for free I am afraid.

Just waiting on confirmation from the supplier that I can start taking pre-orders, once I do, I will make a post about it here, so keep an eye out! :D

I'm sure for a standard service it will only be about 12GBP

Just for our information, how do we register our interest for a V60 mini in ISO format?

There is quiet a high MOQ for each switch in ISO, there is a possibility of a second round in ISO format.

Sorry to go off topic (from current groupbuy to a theoretical one), but in the situation where a groupbuy for ISO V60 minis did occur, would you look to offer options for all of the MX switches that are available in this GB or would you stick to the more popular core of MX Red/Blue/Brown?

I ask only because I would be looking to buy a V60 mini with MX Clears rather than one with more popular MX switches.

I could look into it for you my friend. I will ask the question to see if I can get you one with MX Clears in ISO layout :thumb:

Not sure on ISO, the MOQ is high for each switch, so it will be ANSI only for the foreseeable future, I also love you :D
