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

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.

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.

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.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

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

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.
