Is it with Red switches? Vortex should have sent me 5 reds with Aluminum case, black and anodized.

Orz I hope that they did not mess that up.

As you can see above, it fits perfectly on a MacBook Air, and surprisingly manages to NOT push down on the underlying keys, which is something NONE of my other keyboards will do.

One slight problem... Upon closer examination I think I got the wrong keyboard. This appears to be a plastic, not Aluminum, case. :-o

SWEET! :-D

lol it's look like the plastic one.

... and p.s. wins the award for swiftest and most attentive customer service ever! :-)

Apparently the Aluminum case is lower profile too. I missed out on a plastic one with MXBlues, so I can't compare side-by-side. Right now though, I think I have a new favorite keyboard. I may even be able to get used to the misplaced tilde key–I'll know better about that after I've been in a shell for a while.

The placement of the fn key on the right of the spacebar, while leaving the Command, Option, Control keys where they belong, on the left, was a surprisingly brilliant choice. The option to use the right-shift, alt, acorn, ctrl keys as arrows is very clever too. These Taiwanese Squirrels should win an award for best compact keyboard design outside of Apple, and best ever made with mechanical switches.

Now, when can I get an Aluminum Pure with MXBlues, please? :-D

You guys are definitely better at taking photos than my partner. Mind if I use those on my advertising?

captain · « **Reply #161 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 01:23:04 »

This keyboard just keeps proving itself to be better and better than anything else! I am typing this via the CCK on an iPad (WITH the LEDs cranked up to 100% even)! Sure, it complains that "this device is not supported", but dismiss that alert and type away happily with a keyboard not much wider than the iPad itself, and illuminated for these late night, last minute comments from the dark. :-D

Love this keyboard! Has everything I need in a compact size. The only gripe I have is that the symbols aren't lighted. Oh wells.

The only time key cap height is an issue is when you mix them, like using OEM modifiers with Cherry alphanumerics. If you use all of one or the other type, there is no issue. SP key height is lower than OEM, but not quite as low as actual Cherry Corp key caps.

Argh! I missed this buy. I really wanted the the Pure KB with no LED. I love the fact that it has a detachable cord. But would love 11KRO instead of 6. If anyone got an extra or can smuggle me one, please PM me. I got the money. Black would be awesome too.

Or I'll buy on the 4th batch.

p.s. · « **Reply #177 on:** Tue, 05 June 2012, 08:06:02 »

4th run will begin 2 or 3 weeks later.

p.s., does that mean you have information that Pokers will be making a comeback? That seems to be a big mystery lately.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE INCLUDE POKER WITH BROWNS IN THE NEXT RUN!

And preferably for a cheap- er, reasonable price

If the poker's are still going to be available, any chance it's known whether their PCB will be blue or red?

AFAIK, they used blue for their early production in limited quantities. Not sure if that is available anymore. Unless they use it on their limited editions, which I have not seen.

p.s. · « **Reply #188 on:** Fri, 15 June 2012, 09:05:16 »

I have only seen blue PCBs in the prototype batch. All the others are with Red PCBs.

PBT caps has arrived. I will post another FS thread with pics this weekend.

And I have got 2 Model M space savers yesterday. I might sell one of them locally after unpacking and inspect.
