According to Vortex's Facebook page...

Hi All of you guys~

Pure PRO has been shipped! There are UK, DE, FR version in the first batch.

ETA: April 18th - April 20th, 2013

So I'm guessing that it's all ISO? I don't know. As with anything with Vortex, it's all a guess until we can see them.

I've attached images of both layouts and if you want read up on all the speculation and guessing, I recommend you check out Laffindude's thread where there's more photos and details about this new 60% board.

Well, they thought about putting both Control keys on the left, so this is an improvement!

Seriously, there are any number of people here who could do better.

How are we going to replace that spacebar if we get a Cherry DS set?

Err what a turnoff. Not only will it not match, then when it shines you have to suck it up.

We need a poll. Are those "engineers" (a) idiots, (b) on drugs, or (c) both previous options are correct?

Nobody seems to have noticed it yet, this font is still the one from the original Pure, they just shrank it vertically.

I ordered the spanish version of the kbt puro from kbtpure.com pro a month ago. The keyboard showed as "in stock", and actually still does.

But I haven't got any information about when this thing will actually ship. They don't seem to answer their mails and their nice webchat seems to forward to /dev/null. And this is actually the webpage they are recommending for EU users on Vortex facebook etc.

Next week i'm going to pull my money back, and start looking for alternative. I actually liked the idea about 60% with arrows. Does anybody know an alternative 60% with arrows AND iso -layout?

Massdrop is offering these now I think. Worth checking out if you want one.

Seems to be ANSI version. Such a shame, I love it with the pbt keycaps.

And anyone is surprised Vortex produces something completely and utterly worthless when they don't have KBT doing all the design work for them or Ducky doing a rebrand?

Your only choice would be a GH60 with custom keycaps because of its programmable layout.
