White PBT double shot_red

[MKULTRA]

Whether you like it or not, massdrop does GB for these caps: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vortex-keycaps

39.99?  Is that a mistake?

[Photoelectric]

And most importantly, only blue legends?..  I would really like Red

MassDrop is only doing blue legends at the moment, this is the first time they have sold these keycaps since vortex announced them over a month ago. And no, the 40$ price tag is NOT A MISTAKE! How the hell can you pass up on these THICK PBT DOUBLESHOTs for that?!?!

[Photoelectric]

Blue   that's how.

[Halvar]

Unbearable legends -- that's how. 

The price is great, but I know I wouldn't use them. But I'm sure Vortex will become better in this.

[MTManiac]

if they get 100 buyers and it goes to the lowest price of 32.99 with free shipping CONUS I think I will have to buy a set just for the thick pbtness, I mean I don't look at the legends when gaming anyways, so even though they are hideous they don't bother me too much

i'd prefer blanks to those awful legends.

[RickyJ]

I like the colour, but the font reminds me too much of the old iMac keyboards at school.

[Hyde]

lol I actually do like the blue, though I've never used massdrop before so I might not jump in at this time.

Though we do really need a group buy on it at geekhack.  Also can any Vortex rep give us an estimate on when it will be available?

[quake4mhg]

Interested

[Halvar]

If somebody from the Geekhack community could help them with re-doing some of the legends and choosing a nice light-on-dark color combo that would be brilliant. I'm sure that many here would really like to get their hands on thick PBT doubleshots.

[tooki]

I have to agree, this is a beautiful execution of terrible typography.

[PilotChup]

How come everyone hates on the blue color so much? Sure, I understand the legends being weird, but they aren't THAT bad to me.

I think blue on white looks nice, and I have a backlit blue keyboard so it might look interesting having a blue glow around the keys

[Photoelectric]

Personal preference, and it's the most boring of the lot.  Also looks kind of hospital-themed to me: pure white + blue.  Red looks much nicer, pink and orange are cool and very uncommon, as is green. 

[Hypersphere]

Perhaps it is not hate, but a passionate love for perfection.

[rowdy]

If only the modifiers were WoB people might react slightly differently.

If the above, and the legends were more consistent, it would be instant win!

Edit: That's White on Blue in case anyone was wondering.

Legends be damned, it's too good of a price to pass up; I've still got keyboards with ABS on 'em at work and I don't want to throw down $80+ on more thick PBT for a work keyboard. Hopefully the success of this buy at MD will encourage Vortex to offer other colors (and maybe rework the legends down the line). If they fixed the font / alignment and offered some of the color schemes people want, I'd bet Vortex wouldn't be able to keep these in stock.

if you search for ' ikbc ' on taobao.com, you will find a fullkey keyboard with a white on black double-shot thick pbt, with free gifts of rgb thick mods, full white thick double-shot pbts with font color of your choosing. example;

Dang, that's a pretty sweet deal! I've never purchased from a Chinese site like that - do you typically use a proxy or something to make the order & arrange shipping? I suppose I could enlist the help of my flatmate for translation...

im in Malaysia, and there are a few people doing proxy services for shopping on taobao and some other online websites. all we have to is let them know what we want, they calculate, we pay them and wait for the item(s) to arrive. of course, cost varies from one to another and also depending on customs tax, etc.
