FLAT Profile - Not keen on the flat profile so keycaps will be replaced but do like these key caps, bummer. I got it with Cherry MX Silent Red switches and not disappointed at all.
2018-2020 Ford 5.0L Mustang GT Supercharger Systems. A 75 percent board like the Vortex Race 3 is the perfect middle ground. These keys are more indented so there is a difference that you can learn to feel. I really enjoyed this keyboard while it worked, after using it for a while the micro-usb port broke. I travel a lot so time zones can make a difference if you def. Again, no complaints at all. Next to give away - Poker 3 and FC660M - both browns but after a few months of use, I miss having designated FKeys. The only issues I see are very minor: if you look closely, the legends are not absolutely perfectly aligned; and as others have reported, some of the keys are not going to be easy to replace with custom keycaps (but given these keycaps are dye-sub PBT, you shouldn't *have* to replace them for a very long time). Founded in 2010, our mission is to allow the keyboard becoming a boutique for computer peripherals by high quality materials, superior craftsmanship design, unique features and the most important is a affordable price.With the various accessories we provide, so that the keyboard is no longer a tedious input devices.We’ve redefined the keyboard during 2010-2014, challenge established norms. Switch options: Cherry MX Black, Brown, Blue, Red, Silver, Silent Red, or Silent Black. All this being said, it's still LIGHT YEARS better than the built-in crap I had to use on my laptop, which feels like tapping some inarticulate paper now that I got used to MX Blues! This keyboard is amazing. It's no news that this is an amazing keyboard! BUT HOW? Love the layout, the switches and the overall quality for the price. Only con I see is the side print for "Scrlk" on the F11 key is slightly higher than the other side prints. Very nice keyboard. I switched to the color keycaps because I like the color and something different. I don't dare unplug the cable now that I finally got it connected. Does not feel compact - prefer the color layout as well. They look just dull, which must have to do with the way PBT plastic scatters light, and colorful replacement caps solve little of this. Not gonna lie, I bought vortex race 3 simply because it looks good. Also, the micro USB is very difficult. Hoping the Race 3 does the trick to end my pursuit for the perfect daily board. However, the F and J keycaps have a more pronounced concavity so they are easily identifiable. The Vortex Race 3 is a good overall mechanical keyboard that sets itself apart by its unique design. I bought this with the cherry red and yes I am making a couple typos more than I used to. :)
Vortex just straight up uses higher quality parts and better keycaps, while Ducky has a plastic base, even though it is very high quality, it doesn't beat Vortex's aluminum case. There is no ridge on the F and J keys like many keyboards have to find your home position. Only downside was that when I first got it, one of the secondary layers was on by default, and I had to reset the board to get it to work properly. 2. Quick view. Having had my share of delaminated PCB pads in the past, I was extra nervous not to overheat pads in my Vortex, but the solder seemed to refuse being sucked out forever, as if there was a huge blob of it on the other side of PCB! And oh boy it looks as good as in picture in real life. The built quality and the included keycaps are both great. I got a vortex Pok3r recently and loved it. The included key caps are fantastic. Now the keycaps did take the old wiggle wiggle trick to get them off, but by lifting up gently/consistently while wiggling the keycaps slightly the keycaps came off without a hitch. Given the price, I'm disappointed that it didn't come with a tool to remove the keycaps. I guess ABS is much better regarding the eye candy. FLAT Profile - Not keen on the flat profile so keycaps will be replaced but do like these key caps, bummer. Most of the keys are in the "normal" spot, so there's nearly no learning curve for this keyboard. The responsiveness and feel of this keyboard is great! Also the documentation on the Amazon page isn't correct for changing the keyboard to the Mac layout with the latest firmware, which led to some frustration. It might change the way I feel about the switch. It was obvious that there's something rubbing against the stem inside. Vortex Race 3 Review – Unboxing the Vortex Race 3. Not noisy at all (especially with some o-rings). I love the layout because it's both compact yet still has a separate function key row above (and separate ESC vs ` keys). KEYCAPS REMOVAL - I used the smaller puller and damaged my enter key when replacing the keycaps (same day), however, receiving today, Leo FC980M to replace the one I spilled coffee (same day - wife shaking her head). Being as this is my first mechanical keyboard I have absolutely no complaints. I'll leave a review so stay tuned to whether or not it becomes a door stopper or my wife's new KB. Well, I hesitated to write a review before all my feelings about this keyboard have been settled. The extra (colored) keycaps are also pretty cool. But I just received mine today waaaay earlier than I expected! Not gonna lie, I bought vortex race 3 simply because it looks good. 5. 1. It feels as good as it looks, too. After cleaning, assembling and soldering it back, the switch now works no different form others. I am going to get Vortex Race 3 with MX Clears if it ever becomes available.
This is a great keyboard. 75% is the perfect size as I have to use the Arrow Keys every few minutes to do tasks at work. That being said, I am really loving this keyboard and it is now my daily driver when I am working at home. Additionally, the build quality seems pretty solid so far. So today I'm leaving a review for mechanicalkeyboards.com. Wider 1.25u Del key, which many people dislike for being non-standard, also assists finger positioning. I like the legends and profile of the caps. This is my first keyboard with mx clears and now I'm really glad I chose them for work. Sometimes I can go hours with it working fine, other times it will stop working every 10 minutes. Overall I love this keyboard, and I look forward to my next keyboard purchase. It meant that the Mac layout wasn't working correctly out of the box. 3. love this board so much, perfect size, great looks, nice and clicky without being too loud. This model combines outstanding quality with long service life and precise, easy-to-operate. This is an amazing keyboard. Now I have three broken switches and have to wait weeks to get it repaired. Does not feel compact - prefer the color layout as well. The keycaps it comes with are really nice, especially at this price point. I like the colored keys and you're starting to see more keycap sets have some of the 1.5u keys that are on here if you want to swap. I am not sure if I will get another one to keep at my office just because of the price (it's worth every penny, though! The brown switches are outstanding. The only complaints I could find about it where the fact that the key caps wouldn't be easily replaced. Took it with mx blue. Overall I would recommend this keyboard to anyone.
It's categorized as a TKL 75% layout, which is about as small and compact as a 60% or 65%, but has a few more keys, similar to a TKL layout. The Vortex RACE 3 is the new flagship keyboard by Vortex, the 75% format is used to fit nearly every keyboard enthusiast. Then I seen the Race 3 and knew this would be the perfect keyboard. I really think stock caps on this keyboard are more then fine specially being PBT.
