Vortex are a huge name in the world of mech keyboards - Much bigger than Corsair, gaming enthusiasts and keyboard enthusiasts are two different people so if you wish to buy a Corsair keeb go for it, your money - But the UK really could use people pushing mechanical keyboard sales for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, I say good to OcUK for doing so.

Oh and one of the biggest things about why they have the price tag they do is build quality, remember all those issues Corsair had? Yeah...

Take a look here. I can see this being very popular for OcUK - I just want my ANSI :(

Now if I could get hold of HHKB at a decent price..... Until then this excellent POK3R will have to do :)

Ohhh yes! But honestly please try to stock some ANSI boards, even if it's a couple to test the waters - I refuse to pay ££ extra on keycap sets purely for an ugly enter key and many others prefer ANSI too :(


I'm still considering one of these for work but when I price up base + iso + specials it gets £££

The ANSI and ISO would end up the same price on our website, my costs from distribution are the same. :(

Sorry, you're misunderstanding me - When buying keycaps the price for ISO extras is astronomical due to the extra niche keys (mechanical keyboard enthusiasts are still a niche in the UK it seems, most keycaps are sold in the US and thus primarily for ANSI boards) - There's quite a large market for ANSI boards in the UK for this very reason. I've pinged you a trust with some interesting info :)

I get you. Still when I've been looking at the extra keys for UK ISO sets the cost hasn't been that exorbitant. Maybe 5-10% extra. I guess that it depends on the vendor though. I only really have experience buying keycaps from Tai Hao.

A quick post on the keyboard choice for this build, while I sort out other (more expensive) things toward the end of this month.

I've wanted a 60% keyboard for a while and I love the minimalist style they offer, while also saving a ton of backpack space when going LAN or travelling.

I've chosen to go for the Vortex POK3R RGB with brown switches.

My main requirement was for a metal chassis, which the Vortex POK3R offers. secondary was to have brown switches. Brown switches are my favourites to use, out of all I have tried, and is entirely down to personal comfort and ease of typing AND gaming.

I have paired this with the Tai Hao PBT Double Shot Keycaps in black/grey.

I have popped the Glorious PC Gaming Race GWR-75 wrist rest. Perfect!

I'm really happy with how the lighting turned out with these keycaps. They have printed lettering so of course light doesn't bleed through the keys but rather leaves a lovely underlighting that isn't overwhelming. I'll admit, this is the first time using PBT caps, but I can be sure that my previous keyboard was the last time that I use ABS caps!
