MX Brown, MX Clear

About:

The Vortex Race 3 (often listed as just the vortex %75 or vortex 75) is Vortex's premium non tiny keyboard. Just like the Pok3r it uses an Aluminum case and nice PBT key-caps however the colours of it are slightly strange, it sort of reminds me of Lego pieces. Has 3 Layers of programmablity. Comes with mac key-caps (the command key) but sadly does not come with a key-cap puller. 1 user reported that his key-caps came with small smudges. It features a short none braided cable. Non standard top and bottom row may make it harder or impossible to customize, the 'F' and 'J' keys don't have the raised bumps that many touch typist find useful but due to being DSA profile the 'F' and 'J' key are a slightly different height than all other key caps, amusingly some users have docked the keyboard stars for this thinking it is a defect and not a feature.

Pros:

  • Aluminum Case
  • DSA profile
  • Programmable

Cons:

  • Hard to get custom key-caps
  • One user said key-caps had smudges on them
  • Short nonbraided cable
  • Weird colours

Additional Comments:

  • It's basically a pok3r for people who like function keys and an arrow cluster while having a Lego addiction and some other major changes.
