Nighthawk X-Series Mechanical Keyboards

Nov 7, 2015

I still think this is a great feeling board to type on, but my co-worker's died after less than two years, so I can't recommend it. I sold mine because the bottom row layout is like the Corsair - difficult to find keycaps for.

KellyHThanks for the heads up, KellyH, I have a K70 RGB that I've been trying to get rid of due to the same bottom row layout issue.

wsjones1981Here's hoping that the upcoming Pok3r RGB doesn't share that problem. I don't think it will.
The longevity issue is the one that troubles me.
Mech keyboards are expensive; many are marketed as durable and purported to be well constructed. They shouldn't die that quickly.

VarholiaglimpTrue, my fingers are crossed. I'm really getting impatient. Hopefully, at the least the backlit white LED pok3rs will be available by 12/1/15. Oh well, we'll see.

wsjones1981If I wanted the white version of the Pok3r with white LEDs, I'd order it now from Mechanical Keyboards. It's definitely cheaper there than on Vortex's site.

VarholiaglimpThanks, I've been checking Mechanical Keyboards for a while now. I'll go after the white LEDs if there's no word on the pok3r RGB by 12.1.15. As of now, my fingers are crossed.
