Vortex Backlit PBT Doubleshot Keycap Set

Feb 1, 2017

@Vortex There's an occurring problem with a lot or all of the sets.
People are not receiving the 1.25u Shift keycap, instead, they are receiving two 1.25u Fn keycaps. My set only came with one 1.25u Fn keycap, but no 1.25u Shift keycap. This is frustrating because I need it!
Is something happening with quality control? Because there's certainly a problem here. I got only 126 keycaps, missing that one single 1.25u Shift keycap to make 127 total. Really annoyed here.
@XiK Please check what's going on with this problem, I would really greatly appreciate it and others.
EDIT: Received the missing 1.25u Shift key on 15 April that MD/Vortex sent out. My set is now complete. Will post photos shortly.

ViraDid you get a row 2 1x1 cap? The one next to ISO Enter. I've got double Fn as well, but you can at least use it as a shift, but there's nothing I can use as a row 2 key.

Vira Did not receive any 1.25u Shift keycap also, instead got two 1.25u Fn keycaps.
BTW was the stepped caps lock supposed to be center stemmed?
Everything else seems to be ok. Not the thickest of PBTs but overall nice feel and quality for the price.

Vira @Slaynie - No, they weren't supposed to be included in this set. I find it annoying that they don't include it. Because they provide the ISO Enter keycap and the left 1.25u Shift keycap. I think that's what the spare four empty spaces are for, those keys, the one next to the ISO Enter and left 1.25u Shift. The problem he is that Fn will already be occupying a spot so I have to repurpose another key which is frustrating.
@AlexQx - No, meant to be off centred which correct. It's not often manufacturers make centred stepped caps lock or control in that spot.
I'm not even gonna start on the PBT thickness; you got nearly half of the keycaps half doubleshotted while the rest is full doubleshot. Theres even a few other things I've noticed that bugs me. Those I can cope with, but mainly pissed about the missing left 1.25u Shift keycap. It's like Vortex is trying to skimp on cost here.

ViraThis was supposed to be ISO drop. What good it is if they don't include all the caps for ISO keyboard? I even asked about it before the drop ended, got no answer (I thought that those diamond caps would be the row 1 and row 2 for ISO). Well, fool me once... Now I got an incomplete ISO set that I can't use...

SlaynieI am are of that, but it doesn't mean this set is unusable, whether you decide to use it or not, is up to you. Why they didn't include something to at least cover those two keys is unknown to me. They supplied the two main ISO keys which is the left Shift and ISO Enter, the other two are a little harder to supply due to language, which is my guess. Who you asked I don't know either. Diamond are representatives for the Windows logo key.
I'm just a looking for answers myself.
