Vortex CORE 47-Key Mechanical Keyboard

Feb 4, 2017

Recently got my DSA Granite keycaps and thought I would compare them to the stock DSA keycaps on the Core. First thing I've noticed is that the Granite keycaps feel more textured on the top whereas the top of the stock keycaps felt more subtle in comparison. The stock keycaps' tops were are slightly less pronounced than Granite, but you really have to look for the difference to notice it. Granite is slightly thinner and flexes when I apply a bit of pressure with my fingers, the stock keycaps on the other hand doesn't flex at all. The sound between the two keycaps set are very similar, the stock keycap set has a slight deeper thock. This difference is very small and it might just be a placebo effect, not outside the margin of error.
Vortex will eventually sell DSA keycaps. Between Signature Plastic and Vortex, I would go with Vortex as they are thicker and the sound is slightly better in my opinion. If you want a more grippy keycap set, Signature Plastic's keycaps are the way to go.
