Vortex Race 3 Mechanical Keyboard MX Brown Cherry (UK Layout)
Vortex Race 3 newest 75% keyboard, the 83-key gaming keyboard. Do you need dedicated arrow keys that your 60% doesn’t provide, but don’t want the size of a TKL? A 75% may be just for you! Most of the keys are in the “normal” spot, so there’s nearly no learning curve for this keyboard.
The Race 3 features a silver anodized CNC case and cone feet. It also has DSA keycaps with dye-sub legends in a vintage grey colorway with 19 extra RGBY and MAC keycaps.

Pros
Sensible, compact layout that preserves the function and arrow keys
Gorgeous, quality key caps (PBT)
Lots of options with the optional Mac and coloured key caps (I swapped out the shift and arrow keys for the green and yellow keys which looks great)
The combination of the DSA profile key caps and Cherry MX Browns is a joy to type on
Floating keys and no bezel is a great look and easy to clean
Quiet enough for a shared office environment without o-rings
Cons
No keycap puller, odd given the optional key caps provided
Slight wobble on base between bottom left to top right. Easily remedied by a spot of black electrical tape on the bottom left rubber foot which levelled the case out
Key caps can be tricky to remove, just use a wire key puller and gently wobble the cap
Despite the minor cons this is still the best keyboard I have every owned.
Great service from Spot On too. Arrived next day by courier and was well packaged, will buy again.
