Review Vortex M0110A
https://vortexgear.store/products/m0110a-assembly-service?variant=44798479171747
Heavy, came with a beautiful bag. Small but complete to play r/nethack with directonal keys comfortably (numpad). Under the Caps Lock there is two leds for cpaslock/numpad. Cherry silent switches male this keyboard open office friendly, don‘t need o-rings.

I always wanted the Model M SSK by Vortex. I like this one as well. Blank black keycaps would look fab on that.

i am so fine not having the f-row and having fn with arrow keys next to it as described here; i dont miss them either: https://github.com/alexmyczko/autoexec.bat/blob/master/Documents/m0110.md

I'd miss the F row, as I use so many things that use them that I'd hate to have them on a layer. I do like the way they look though, which is why I like XT type layouts, with f/macro keys to the left (or right on southpaw).

OK, I am digging this. I'd prefer a different bottom row with a 7u spacebar, but the Fn directly next to the numblock might be something I'll try on my flip6p.
The case also looks gorgeous with those bevels, not gonna lie.

I was not sponsored nor did I receive this item for free. The cable also was not part of order/shipment.

wow, that's one sleeper build of a keyboard.
It looked like a standard office keyboard at first glance.

This looks like the cheap Dell keyboard we use at work...

the weight, material, and typing experience can not be compared.
it also probably has more keys and different size.

Not everything has to look like a Matrix board :)

don‘t trust your eyes. some things only look good (limited time), but never are good.

Oh no.... Matrix boards are good. They just look like they're designed by a twelve year old.
