The ViBE’s experience is now as is expected out-of-the-box. The shortcomings discussed in the review were corrected after a change was made in Karabiner Elements’s keyboard remapping software. Note: This review was last updated on Jto reflect some issues corrected regarding the Vortex ViBE’s firmware when working on a Mac computer. My experience has been good enough to keep going with the Vortex ViBE, but I’m certainly going to be looking for other mechanical keyboard options. This thing is stuck in ten keyless mode and I can’t get it out. I’ve also run into nothing but issues with the keyboard’s support - I simply can’t get the ViBE to work in the “Numpad Mode,” where I can use the number pad to, you know, type numbers. For instance, it took me at least a week to understand why people prefer the feel of a mechanical keyboard over a thinner variety found on most laptops today - at first, the feeling was far from “magical,” as was the vibe I got whenever speaking to a mechanical keyboard whiz. Though, the uniqueness of the experience has been both good and bad. Otherwise, the rest of the Vortex ViBE has been a unique experience. My day job and study require said number pad, so there was little compromise here. I opted for the Vortex ViBE, a unique layout that jettisons the standard arrow keys and Page Up/Down, Home, End, Insert, and Delete keys in favor of a 60% layout plus number pad. Shawn loves his Keychron K2, Mike his CODE, Isaac his Magicforce, Jeff his custom-built Keebio Nyquist (among many others I hear), and Rose her Fnatic - many of which rock Cherry MX Browns - and so it was high time I joined the fun. After all these years of seeing my colleagues here at The Sweet Setup rock their semi-pretentious mechanical keyboards, it was time I partook and attempted to discover the secret sauce behind their looniness ( Editor’s note: Josh means “undeniable awesomeness” in this context).
