Vortex Core Review
If you’ve looked into buying a mechanical keyboard, you’ve probably heard of the name “Poker”. The Poker is a 60% mechanical keyboard by a small Taiwanese company called Vortex. This keyboard has been very popular among the mechanical keyboard community and has been through 3 generations including an RGB variant. Just when you think keyboards couldn’t get any smaller, Vortex has introduce the Core, a 40% mechanical keyboard.
Unboxing the Core and Examination
The unboxing experience for the Core is probably one of the best unboxing experience I’ve had on any product. Vortex has really stepped up on the unboxing experience from their last keyboard, the Pok3r. The box has a really nice texture on it. The box is held shut by a pair of magnets, it really feels really satisfying to open. Once opened, you are greeted immediately by the Core keyboard itself along with the mistranslated phrase, “Find our Latestphilosophy and Enjoy Your Feeling.” The keyboard sits in really dense foam. Underneath the foam is the included no-frills USB-A to Micro-USB cable along with the instruction manual.
