Product Description

The Vortex Tab 90M is a full-size mechanical keyboard designed for users who want a solid, wired typing experience with a standard ANSI layout. It suits office workers and typists who prefer a durable build and compatibility across multiple operating systems without the need for hot-swappable switches. Programmable layers and multiple layout options make it flexible for users who want some customization without complex software.

Key Features

Supports QWERTY, COLEMAK, and DVORAK layouts via pre-programmed key combinations, allowing easy switching without external software.
Includes three programmable layers to customize key functions, useful for users who want tailored shortcuts or macros.
Colored dye-sublimated PBT keycaps with black legends provide durable, fade-resistant labeling and a consistent typing surface.
USB-C wired connection ensures stable and universal compatibility without wireless concerns.

Build Quality

Aluminum top and bottom case offer rigidity and a premium feel, reducing flex during typing.
Plate-mounted Cherry MX switches provide a firm, consistent keypress preferred by many typists and gamers.
Keycaps are made of PBT, known for resistance to shine and wear over time.

Typing Experience

Choice of Cherry MX switch types allows users to select preferred tactile or linear feedback.
Key rollover is limited to 6 keys simultaneously, which may be sufficient for most typing but less ideal for fast-paced gaming requiring full NKRO.
Non-hot-swappable switches mean switch replacement or customization requires soldering skills.

Compatibility

Designed with MacOS compatibility in mind, including key mapping support.

Trade-offs
