VORTEX, you are very enthusiastic.

The Core Plus small keyboard has been announced since last year.

Pre-orders began on December 27, 2024, and shipments will begin in late February/March 2025.

The first generation Core was not VIA-compatible and did not support hot-swapping, so I remember using it with a lot of modifications.

It is a low-profile mechanical keyboard with an original profile called VTG profile, and uses Gateron LP2.0 keyswitches.

The main unit is made of CNC aluminum, has 50 keys, a split spacebar, is VIA-compatible, hot-swappable, and supports wired connections as well as wireless via dongle and BT connections.

The mounting system seems to be bottom case mount.

Now, to the main topic, I thought that since it is a foreign product, it would not pass the “Technical Qualification” test, but it seems to have passed the test.

This is the one you can buy from the official website.

I can’t get enough of this size…

I wonder if Archesite will handle it this time.
