The M50 is getting a lot of attention, but if you prefer the standard line, this one is also noteworthy.
Vortex has released a new low-profile keyboard, the Race Plus.
The product page describes Race Plus as “75% Low Profile,” “True Wireless Numpad Ready,” and “Powered by ZMK,” which combines a 75% layout with a separate numeric keypad.
The public images also read that the Race Plus has 83 keys / hot-swap, CNC Aluminum case, Bluetooth, 2400mAh battery, Gateron LP 3.0, and is Mac / Win compatible.
It looks chic and feels like a high-end, low-profile mechanical keyboard.
The highlight will be the presence of a separate numeric keypad.
The space-saving nature of the 75% keyboard is attractive, but there are situations where a numeric keypad is desired for those who do a lot of number entry.
Race Plus appears to be designed as a product that can go back and forth between the two from the start.
Although no exact information about the product’s specifications has been released, it does not appear to be a simple “75% keyboard bundled with a numeric keypad,” as it says “full wireless connectivity like the M50, same DNA.
In other words, the natural view is that a wireless numeric keypad is included as part of the 75% keyboard.
Therefore, it can be inferred that 75% of the communication between the keyboard and the numeric keypad is done wirelessly, and that the keyboard itself, which is the Master side of these signals, is connected wirelessly to the PC.
I look forward to hearing more about this one as well.
