Vortex Pok3r RGB


Hi All

So I am in the market for a mechanical keyboard, which is still a fairly niche market in Australia (it seems).

The board which has initially caught my eye is the Vortex Pok3r RGB.

I have searched this forum and online and was unable to find any recent discussions
about this unit and its functionality under linux specifically.

Just wondering if anyone in the community has any experience with it, or even the non-RGB model which also goes by the name Code 61-key, by WASD?

My understanding is that most of its programmability is done at the firmware level,
hence not relying on software to be installed, like boards such as the Corsair line.

If anyone has information or can point me to a review which is related to how it operates in linux it would be much appreciated

As usual, please let me know if I need to provide any additional information?

This man confirmed that it worked for him under Linux.

The Vortex Pok3r has also worked flawlessly for me.
