My X7 broke right away back in 2014 after only 1 month. The company was no help. I just pulled it out of the closet today (2/13/2020) disassembled it, tested the wires and tighten the ground wire screw.
It's working again!! LOLOL!
I still think this is a great feeling board to type on, but my co-worker's died after less than two years, so I can't recommend it. I sold mine because the bottom row layout is like the Corsair - difficult to find keycaps for.
If I wanted the white version of the Pok3r with white LEDs, I'd order it now from Mechanical Keyboards. It's definitely cheaper there than on Vortex's site.
VarholiaglimpThanks, I've been checking Mechanical Keyboards for a while now. I'll go after the white LEDs if there's no word on the pok3r RGB by 12.1.15. As of now, my fingers are crossed.
I have this exact keyboard. USB doesn't support more than 500ma since it's limited by the main USB standard, so will only work if your other devices don't require much power draw. Otherwise, it's a great keyboard that has programmable keys (via software) that allows you to program almost any key to a macro. Personally, I like the cherry browns.

Sadly, I'm just not interested in MX browns. Why is Nighthawk offering one switch when competitors (Ducky, KBP, Vortex, Varmilo, even WASD) offer them all? On other sites, you can buy this same keyboard with blues, at least.
I recently had to replace one of these after just over a year of use, I'll admit i used it heavily, but still not to the point that 4 keys should give out on me, since it was 4 at the same time i'm fairly sure it wasn't the switches themselves which leads me to question the build quality of these keyboards, these identical keyboards are sold by a bunch of companies as their own, Q-PAD sells them, as does Monoprice, I'm sure there are others as well. It was a great keyboard while it lasted, but i expect more then a year from a relatively expensive mechanical keyboard.
