PM feng. I think he still has some for sale.

I bought a 105 set of keycaps, but the 'regular' caps lock was missing. The seller is sending me one, but until then I'm using a spare 'Tab' key.

-Tad

Lets bring this thread back to the top!

Will you be taking orders for this again? If so, could there be black anodizing done?

-Tad

Hi treble,

I'm trying to get back into this buy. I was able to keep my Poker, and now want a more elegant way to add weight to the board (not fishing line weights).

One question though: Do either of the cases (3rd batch or 4th batch) fit the thick pbt keycaps from imsto? I have a set of these in ...

It really wasn't there. All 105 keys were in the set, but it came with three 'Tab' sized and profiled keys instead. Feng is sending me a caps lock. I was hoping I just missed it the first time I checked, but after the fifth time of going through all the caps, I realized it wasn't there.

Thick PBTs from feng on eBay. Unfortunately it came with a stepped caps lock with the step offset, so I need to find a regular caps lock :(

Other than that, I like it!

Edit: Messaged feng and I will have a 'regular' caps lock sent to me as soon he ...

This is awesome! You found a great gal! (Tries to get wife to pose with keyboard on head...)

P.S. My wife loves my geekiness, she just wants to passively support it

-Tad

A Canon T3i. I have a T1i and it is great!

-Tad

Very nice photo! I have some blue PBTs coming today or tomorrow. Now I want that color combo!

-Tad

The Keyboard Oracle has decided: The Noppoo Choc Mini and the Keycool 84.

I believe the Choc Mini is plate mount. I have one.

-Tad

Another nice Poker!

The keys that bother me the most are on the number row when I have to use a symbol, like !. Sometimes I miss the right-shift, but I missed my arrow keys more. I'm getting used to it, and it is a great little keyboard. I have some thick, blue, blank PBTs out for delivery today ...

Nice pics!

I'm still getting used to the arrow lock. I like it a lot though! I just have to learn to use the left shift for everything I need shift for.

-Tad

I'll vouch for the Noppoo Choc Mini AND Qtan.

I've been using the Choc Mini at work for a while, but switched to my KBC Poker. The Choc is now my gaming keyboard at home.

You can also modify it to make the USB cable detachable pretty easily.

Note: Mine has Cherry Browns...

-Tad

You must be a giant! Look how the monitor dwarfs that Canon DSLR!

Oh man! That looks great! I wish he had some in black. I'd take one.

-Tad

Very nice!

I have some thick PBT blue blank keycaps on the way. I just ordered them today. I hope PBTs are as great as everyone says they are

My name is Tad, hence the alias 'tadbitnerdy'.

I've been a computer nerd since the early 90's when I was teaching my grade school teachers how to use their first computers. I've been working as a statistical programmer for almost 6 years now, and just got into keyboards a few months ago when I ...

My new work keyboard. Thanks feng!

-Tad

Decided to use the poker at work, take the Choc home, and sell my Leopold. The Leopold has become too bulky for my tastes.

-Tad

I think I'm actually going to fashion a wood case for the Poker in the same fashion I made my wrist rest

-Tad

Here is a quick question: is the build quality of the HHKB Pro 2 better than that of the KBC Poker? I plan on adding some weights, or purchasing an aluminum case for the Poker, but I just don't want to spend $300 on a keyboard that has the same or worse build quality.

My definition of build quality ...

Woah, thanks for all the responses everyone! I think I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger. If I don't like it I'll just resell it. It should shell quickly and for close to the same cost.

Right now I'm typing on my brand new Poker with Browns! The Cherry stabilizers are stiffer on this board ...

I bought these before I found some PBTs on eBay for the same price. I might still buy the PBTs, but I like this for now.
They are a little taller than the stock caps, but it doesn't bother me.

-Tad

This was waiting for me at my desk this morning...

Yeah, judging from pictures they do seem a bit awkward on the Poker. It will take some getting used to, but I'll learn my way around a gadget if it is cool enough

Thanks for the input... I'll wait for the Poker. Should be about a week or so.

-Tad

Haha, don't tell me just to go for it! Seriously, I saw your response, and immediately went to EK, added it to the cart, and hit checkout with paypal! I was barely able to stop myself from submitting!

Still would like to hold out for more opinions. However, if nobody has anymore opinions then I'll ...

Yep, helps a lot. Very good balance of pros vs. cons. Thanks! I'll look into the try before you buy switches also.

$300 for a keyboard is expensive! I already have a Choc Mini and a Leopold TKL, with a Poker on the way. But I've been bitten by the KB bug, and now that my financial situations have ...

Hello everyone!

I've been wanting to add an HHKB Pro 2 to my collection, as I want to try Topre switches, but I like keyboards that are smaller than a TKL. To the owners of said keyboard, what is your opinion? Does not have dedicated arrow keys bother you? Do the switches feel better or similar to ...
