whats 60% and 40%?

It is referred to as either a 60% or a 40% keyboard.  It has 60% of the the keys that a "normal" keyboard has (or "missing" 40% of the keys).

@DanGWanG: "iMav - When would the expected shipment date be?"

@krazymunky: "what would be the ETA for the keyboard? "

@sdnnvs: "Hello, is there a specific date for submission of keyboards? Are there any restrictions for shipping to Brazil? Thanks."

Some estimate of ETA?

I'll be placing the order at the end of the month.  Approximately 6-8 weeks for KBC in Taiwan to produce the keyboards (to order)...12-14 weeks for the Cherry MX reds.

Once I receive them, they will be shipped out to you. (same as what sixty is doing for the EU folks)

Note, I will be ordering more then what is pre-ordered here...so there should be additional ones for sale.  But I can't guarantee what switches I'll have in stock.  And pre-orders will certainly take precedence for order fulfillment.

Will the entire order be shipped to you at once?  My real question is:  Will the delay of the red cherry boards become the delay for all?

If so...mid to late July timeframe for delivery, yes?

iMav, maybe someone asked this already, but I don't want to go through 8 pages of comments...will you be testing them before you send them out?

Also, although you may have extras, we do have until the end of the month to order then, right?  

I just started giving this some thought, as I would like something a bit smaller than a 10keyless.  :)

Yes, you have till the end of the month.  

I will test them before sending them to you (and exchange for a working 'board if there are any issues).

Why is it called a "Poker" keyboard? Does it have anything have to do with poker - or is it just a regular keyboard?

Read the thread, webwit, and sixty's reviews. I have more questions:

1.  Most important, I need an idea of how the profile of this board on the desk, since it does not have legs.  I always use legs and need the rear of the keyboard to be a good bit higher than the front.  I guess I'm either requesting measurements, comparison pics, or a very definitive opinion. For example, the Ducky 10keyless I'm using with legs, the front row of keys is about 1 3/16ths an inch off the desk, and the number row is about 1 13/16ths an inch of the desk (without legs, it's 1 3/16ths front to 1 8/16ths an inch in the rear, which is too low for me).  So a height measurement of the first row of keys and the last row of keys would probably work.

2. Are these PCB or plate mounted?  The review samples are PCB mounted, but there are ordering options in the PDF for plate or PCB mounted, and it doesn't state in the first post.  I'd like to be clear.  :)

3.  Could someone please clarify regarding the dip switches:

SW 1 ON: Lock left windows key
SW 2 ON: Windows_L, ALT_L swap position                (Does _L refer to the left Windows and ALT keys? Logic says yes, but want to be clear...)
SW 3 ON: Caps, Ctrl_L swap position
SW 4 ON: Windows_L becomes FN_L                (This would change the left Windows key to be the FN key, right?  Does the right FN key become a Windows key, or stay an FN key?)
SW 2 and SW 4 are ON: (In this case, does the Left Alt key become the FN key?)

Thanks a bunch!

Good question, one I'd like clarified as well. I was under the assumption that only PCB-mounted was available.

The WASD mod is piss easy, the board already has all the solder spots you need. Dump in some leds, connect the circuit to one of the other existing LEDs (I picked the arrow-lock ones) and enjoy!

The keycaps are prototypes from clickclack. They are not yet available. Apparently they are harder to make than even triple shot.

Also these are all PCB mounted. The document is the actual info from the OEM that makes the keyboard. It only lists possible order options, but KBC did not pick those as of now.

Also some stills of the mod:

It's pretty. If it was usb nkro I'd be buying one, but right now I'm really inbetween. Right now I'm doing my best to switch to a right handed keyboard and left handed mouse as it seems like it'd treat me better. (I'm left handed)

NKRO is overrated.  6KRO over USB is good enough.


Yeah I already have 6nkro over usb with cherry browns. Hard to buy a new board without real reason to justify it.

It is unclear to me if the PBT caps and ABS caps have different printing on them.  Do they?

I believe that, regarding this order, they are both lasered. But I could be wrong.

I plan to submit the order at the end of the month.  There will be other opportunities to order if there is additional interest.  But I would say it is probably best to get in on this initial order if you want to see one this summer.  :)
