Post by: calavera on Mon, 13 June 2011, 13:53:23: If I knew I could have had a poker-x for a similar/cheaper price AND FASTER compared to the group buy, I never would have committed to it. :(

Post by: daerid on Mon, 13 June 2011, 14:01:34: Well, since I'm a collector.. when my Black Poker finally arrives, then I'll decide whether to keep it or not. If not, I'll throw it up in classifieds or on ebay.

But yeah, I feel yah... had no idea the group buy would take as long as it has.

Post by: daerid on Wed, 15 June 2011, 21:23:58: Okay, Poker came in, in perfect condition (thanks manfaux!). Here's my 0.02:

The Poker with browns feels definitely different then the Filco. You can tell they're brown switches, but that's about it. Since the poker is PCB mounted, when you bottom out the keys (which I tend to do frequently), it feels much softer. Also, since there's no plate, the Poker feels much lighter weight. However, this thing is tiny. I mean I was actually a bit shocked when I took it out of the box. It's absolutely perfect for a compact travel keyboard.

I'm still getting used to the layout, but all in all, it's a great addition to my arsenal. I think I might try it at work tomorrow and see how it works out.
