imo the poker 2 has several key drawbacks:
The primary one being the inability to reprogram the primary layer
- even if you argue toggling the secondary layer on as primary. fn/pn buttons are not readily moved
- an online configurator or firmware customization software
Bluetooth comes a strong second for me.
- getting rid of the damn cable and connecting to our tablets and smart phones is another game changer.
Trackpoint and arrow keys are completely unnecessary features, especially if there is the ability program an fn key on either side of the space bar.
The world doesn't need another individually lit rgb keyboard but an Alps options in key switches would be another strong contender to an end game keyboard.
Switch choice:
The cherry keys are spectacular for their quality control and I frankly doubt Matias can match the Germans level of care but they are also pretty noisy for a office environment (even the browns) so a choice would be nice and the Matias Quiet switches are on my short list to try. The Topre are also known for their quality but I have to admit that I am tired of the rubber dome feel no matter how high the quality. Nonetheless the option would create a stir in the community as HHKB has many limitations that the Topre snobs would likely be happy to give up if they had a nice alternative.
I agree the poker 2 (and all other 60%) needs a fully programmable layer, Fn key included.
The trackpoint is a great, great feature though! Prevents you from moving your hands away from the homerow even more.
Not really found of the pure pro layout choice. Poker is great for its standard keys.
A fully programmable poker 2 with a trackpoint would be perfect!
