[IC] ISO Poker 3/Pok3r 60% Keyboard - Closed

[FoC_Tow]

The new placement of the arrow keys is the worst decision I think they could've made.

The fact that the FN position is also on the right doesn't even make it comfortable to use with 2 hands... Real shame!

I believe using the DIP switches, you can swap the PN and FN buttons around. LED versions will be available, but not likely until first batch is sold.

FYI there can be an MX green version if I can get 60+ orders for it.

You'd still have your left arm crossing your body though :/

Maybe it will also have a dip switch for alternative Fn options like the KBP V60.
V60 had many options to use for example caps lock as an Fn afaik!

If something like that is possible the arrow key position doesn't seem bad to me personally at all as you can comfortably use them right handed while staying on home row.

Edit: Also all of the symbols on the third layer of the number row are non standard but that might actually be done on purpose I guess.
For example swiveled brackets {} would usually be on 8 & 9 and square brackets [] would be on 5 & 6...

Are you sure? I've been using de layout my entire life and I've always had those brackets like in the picture. The only difference I can see are the y and z key. (I guess they just forgot to switch those for the picture.)

Whoops, I just double checked and your right Prollgurke it is the standard way!

Since I switched to ansi I've only been using Iso on my macbook, so this is what I was referencing too.
Haven't used Iso boards for a while so I totally forgot its the Macbook which is non standard in this case...

Is it possible to get blank keycaps in the first round too?
I doubt there will ever be keycaps in a  swiss layout, so I will have to stick with blank keycaps
If its not possible i will have to live with a DE layout ( clear switches )

This would be so nice...
ISO users reunite!

[Giorgio]

is the keycap profile OEM or CHERRY?

[Dihedral]

AFAIK OEM.

EDIT: Disclaimer - this is kinda an educated guess.

Only some Leopolds come with stock non-OEM key caps. Of course Cherry boards come with Cherry profile key caps.

I missed the sale for the vortex cherry pbt

[NorrisB]

Would like a UK Layout with MX Clears.

Programming Instruction

Note:
.. big sigh  POK3R still not main layer programmable. 
Waited, hoped.. oh well.

The POK3R built in 4-layers. The default layer can not be programmed. Only layer 2~layer 4 can be. FN + R_ctrl, M,<,> and ? keys are fixed can not be programmed.
Step 1. Choose the layer (FN+<,> or ? key) which you want to programming.
Step 2. Press FN + Right CTRL to enter the programming mode (Spacebar right LED steadily lit)
Step 3. Press the key you want to program (Spacebar right LED flashing)
Step 4. Key in the programming content and then press PN (Spacebar right LED steadily lit again)
Step 5. Repeat step 2 and step 3 to program other keys.
Step 6. Press FN + Right CTRL to exit programming mode ( Spacebar right LED off)

This is vaporware.

This is vaporware.

What do you mean? It certainly exists:

Can it remember what layer was active across reboots? I think a non-programmable main layer wouldn't be such a problem then.

I would ask them by myself, but I've already messaged them three times in one day

Yeah, it is a prototype, that does not mean the keyboard is a "product" yet, ready to be sold.

I think you're right in that these models are different from the ones that actually will be sold.

At least, this video review by Rhinofeed shows a Pok3r with mounting holes for LEDs and pre-soldered resistors, but QWERTim confirmed that the released model won't allow for that.

EDIT: Added a screenshot

I'm interested in Nordic layout with mx brown.

[opendealer]

I would like a UK Layout with MX Clears, too. I'm located in the United States, so I'm not sure how much the shipping would be. I've just checked the Corus Keyboards website and they charge $45 to ship it to the USA. They have no ISO layout keyboards in the US warehouse.

[Somberlain]

UK with MX clears for me too.

[leechbook]

Are we still expecting the keyboards to ship next month?

Who knows. The ANSI version has been delayed as well.

[againer]

Massdrop has started a drop  with poker3  so i hope  the iso version will be ready next month too.
Are there any new informations?
about the price, when we can preorder the board when it will be shipped?

Is there a chance, that we can buy a carrying case and some blank (thick white pbt) keycaps with the board together, so that we europen ppl dont have to make multiple international orders?

+1 here

Those that are hunting for ISO version of the Pok3r can check here: http://corus-kb.com/27-pok3r-

Any news on backlit version in the future? Really want with LEDs, but if none will be released I'd like to pre-order non-backlit right away.

[QWERTim]

Hi Everyone

Unfortunately I'm not able to run this interest check for pre-orders anymore due to logistical issues that need solving first. Rest assured once this is fixed, we will be able to fulfill any orders received.

If you are still looking to purchase a Pok3r, I believe there is a site, which someone has already linked to, which should stock them when launched.

I'll try and keep everyone updated with Pok3r news!
