These are in the process of going out now. I've got 20 more boxed up and ready to go to the post office. Those will be dropped off this morning and I will grab more Priority boxes.

Once all the USPS-shipped orders that have been paid for have shipped, I'll work on the other shipping options for those folks that want.

I'll write a nice review later, but FWIW: I don't think the KBC Poker w/browns is anything more than I expected it to be, but it isn't anything less either. Expectations met, 100%.

Except that CAPS LOCK LED, WHOA. =-D

A nice feature I wasn't counting on: It sits perfectly over the touchpad of my T510 laptop and presses no keys on the laptop.

Doesn't that count as something more than what you expected???

Oh, hey. Look at that.

I never realized the reddish board underneath the keys. That color combo is pretty awesome.

Nope, because I had no expectations concerning that. =-D

About the red PCB, some pictures really show it standing out alot, I don't notice mine all that much. Maybe it's my lighting.

I think I just realized that the Suit that is stamped on the box correlates to the switch color, right? Mine are browns, so I have a brown club stamped on the box.

Say what? You're not making sense. If I have no expectations concerning ice cream, yet I find a banana split sitting on my desk, then it's something more than I expected. Right? Right.

Not using an ALPS based board for anything at the moment, and no plans to. If you wanna swap it with a cherry MX cap, that's alright too! I've got 2 browns and one black in the home office right now that might benefit from a Geekhack key.

pm_ · « **Reply #762 on:** Fri, 05 August 2011, 22:33:57 »

iMav, could you please give me a status update on my pokers?

I sent you a PM on Monday or Tuesday with my shipping info, although I admittedly did not format it as requested (I only read part of the email before sending the PM).

I wanted to know if USPS provides insurance and tracking numbers, in which case, I would be ok with USPS. If not, then I would probably prefer UPS, as it should be <$10 and I had sent an extra $10 or so with my original payment to cover shipping.

Just wanted to follow up since I haven't seen a response yet.

iMav · « **Reply #763 on:** Fri, 05 August 2011, 22:41:46 »

Update is here.USPS has tracking and delivery confirmation. Insurance is extra.

Yeah, I saw that, but didn't see an attachment that had a user list or anything similar, so I'm not sure if mine was included since I had included a few questions about shipping in my PM.

Anyway, unless it's shipped already, I'm guessing the extra $10 I sent with the original payment probably covers USPS shipping w/insurance to IL, so I'm fine with that.

Thanks!

For everyone that has paid the shipping funds request through paypal, your keyboards are in the mail.

For those that pre-paid (or used other available funds to pay) shipping, your keyboards are in the mail as well.

For those that wish to get estimates for other carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc), here are the weights:

1 Poker keyboard - 1 lb 8 oz
1 PBT set - 5 oz
typical box - 8 oz

Half the orders are still pending shipping resolution.

scotchguy · « **Reply #776 on:** Mon, 08 August 2011, 12:59:34 »

Thanks for the update iMav, I believe everyone is getting a bit antsy. I know I am about to do the awkward "gotta-pee-dance" now that I know mine is in the mail.

iMav · « **Reply #777 on:** Mon, 08 August 2011, 13:04:50 »

The easiest way to look up tracking numbers is to PM me your real name (assuming your provided it with your address).

Many of us (including iMav) have been waiting since March. A few more days isn't a big deal, and I know iMav's on top of it.

I got's my poker today yo~~ yay!!

Everything is great except the spacebar way too stiff. Turns out it has a green switch. wtf?

I had to take pics just because this has been such a long wait. Thanks again for everything iMav.

What a pleasant surprise.

This new batch of Pokers have better fonts and printing.

Blues ftw

**** yeah.

comparison. Love the coarse texture.

My two pokers. Bottom one is red switches with cherry corps double shots and group buy 3's clears.

Less then 20 keyboards left to ship out. Lots of motivated folks today taking care of shipping.

I'll get the tracking numbers for the folks that requested them tomorrow.

I've got one set of PBTs and I like them quite a bit.

daerid · « **Reply #790 on:** Mon, 08 August 2011, 22:56:44 »

I'm actually really excited to get the one from the group buy. I didn't really like the Poker with Reds, but I think I might like it with blacks (on blacks right now)

jaynoon · « **Reply #791 on:** Mon, 08 August 2011, 23:53:17 »

Typing on my brand new Poker w/ Reds. Thanks iMav!

Definitely going to take some getting used to the fn layout, and I haven't bothered to figure out the dip switches yet. Build/feel of the board is great though, and thanks for the extra GH key!

I have a brown in the box too, just spending some time getting to know these red switches before I bring out what should feel more familiar to me, although my brown board is plate-mounted so I figure this will be a little different.

Stoked!

Since the LED is on the switch, it project back is and hardly noticeable...like this:
