Yeah, the naming is definitely awkward but it's too late since everyone's calling it Poker X now. I don't really care about names though as long as the keyboard meets my expectations. The price was my first disappointment, the ABS keycaps was second. The layout might turn out to be a disappointment as well. But we'll see. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong once I get my keyboard in 2041.

People in Korea have been receiving Poker X keyboards already. So unfair, they can just buy whenever they want and they'll get it within a few days.

I think of the fireplace instrument that is used to rearrange burning logs and sometimes to fend off burglars.

I'm there with you. I completely missed the card game definition at first. And the poking (verb) meaning failed when I saw it wasn't limited to only Cherry blacks.

Yes, but they don't APPRECIATE them as much as we do for this exact reason

prava · « **Reply #305 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 18:09:20 »

Only 4 people did pay for the Poker? The European list seems to be much more successful...which is not weird at all because in Europe we have to expend and arm and a leg to get anything mechanical. The cheapest mechanical keyboard in thekeyco goes for 130€, no wonders why sixty will be so busy sending keyboards all around europe XD

Not really. I've been reading up on the poker x owners experiences and the more I read the more I realize the poker's been hyped up too much. I'm really getting the poker solely for it's compact size.

On the other hand, they are spoiled with some very awesome custom keyboards so they probably have higher expectations and standards. Their latest custom keyboard run left overs sold out in less than 3 minutes. lol

I think we actually faired better then the European order. We had 80 keyboards pre-ordered and 20 PBT key sets.

BaconKnight · « **Reply #311 on:** Fri, 15 April 2011, 21:56:35 »

Does anyone know how high the keyboard tilts up? How does it compare to the Filco/Leopold's height? I know it doesn't have any stand up feet so it's stuck at what it is. I'm the type of person that has to have his keyboards tilted up with the feet, for some reason, can't stand typing on a "flat" keyboard.

stupefaction · « **Reply #312 on:** Sat, 16 April 2011, 02:05:28 »

According to an earlier post on this subject, the keyboard is pitched such that the top row of keys is half an inch higher than the first row. Personally I prefer zero-pitch keyboards, but what the heck.

BaconKnight · « **Reply #313 on:** Sat, 16 April 2011, 02:21:40 »

Wow, thanks for the link, that's super informative. Hmmm, this might push me towards getting one now as I really like the super small form factor. Wish there were more reviews out there in addition to the deskthority ones.

stupefaction · « **Reply #314 on:** Sat, 16 April 2011, 06:37:33 »

I'm going to review the Poker after mine arrives. I suspect many others in the group buy will be doing the same, so you can look forward to a rash of reviews.

I dont think iMav has received any keyboards himself yet.

if anyone wants a poker red, i may be buying a filco linear-r from panda, so i'd be willing to give my preordered poker red spot out to someone else, send me a pm

ps. i ordered a red switch and a set of caps, both preorder spots are up for grabs if i get the filco from panda, assuming imav is okay refunding my paypal and dealing with some more processing (sorry imav)

It's okay. I hope you guys like them, they look awesome. I just bought a Tenkeyless Linear-R so I probably won't be picking one of these up.

And now the browns are sold out. So much for having some extras on hand.

There are a few blacks left.

If anybody is interested in taking my place in the preorder for a brown, let me know. I've decided that this form factor is just a bit too small for me and went with a Choc Mini.

Ditto for a brown for me. If anyone has second thoughts, I'd be happy to take his place! Also for the PBT keys.

RedCloudFuneral · « **Reply #345 on:** Sun, 01 May 2011, 23:26:44 »

If anyone has any questions on these you can ask me, I'm using a cherry red poker right now. I'm not really sure I like it much, I miss my arrow keys, and the cherry reds are a little too light, completely eliminated my hand fatigue, but I often find myself walking sideways a lot when gaming.(from accidently hitting A or D, not a fault of the board.)

reaper · « **Reply #346 on:** Sun, 01 May 2011, 23:37:34 »

^ I know, right. I have a Filco reds and it requires finesse when navigating those WASD keys.

calavera · « **Reply #347 on:** Mon, 02 May 2011, 01:14:05 »

I came in here hoping to see updates on the poker orders and leave in disappointment.

At least Bin Laden is dead so that's good news.

mrsone · « **Reply #348 on:** Mon, 02 May 2011, 02:39:01 »

I would love a spring in between the black and red. Maybe a 55g actuation point. I may try modding my Noppoo Choc Mini with the blue springs in the black stems.

gilgam · « **Reply #349 on:** Mon, 02 May 2011, 16:10:22 »

done this

it is said, if i'm not wrong, to be ghetto red, they are lighter than black for me and quite fine.

I placed the black spring in blue switches and it's .... surprising.
