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

I haven't heard of anyone trying that yet. I would think it would be as close to a BS key as you can get. Have you tried a Buckling Spring before? If so, how does it compare?

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

(Registered here just to post this.)

I've preordered a brown with extra keys and have second thoughts. I'll PM with iMav and PM you after.

Yes this is what i thought

It must have been done, but i've never seen any feedback too.

Never tested a BS, i wanted to get an unicomp but shipping and taxes from USA to europe are hiigh, for a keyboard i may not like ...

I'll try that black/blue keyboard for a while and see.

Anyone want my reds + 1 set of keycaps preorder?

if so how would you want to do this imav?

Could i just request a refund and let imav take care of the new order?

ricercar · « **Reply #354 on:** Tue, 03 May 2011, 15:25:15 »

iMav requests that changes to preorders be handled by the buyers (not by iMav refunds).

The new buyer pays the pre-ordering person and the preordering person sends new shipping information to iMav.

Okay sounds good, if anyone wants the reds keyboard slot or the extra set of caps, please pm me, would prefer to keep them together

I'm pumped. Any news?

scotchguy · « **Reply #357 on:** Wed, 04 May 2011, 10:44:45 »

I hate to be "that guy" - but I am starting to get ancey!

So, any update? Do we have an ETA?

I am leaving for a trip at the end of the month and I have my fingers crossed that they will shipped in time for the 8hr flight.

sealcouch · « **Reply #358 on:** Wed, 04 May 2011, 11:23:01 »

No worries. I am also that guy.

I'd like to toss in my membership to "That Guy" club. I'm surprised that this is taking so long.

ashort · « **Reply #361 on:** Wed, 04 May 2011, 21:29:19 »

I'm as impatient as anyone, but the original expectation was 6-8 weeks and it hasn't been quite 5 weeks yet. I believe iMav said that the order for reds could be as far out as 12 weeks, and they might just ship all of them together.

To quote Inigo Montoya, "I hate uh waiting..."

iMav · « **Reply #363 on:** Thu, 05 May 2011, 10:09:13 »

Latest update...

Production of our order will begin on Monday. Shipment to me should be early June.

Thank you for the information iMav, I appreciate the prompt response. Even though I was truly hoping for mine(er..ours) to come in earlier -- sometimes just having a time frame helps. I would request if you could put the the current expected schedule and any further updates in the OP. I know it makes me sound lazy, but being able to go to the first page helps cut out rumors and such.

Thanks again!

June??? seriously? that REALLY sucks. i know they're in production as they're on ebay. we shouldn't have to wait that long.

Take your one post and scram.

Corland · « **Reply #369 on:** Thu, 05 May 2011, 16:33:47 »

As one of the folks who ordered a Red board, would the production of ours also be next week, or are the Reds happening later?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #370 on:** Thu, 05 May 2011, 20:22:31 »

i'm not looking to make trouble. i'm just frustrated. i'm not the only one thats disappointed on the delay. since i've seen the poker on ebay for a few weeks i had hoped it was on its way already.

Did you really participate in the Poker group buy before posting, even once, in any forum?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #372 on:** Thu, 05 May 2011, 20:53:56 »

yes i did in fact. i saw a reviews on the poker on overclock and deskthority, and saw that geekhack was handling us distribution, found my way here and put down for a blue.

This man is a true gentleman. He's excited about the keyboard. He's chill with waiting. What a champ.

iMav · « **Reply #376 on:** Fri, 06 May 2011, 08:35:26 »

All the switch types for our order are starting together from what I have been told. Vortex made no distinction between switch types when he said they would ship early June. So, I anticipate them all be completed and shipping at the same time.

Original info on shipping lead time was discussed in this thread.

daerid · « **Reply #377 on:** Sat, 07 May 2011, 13:38:35 »

After much deliberation, I have decided to place my pre-order for a Brown up for sale. I was going to use it for my laptop, but I recently sold my laptop, so I don't really have a place for this anymore, and I'd prefer a brown tenkeyless over the poker.

Will also post in Classifieds.

Tempy · « **Reply #378 on:** Sat, 07 May 2011, 18:07:28 »

it seems like a lot of preorders are looking to sell their preorder u.u, i hope someone wants my reds spot soon

You guys are getting a great keyboard at a great price; it's worth the wait.

I'm still waiting for a Poker browns from iMav but I just got one with reds from heedpantsnow... typing on it right now, as a matter of fact. One of the best keyboards so far IF you like smaller form factor (HHKB, Choppoo Mini, etc).

RedCloudFuneral · « **Reply #386 on:** Mon, 09 May 2011, 23:59:20 »

I got a Poker with Reds and I hate it. I'm too heavy handed. I keep hitting keys by accident, and I don't like the small form factor as much as I thought I would. Think I'd have any luck in the classifieds? A lot of people seem to be selling their red pre-orders.

reaper · « **Reply #387 on:** Tue, 10 May 2011, 00:07:59 »

^ Try both classifieds here and over at OCN since you have an account there. Someones bound to pick it up.

noodles256 · « **Reply #388 on:** Tue, 10 May 2011, 00:17:44 »

alright thanks, I don't think I got enough rep to post on OCN though, so I'll try here.

Sorry. I kind of read that as it is going to.be shipped to us in early june. I am bad about tracking packages. It's like a disease.

Hi, anyone know where to get the engraved poker keycaps? They're like the ones that sixty received and did a review on them.

curzen · « **Reply #396 on:** Wed, 18 May 2011, 15:43:44 »

I was wondering the same, the guy selling Pokers on ebay had the following to say on the matter: There are no independent PBT black engraved available in the market.
But I know from the supplier that there are PBT engraved version of KBC Poker version available within this month.

Index · « **Reply #397 on:** Wed, 18 May 2011, 16:57:10 »

Oh man, I just placed my order for a Poker MX Brown too. =/

Oh well, maybe I could convince some geekhacker to sell/trade theirs to me when the supplier releases them.

curzen · « **Reply #398 on:** Wed, 18 May 2011, 16:58:59 »

I would expect that if the engraved keycaps are produced at all they'll be available on their own sooner or later.

Actually, those that ordered PBT sets through this group buy will be getting the engraved ones.
