Poker II Any time soon?

Seen that you are out of stock on poker II... is there any ETA on when you will have more? Looking for one with cherry browns.

Haven't heard from Vortex in a week or two (not unusual).  As soon as we hear anything, we'll let you know.

They are going to lose their 60% business to the GH60 and Ducky mini because of their failure to communicate. Calling it.

Does someone sells the GH60 already well assembled and tested?

I could buy something like that. :)

It is close to production. I'm sure several people will sell fully assembled ones but they will be expensive. The point of the GH60 is to build your own keyboard. That's the fun.

Yes I know, but I live in South America, for me will be double expensive to try to assemble it.  :'(

Heads up: I managed to snag a Poker II with Browns on it. Mine was the international version so it came with a blank space bar in addition to an English manual. I ordered on Thursday, arrived to me on Friday.

I could never be more happy.

Over here in Malaysia, one vendor I know have a few Browns Poker 2 for sale. They ship international. The name is Heavy Arm - Google the name. I'll get you take links later if you need to.

Cool, I have been wanting to get one without LEDs. Do you have any kind of idea of when you might get them in?

If it is the same as past shipments, we'll receive all 4 main switch types.

Hopefully soon. We're waiting to hear back from Vortex on any updates.

Do you guys plan on re-stocking your Vortex cases (that fit Filcos) any time soon?

So.. could you clarify the difference between KBT and Vortex? The Poker 2 that I have looked a lot like the KBT Oni. KBT Oni is made in Taiwan but Poker is made in China. Both are sometimes called Vortex interchangeably. I am confused.

KBTalking manufactures Vortex's lines. So technically, whether a keyboard is Vortex or KBT, they are all KBTalking.

We do have these atm:

+1. Been waiting here as well. I hate backlit keyboards and abs caps so I figured it is worth waiting for new stock to come in :P

That's odd. When our site does go down, which has been once in the last 2 years, we get 100 emails scared to death that we're closing up shop or something. No emails lately...

Try doing the typical clear history & cookies, restart comp, etc.

Should of noted the PBT version.  Hopefully they do not stop producing the keyboard, unless a Poker III is coming which I would be interested in seeing the layout.
