Either a Poker or a Filco TKL with black or green or clear switches with Round 3 keycaps. :)

If I could start over, I'd buy a topre 45g uniform, and an IBM Model F AT, then leave this forum forever

No, go for GH60. Poker has some annoying limitations. Poker was my 2nd MX board after a G80-3000. While I loved it while I had Poker, and it was the best choice at the time, if GH60 existed then I would absolutely have skipped it.



Thanks a ton for the info. I checked out the threads about the board and it looks fantastic. Is the group buy over? Would I have to pick one up, second hand?

Leo or Filco TKL with Greens and one tactile Grey spacebar at home.  Model M at work where I need the 10-key.  PBT on every key.

I like keyboards and case modding.  Everything about a computer should be silent -- except the KEYBOARD!

I've actually done a lot of reading prior to buying stuff... and I successfully sold my Storm Trigger (which I had absolutely no problems with, except the large size).  Pretty happy with all of my keyboard decisions so far, really.  Ideally, I'd like one of the new Ducky Shine IIIs in aluminum cases for my second keyboard, but modding my incoming Filco will be fun!

And I'm very happy to have chosen Browns for my first switch, because having tried a lot of other colors now, Brown remains my favorite.

No regrets. Can't know if you like something without trying it out in the first place.

End result would be my ergodox with 55g lubed clears, brown mods, red thumb buttons, which is exactly what I'm using now. Next ergodox would be ultra light browns. Would be nice if there was ever a topre ergodox. The custom layout is infinitely more important than the switch type to me.

I'd probably do everything the same way again. 60%, Lubed Ergo Clears, Thick PBT, Aluminum case :)

Edit - Oh yeah and Clack!! ;)

Nevermind. Looks like I just missed the group buy. :(
