Why not post before and after shots?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yea, all white. I've changed black caps and whites back and forth almost everyday. :-\ All white now seems like porn, it's perfect without any extra caps. And now I got, for change, pink cable. Damn, gotta admit I think I found a perfect appearance to the Poker. :-* Maybe all white PBT's could be a upgrade but otherwise it's perfect. ;D I'd take it to bed next to me but I'm scared I'd break it. :))

I love this keyboard  :p
In the end.. the keyboard's most grand form of existence is as an ethereal bridge between man and machine..    Each depression of the keys, evanescent.. Our transitory thoughts crashing into the web, carving canyons through the internet wasteland such that life may once again flourish..

The old-ish Korean PCB that supports the poker/pure layout. Long spacebar is done with a custom plate and a plate mount stabilizer from an old WYSE board.

I tried to get used to it and it's 50/50 which one is better. I use space with other fingers too and then it's a miss if it's flipped. But I somehow can use just thumb on the spacebar. Maybe I should try to flip it again, just for fun  :rolleyes:

Stock MX Clears for now. The plate allows for switch top removal so I might do a spring swap and something with lube if I can find the motivation.

Switch with removable top sounds so handy in terms of customization.

Just added blue LED's to mine :D sadly removed a soldering pad but I ended up just making a pattern of missing leds so it wasn't obvious there was just one missing and honestly you cant even tell (as long as I continue to use thick PBT non led trans (or whatever the keys that have a window for the backlight are called)




It's in a Blue Tex Aluminum case, I also have an Acrylic one on the way from Massdrop and was going to try to buy some led strips to put in the case to make it glow from within but wasn't sure how I would achieve that.

As I'm getting my Poker II soon I was wondering what you meant by switch top removal. Could you explain?

He means that the plate allow to open the switch so he can mod the switch (changing spring/stem/lubing ...). But you can't do that on a stock pokerII.

Pulse SA finally arrived
(the underscore key was upside down when i took this :v)
by the way, do you guys think this looks okay with the plate exposed?
I think it is way better with the plate expose than it is with the stock case.
What switches do you have on it?

Stock MX Clears for now. The plate allows for switch top removal so I might do a spring swap and something with lube if I can find the motivation.

As I'm getting my Poker II soon I was wondering what you meant by switch top removal. Could you explain?
But really nice looking Pokers here! Love those pics!
A switch is like a little box that contains the plunger and a spring. This box can be open in half when you pull off little grips on the left and right side. This is how you can access the spring and change it. However depending on how the switches were mounted it will not be that easy. There are 2 way to mount a switch: right on the PCB or on a plate that will be above the PCB. In the first case you can easily open the switch housing. However in the second case you need to desolder the switch from the PCB because the plate prevent you from opening the switch housing. So you need to desolder and pull the plate from the bottom to get the switch out and open it. The last case is how switches are mounted on the stock Poker II but it exists plate that allow you to do it without desoldering.

For those that have better knowledge than I do, is that correct?

Haha well I guess I'm in luck because QFR's are back in stock so I grabbed one for $73. No poker for me, for now...
