Which type of poker 2 is it? The ones with PBT caps / no LEDs?

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #4 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 10:40:50 »

Will there be any support/warranty offered on these?

It is the no LED version, but it does have LEDs for Space Bar and CapsLock

If units are DOA they will be replaced if the hardware is faulty. If the firmware is the issue, it can be fixed.

Agreed.

Would love one with blacks but might just go for one with reds. Great news either way!

Honestly if I was going to pick one up with would be one with Blues. I have a Reds and Blacks boards yissss.

SmallFry · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 20:40:05 »

Do you know how these are to be programmed at the current time?

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 21:50:13 »

Yes

Programming Usage
Press PN + Programmed key, OR
Press Toggle(FN+Right SHIFT) to light up the spacebar left LED first. Then press the programmed key directly. If
you press PN + Programmed key at this moment, it will output the original key code.

TheBinary · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 10 May 2013, 00:21:04 »

I'm looking forward to checking out one of these as soon as you get them in!

Do you know if it will be possible to re-assign the Fn and/or Pn keys elsewhere? Specifically I would like to use the bottom right mods as arrow keys, and cannot do that to the Poker because the Fn key cannot even be seen by AutoHotKey or xkeymap.

Thanks!

Slightly off topic, but how difficult is it to swap out springs on a poker?

Not sure if Reds would be a good choice... but if I can swap in 55g springs fairly easily its a different situation

The original pokers were not plate mounted, so it was easy to switch stems/springs.

Poker 2s are plate mounted so I have to assume it will be hard to open switch housings without de-soldering first.

The Poker II looks fantastic and this is a great promo. Who doesn't want a hapster?
