Author Topic: Poker keyboard ROUND TWO interest check. (Read 17987 times)

iMav · « **on:** Fri, 15 July 2011, 01:40:43 »

Now that we are actually receiving the keyboards from the first order, I feel comfortable now gauging interest for a second order.

Pricing for the Poker 60% (40%) keyboard is as follows:

$90 - MX-Blue
$95 - MX-Brown
$95 - MX-Black
$99 - MX-Red

These will be black with black ABS keys (with white lettering). There is also a separate set of replacement PBT keys available for sale at $30 each.

NOTE: this pricing does not including shipping costs from my location to you. You pay actual shipping costs (you pick delivery method) from Wisconsin, USA. This will also include cost for a box to pack your keyboard in. Stay tuned in the first order thread for the cost of those.

So, all I really need to know now is if you are interested and, if so, what and how many. If there is sufficient demand, I will start another pre-order.Now back to packing orders for the Round 3 double shot group buy........

i am from europe, but is there any response due the fact the groupbuy last so long?
why we had to wait so long although the boards on ebay and elswhere were sold long before?

is there any information from the seller about this?
will he ship faster this time?

iMav · « **Reply #2 on:** Fri, 15 July 2011, 07:51:36 »

I know that they manufactured our order on demand...so we had to wait for that process. I will follow up to see if they actually have stock to sell us now.

daerid · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 15 July 2011, 11:19:14 »

For this group buy I'd probably be interested in:

1x Poker w/ Blues
3x PBT keycap sets

What time frame were you thinking of placing the order with KBC?

I would place the order as soon as I have a reasonable number of keyboards to order.

imsto told me that it's a mod by an enthusiast (painted) so therefore, not from KBC which is too bad because I'd like a set also.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #13 on:** Sat, 16 July 2011, 01:05:25 »

A one off explains a lot. Too bad, I bet those would sell like hotcakes.

I normally hate colored keys. However, I'd snatch up 3 of those sets in a damn heartbeat

The sooner I get a hard number the sooner we can start collecting payments for the order.

ashort · « **Reply #18 on:** Sun, 17 July 2011, 08:03:34 »

I'm going to tentatively be "in" for another round. Maybe just for keycaps, but maybe another Poker too. I use my first board for a week or so, first.

daerid · « **Reply #19 on:** Sun, 17 July 2011, 13:44:39 »

It really depends on the deadline for payment. My finances are a little tight at the moment, but if it's a few weeks out, I'll put in my order for sure.

Realistically, pre-orders will probably be go through the end of august to achieve a reasonable number of orders.

daerid · « **Reply #22 on:** Mon, 18 July 2011, 15:07:35 »

For sure then. Count me in:

1x blue
2x PBT caps

ladiesman2927 · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 18 July 2011, 16:21:51 »

I'm very interested and am a serious buyer

1x red
1x pbt caps

Are the pbt caps the black on black engraved? Or are they the blacks with gold lettering?

Edit: Just to make sure, cherry red springs are the same as the brown springs, right? So I can mod this board to ergo clear if I wanted to do so?

DaemonRaccoon · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 18 July 2011, 20:05:01 »

can kbc make the keyboards with the pbt key caps already on them? i know it would cost more but it should cost less than a poker w/ abs + pbt.

KBC already offers to ship NIB Pokers with a laser PBT cap set, check my review thread for pics.

daerid · « **Reply #28 on:** Tue, 19 July 2011, 01:05:13 »

You can also get them from either qtan or weipm in the Classifieds / Group Buy forums.

However... I want engraved Poker PBT caps! :Cry:

I'd like a set of PBT keycaps, particularly in white, if they're available. If they're not, then black

iMav · « **Reply #31 on:** Tue, 19 July 2011, 07:59:46 »

These will be black, engraved key caps. Since there appears to be sufficient interest, I'll start up another group buy thread today or tomorrow.

Brodie337 · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 19 July 2011, 08:21:40 »

Do the engraved set also have the function layer marked?

Yes they have the function layer engraved as well. (see the pics posted in the first group buy)

I'd be in for a brown today w/ black engraved caps. End of August though... I'm a bit impatient. I'll see how it goes.

It would be nice to receive the first order and spend a couple weeks with it so I know how many more I want to buy.

Agreed. When I started this thread, I thought the keyboards would be arriving in the next day or two...not stuck in customs hell. If we do a second group buy, it won't officially start until the first one is fully completed and delivered.

U.S custom entry a crazy month! They work harder because the hot weather? Inspection rate bump up, although it would let you pass but takes so long!

Are the engraved PBT keys black only??

If there by any chance are color options I would love Red keys

hawkwind · « **Reply #45 on:** Tue, 26 July 2011, 00:13:50 »

Does the engraved keyset have a windowed capslock? (I hope not...)

daerid · « **Reply #46 on:** Tue, 26 July 2011, 00:27:50 »

I'll probably tack on a 3rd set of the PBT keys. I'm pretty much going full on PBT on all my boards that I can. I can't stand ABS under my fingertips any more.

I'm just so used to the way PBT reacts and resonates. Not to mention the finish and how it holds up and actually seems to resist any oils that might be on my fingertips.

Sort of like this without the engraving:

+1 for this idea!

If blank white PBT keys w/ no LED windows is an option, I'd buy one from this group buy for sure.

sordna · « **Reply #58 on:** Wed, 17 August 2011, 19:07:28 »

iMav, if you have a contact at KBC can you ask if they can improve the escape lock behavior?
There's another post complaining about the inability to produce the tilde (when using Fn) in escape lock mode. I asked you this before, but you just made fun of my question :-(

iMav · « **Reply #59 on:** Wed, 17 August 2011, 19:41:30 »

I don't have that level of influence with KBC.

For those that want blanks, we should be able to order those as well...I will update the pre-order thread.

aegrotatio · « **Reply #60 on:** Thu, 18 August 2011, 21:55:19 »

Oh, my God. This is the perfect layout just as I drew it up in my keyboard fantasy thread. The DIP switches to re-assign the keys (like FN for us HHKB users) are a very thoughtful touch.

I would like to get in on the next round with a Cherry Brown switch. I'd have to think about the keycaps though, since I don't look at them when I type I cannot say that I have an honest preference.

Thanks, iMav!!

**EDIT** Silly me. My order has been sent!!
