Post by: .XL on Wed, 13 April 2011, 22:37:16: I would be all over this board if it was plate mounted!! But maybe that's better...I could desolder the switches easier and put clears in. I do want that aluminum casing, though, whenever that's out!

Post by: zaerst on Wed, 13 April 2011, 22:52:26: I'm glad it's not plate mounted. I plan to do exactly that, switch out blacks for clears.

Did you increase the price on the Browns by $10?

Post by: aming on Thu, 14 April 2011, 02:16:08: yes... I have marked the price wrongly before. The coming price of the brown is higher than the blue and black.

They're on eBay (http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=poker+keyboard), and he's got them in stock. You'd receive it within 5-7 days of ordering depending where you are.

Post by: noodles256 on Thu, 14 April 2011, 14:36:38: from what I read on feedback. Aming is really good about shipping.

If you have doubts, I wouldn't worry about it and just order.

Post by: .XL on Fri, 15 April 2011, 09:26:15: May I suggest that anyone that has bought from him put a review up in the review section? This way any Geekhackers that have reservations about buying from Hong Kong have references.

Post by: AndrewZorn on Fri, 15 April 2011, 22:48:04: This is what I get for not being here more often.

So recently I've been on my Filco Tenkeyless Blue exclusively.
As much as I like the HHKB layout, I don't see going back to it full-time. It will join Colemak and reverse motorcycle shifting in the "things I wish everyone used so I don't have to endure the pain of switching back and forth" group.

Now I find myself debating selling my HHKB and buying one of these in Red for $135 shipped.

I like the pre-production looks, but the retail looks nowhere near as good. ABS, [pad-printed?] white lettering, sticker instead of aluminum plate on the bottom, etc...

What do you guys think?
Also, is $135 shipped fair, or is that just pricing based on such early availability?

EDIT the last remnant I keep from my HHKB is the Ctrl/CapsLock situation, but only because it's easy enough to remap without having to run any software.

Post by: .XL on Fri, 15 April 2011, 22:51:26: Through the group buy you could end up paying $115-$120, so this is a valid option for you. The extra money is the price you pay for getting it fast.
Title: Poker on eBay (Dundundun...)
Post by: AndrewZorn on Fri, 15 April 2011, 23:03:01: Didn't know there was a group buy... I can wait a bit longer (much longer?) for $20.
EDIT looks like iMav already received AND sold all the Red versions. Great.

Still not sure though, especially considering I'd want to sell the HHKB to justify this.
I don't even know if I like Cherry Red. I like Black, but it is too heavy...

Post by: isp on Fri, 22 April 2011, 17:47:49: Well I've been thinking about buying one of these for a week now and I just saw that 7/8 were sold. Maybe he has more but I didn't want to risk being left out in the cold.

If I'm satisfied with the poker then I'll probably sell the fullsize G80-3494 to recoup some of the cost anyway.

Post by: noodles256 on Fri, 22 April 2011, 18:40:25: Andrew, I am selling my spot for the Poker cherry MX Red. Browns are to light for my fingers so I definitely know the Reds will be.

We can work something out, if your hhkb is white and lettered, I will def trade my spot and some money for it.

PM me
