Title: Where to buy KBC Poker?
Post by: Rumudiez on Fri, 27 January 2012, 17:38:40: I'm revving up to order a Poker (I love the layout :3) and wanted to hear where other owners purchased theirs. I have vendio and ebay in mind, but has anyone had experience with any other resellers? Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Post by: reaper on Fri, 27 January 2012, 22:26:23: It's a really good keyboard for the price... especially if you like small form factor.

I didn't really like the choc mini. Don't have a huge need for such a small layout which is what has held me back from a poker. But they look so sweet!!

No its not I agree. But I would prefer all my boards to be costar. I still want to get a poker though.

I got those from iMav's group buy. Qtan's set should be the same if they're from KBC.

Red switch version is hard to come by right now. I would say your best bet is to wait for qtan to restock.

@Reaper thanks for posting the shot of that poker with the pbt keys. Had to bust out the wallet. Got one with browns incoming from Qtan!

Limited run from imsto's group buy (not sure when he'll do it again). Just wait for another group buy from oneproduct (link (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?28132-VIDEO-and-PICS-Poker-aluminum-or-stainless-steel-cases)).

Qtan5370 is a person who sells keyboards and accessories through his online-shop and eBay.
He explains it all here:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?19669-About-me-and-my-servers-and-warranty-info!

He also has his own subforum in the vendor forum here on GH, where you can ask questions like "when will you get item XYZ back in stock?" if you can't find what you're looking for in his shop:
