Are these plates the type with cutouts that you can switch out spring and stems without de-soldering?
iam new poker owner for what are pokerplates ???
and why do people change pcb's ? what are exactly pcb's ?is it this redplate under the keys right ? what changes come with a new ? or why do you changeit. Mhhh seem some how logic with the steelplate the pokr seems abit fragil but did anyone ever killed it or u get really better typing feeling out of it ? i thank uvery much for ur answer.

I'm pretty new to the mechanical keyboard community, but I bought the poker pcb and plates because I couldn't easily find a complete poker with the switches and keycaps I wanted. So I bought all the components separately. Now I will have the exact poker I want. I suppose some peoples pcbs will have broken over time so they could be replacing theirs.
As far as the plate goes, it should just make the keyboard feel more solid and stable.

what about the case..? and the stabilizers..
I also would be in for a pcb, but I am living in germany :/
Edit: or do you also send to Europe?

Can't you get costar stabs from wasd
If you plate mount?
Received my tracking information. Thank you iMav!
and pcb's are poker cases ? but what kinda ?

Am I missing something here, surely by PCB he means Printed Circuit Board(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board) :P
PMd, please reply :)
So are the extra solder points for diodes or LEDs?

I don't think you're suppose to PM him, I think it's email only. At least that's how it was when I bought my PCBsSo are the extra solder points for diodes or LEDs?
Diodes are already soldered on the board. There are holes in the PCB to mount LEDs, but there are no traces that support full back-lighting.

My american friend just got the shipment with the PCB + Plate. Thanks again, iMav!
Two quick questions:
- What LEDs do I need to buy for this? I understand that they need to be 3mm, but at what voltage? I'm hoping to get white LEDs. Is there anything else I need to know regarding LEDs?
- Where can I obtain the plate-mount Cherry stabilizers & bars required for this plate?
Edit: alaricljs has helped me out via PM. Thanks!
Thank you iMav! :-*
My two Poker PCBs arrived safe and sound today.(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8530/8507609653_bc00f822e9.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mashby/8507609653/)
Poker PCB - Unwrapped (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mashby/8507609653/) by Michael Ashby (http://www.flickr.com/people/mashby/), on Flickr
joo mashby :) how's ur poker doin ? any changes so far ? status update ?
Share the information for those who needs help on it too!! (Like myself) I'm excited that there are LED options, custom upgrade to pure. :D
So I just went through my PMs and sure enough I stated... "7 white LEDs" that doesn't come anywhere near a Pure, it merely fills the spots on a Poker that already support LEDs. If you want a full complement of LEDs that's fine, but do understand that the Poker merely has plated through holes for the remaining locations. No traces, no power, nothing to cause them to light up.
It has the holes in the PCB, which is nice, but no traces
BTW did anyones pokers come with any LEDs? Mine came with none at all (2 PCB's bought)
I wired mine so that when the Esc key was active (FN+Q) the WASD cluster would light up as well. However, I'm running no LEDs on my poker since I HATE DESOLDERING THEM EVEN IF I NEVER PLAN ON CHANGING STEMS AGAIN!!!!
Does anyone fancy splitting the UK postage costs? :) pls :DIf you can't find anyone from UK hit me up, I'm from NL and I'm interested in a pcb.

Will split US to UK costs and pay for UK to NL in full of course. Might even be more expensive for me this way, but probably not by much so who cares.
