Title: Keyboard Pics? Who Doesn't Like Keyboard Pics!?
Post by: OnTheBrink on Tue, 12 March 2013, 23:20:25
So I just my PBTs a few days ago and my Gas Mask key! I figured I would share it with you all. Feel free to post your own pics of your board!

That looks slick. I like the subtle backlighting and stealthy PBT. Is that a Ducky? I like backlighting with non-transparent keys.

Btw, I think these type of posts belong here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33155).

I really like the stealthy look of the black PBT. Looks great imo.

I went for a somewhat similar look. Though I have engraved keys. Your dye subs look the business though. Makes me wonder whether I should have gone with dye sub instead. Picture was taken with a mr. potatohead

Here are those caps on my Poker. They are nice. They have a rougher feel to them than say imsto's PBT, but nice. I like that they're OEM profile, so I can match them in height with NIQMODs and CCs.

Yeah the keys are Dye Sub Vortex (KBC) OEM. Honestly, I you can barely see the legends so I wonder if I should have gotten blank. However, I kind of like how the legend barely shows. It gives it a little extra coolness imo.

As for engraved keys, your board still looks pimp man. I actually canceled my engraved order and went with dye sub after people's recommendations from here. So I cannot tell you if these are better. But if the engraved doesn't bother you, then it looks good to me! If you ever want to move to dye sub I am sure someone from here will buy those from you lol.

Man, I want a Poker now.

How does it feel to type on a Poker? Is it just as pleasurable as in other more famous mech boards?

And where can I get one?

Amazing and Yes!

I'd checkout the f/s section. Jdcarpe is currently selling a customized Poker. You'll probably see others listed in the future, but they've been going quick.

Not right now, but you should be able to find one for under $100 if you don't care about mods, customizations, or specific switches. Go to the f/s section and spam F5 lol

Shipping cost 13 Eur and free shipping if you get two boards in one order. That's not too bad I suppose.
