It is the no LED version, but it does have LEDs for Space Bar and CapsLock

Will there be any support/warranty offered on these?

If units are DOA they will be replaced if the hardware is faulty.  If the firmware is the issue, it can be fixed.

Do you know how these are to be programmed at the current time?
Title: Re: Poker 2 @ TechKeys
Post by: i3oilermaker on Mon, 06 May 2013, 21:50:13
Yes

Programming Usage
Press PN + Programmed key, OR
Press Toggle(FN+Right SHIFT) to light up the spacebar left LED first. Then press the programmed key directly. If
you press PN + Programmed key at this moment, it will output the original key code.

Do you know if it will be possible to re-assign the Fn and/or Pn keys elsewhere?  Specifically I would like to use the bottom right mods as arrow keys, and cannot do that to the Poker because the Fn key cannot even be seen by AutoHotKey or xkeymap.

Thanks!

Slightly off topic, but how difficult is it to swap out springs on a poker?

Not sure if Reds would be a good choice... but if I can swap in 55g springs fairly easily its a different situation

The original pokers were not plate mounted, so it was easy to switch stems/springs.


Poker 2s are plate mounted so I have to assume it will be hard to open switch housings without de-soldering first.

Ordered one with Brown switches.

Maybe those will have ad-free space bars!

Glad I waited.
