Title: Heya, friends got me into this a while ago... :/
Post by: pandather on Sat, 11 May 2013, 12:20:16
Heya,
So I'm Mark, I have a tkl Ducky Shine 2 with white LEDs and MX Blue keys.  I wish I would've gotten a PCB mount so I could try different keys and springs/stems, but I didn't... Any recs?  Also, I have ~$130 and will most likely spend $30 on the Portal V2 PBT key set.  Does anyone have the link to the original group buy?  I've Googled to no avail. :(  Also, I kind of want an ultra small KB like the Poker or Pure (ooooorrrr the HHKB2 :p), but it'd need to be PCB mount.
Very best,

Welcome, im afraid the original Group buy finished a long long time ago. You'll have to scrounge for one on the classifieds. Good Luck, Have Fun!

yup, I'm getting the set for $31 on the classified section, just was wondering if there was a thread with some more pictures.  Also, what's the difference between PBT and the other type of key? Is PBT more rough than my ducky?  And where could I get a poker? I heard they have firmware issues, so could you mod a different controller board on it?
Very best,

Welcome to Geekhack! Zenuty is selling a few Poker PCBs if you want to get on that DIY train. I also expect some more used Pokers to show up once GH60s arrive.

welp, bought a modded QFR with greens and a custom plate.  Also, I might trade my DK9087 for a Pure with reds, does that seem fair?  I could just sell the ducky and buy a poker though, I like DIY.
