Title: 3 Poker 2 Questions
Post by: nickr on Thu, 06 June 2013, 22:18:07

This Poker 2 (http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/shop-mechanical-keyboard-by-br/kbc-poker-2-61keys-mechanical-/lid=35050923)

1.  Can the switches be swapped out without desoldering and soldering?  (I read plate mounted here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39271.0))

2.  Can the case be swapped out without desoldering and soldering (e.g. imsto/treble318)?

3.  Is the spacebar a common size, i.e., swappable with something that doesn't have the world's worst slogan?

None of these are deal breakers but I have a few mods in mind and wanted to know whether I should take up soldering as an ancillary hobby.
