Title: Question about Poker II keycap sizes.
Post by: acer589 on Tue, 10 September 2013, 02:09:36

 Are the keycaps on the Poker II pretty much standard sized? Like... would I be able to use an 84-key set and just have some left over?

I think the Poker II uses standard cherry keycaps? Don't quote me on it though.

The Poker has a standard ANSI layout.

So, would I want to order an 84 or 87 set? Or would it not matter?

Sorry for the nooby questions.

Is there anything from the 87 set that you would need? If not, then no.

Which sets are we talking about? Never seen a 84-key set, could be for a 75% which might not fit, they often use non-standard keycap sizes.

So, I should go 87 then? To be clear, these are the two I was looking at:

Just as I expected, the 84-key set is for a 75% board, in this case the Keycool 84. They will not fit the Poker II (1x1 bottom row modifiers, short right shift, etc.).
Go for the 87-key set.
