Title: Poker II Any time soon?
Post by: eka on Fri, 13 September 2013, 15:38:07: Seen that you are out of stock on poker II... is there any ETA on when you will have more? Looking for one with cherry browns.

They are going to lose their 60% business to the GH60 and Ducky mini because of their failure to communicate. Calling it.

Does someone sells the GH60 already well assembled and tested?

I could buy something like that. :)

It is close to production. I'm sure several people will sell fully assembled ones but they will be expensive. The point of the GH60 is to build your own keyboard. That's the fun.

Yes I know, but I live in South America, for me will be double expensive to try to assemble it. :'(

Where can I buy them online? Can't find any carrying ducky.

Post by: metalliqaz on Mon, 16 September 2013, 13:52:00: I don't think it's out yet (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44418.0). I'm not bothering to look right now, but these are the places you can usually find these brands...

Ducky - mechanicalkeyboards.com
Filco - Amazon

Post by: Flyersfan1 on Fri, 20 September 2013, 20:02:18: Looks like Poker 2's with browns are back in stock.
Title: Re: Poker II Any time soon?
Post by: JoshMK on Sat, 21 September 2013, 20:41:34: Very few. There were a few browns mixed in with a box of blues.
Title: Re: Poker II Any time soon?
Post by: Kian on Sun, 13 October 2013, 00:17:18: Heads up: I managed to snag a Poker II with Browns on it. Mine was the international version so it came with a blank space bar in addition to an English manual. I ordered on Thursday, arrived to me on Friday.

I could never be more happy.

Post by: Belfong on Sun, 13 October 2013, 00:51:21: Over here in Malaysia, one vendor I know have a few Browns Poker 2 for sale. They ship international. The name is Heavy Arm - Google the name. I'll get you take links later if you need to.

Title: Re: Poker II Any time soon?
Post by: ARod on Sun, 01 December 2013, 00:53:21: Not the same but they got PKX7000 Pure Pro in stock, very nice board and the price is right.

Do you guys plan on re-stocking your Vortex cases (that fit Filcos) any time soon?
Title: Re: Poker II Any time soon?
Post by: Belfong on Wed, 04 December 2013, 10:01:12: So.. could you clarify the difference between KBT and Vortex? The Poker 2 that I have looked a lot like the KBT Oni. KBT Oni is made in Taiwan but Poker is made in China. Both are sometimes called Vortex interchangeably. I am confused.

KBTalking manufactures Vortex's lines. So technically, whether a keyboard is Vortex or KBT, they are all KBTalking.

+1. Been waiting here as well. I hate backlit keyboards and abs caps so I figured it is worth waiting for new stock to come in :P

Thats weird. Every browser I try will not take me to it. Chrome says "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect"
Title: Re: Poker II Any time soon?
Post by: JoshMK on Thu, 16 January 2014, 10:38:13: That's odd. When our site does go down, which has been once in the last 2 years, we get 100 emails scared to death that we're closing up shop or something. No emails lately...

Try doing the typical clear history & cookies, restart comp, etc.

Should of noted the PBT version. Hopefully they do not stop producing the keyboard, unless a Poker III is coming which I would be interested in seeing the layout.
