I love this keyboard, but unfortunately I have some bills that need to be paid and I decided that my mechanical has to go. It's the same size as a Poker, the top bit only adds a half inch. Some fading on the W, S, D keys. You can order blank keys from the guy who made the keyboard (he's on GH) for $15. The layout may appear funky, especially with the non staggered layout in the bottom right, but it works surprisingly well. Going in, I thought I'd miss the right shift a **** ton because I struggled with the Pure's right shift. I've missed it maybe 10 times over the course of two months, each time right when I began typing on the computer for the first time that day. It's really well spaced, same with the space bar. I've been really impressed with the shorter spacebar, because the thing does not wobble like a 6.25x sized one does. The aluminum body adds a lot of weight, and is much harder to move than my poker or pure ever was. It's a very pretty keyboard too. Looks great stock, without having to replace the caps or get a new case.
Cherry stabs
Red switches
I paid $140 shipped, so I'd like to get $115 shipped for it (OBO) or a TKL.
Linear switches only, Filco's preferred.

Wish it had browns! GL though

Good luck with selling. I have the same keyboard but with MX browns. I really like it and can only recommend it to people, who wants a 60% keyboard that looks nice.

thanks guys.

Seems like you have a poker in your gallery pics. Why do you like poker over this one? I'm kind of debating between something with arrow keys are this or the poker.

I prefer the Beetle, and it was my daily driver. Having arrow keys rules. I already sold the Poker to a friend.
What I liked most about it was that it looked great, and I didn't have to do a damn thing to it. Didn't have to buy a case, or get new keycaps, it just looked good.

I am also considering this keyboard as a 60% board. I am a programmer and am trying to figure out of I can actually adjust to not having arrow keys.
I believe I could reprogram the Poker II to use the arrow keys as Fn+ J I L K to get an almost HHKB style arrow handling (I still need to confirm this), but it is required that I have arrow key handling on one hand. I use shift or alt and the arrow keys together all the time.
My only concern with this board is if I can get used to a 1x1 size shift key. Also, I do not know the build quality of this board at all. How does it feel, does it feel really solid? I need to do more research about how the switches are mounted on the different 60% boards.
In regards to this keyboard. Does it come with PBT keycaps (thats what it looks like in the picture)?

Are most of the keys standard (other than the right shift and spacebar obviously)? Can I get PBT (or POM) caps for this board (blank caps would be fine)?
-
For the most part yeah. I think the left shift is a tad bit smaller too. About the size of numpad 0. You can get blank ABS caps from a guy on here that made the board for $15. Build quality is great. It's plate mounted.
