Title: Any *nix users on a poker 2?
Post by: cultofjosh on Tue, 01 April 2014, 15:09:27
Just got my first 60% today - Poker 2. So far I'm loving the diminutive size. The lack of a real up arrow key will take some getting used to but doesn't seem insurmountable. The thing that is driving me crazy is the keystroke needed for a tilde. I was wondering how others dealt with that.

I think ultimately I'll have a custom 60% with tilde + smaller right shift, but I really want to love this keyboard as is. I'm going to RTFM tonight when I get home to see what programming options I have, not that the "manual" is all that long...

I thought about the pure pro, but I didn't think I would like that. I did seriously consider a pure, but I ended up going with the poker 2 - I thought it would be sacrilege to put anything other than a poker 2 in the FMJ case I will have in a few months :) At least to start. But I mean, come on, it has poker symbols on the bottom!
