Title: Question about poker keys
Post by: roaming pear on Wed, 21 May 2014, 22:54:47
Hello.... I have a poker 2.. and recently I have seen this picture:

Those yellow keys look really attractive... I want to add them to my keyboard somewhere... I am assuming I'd using 2 of them for FN and PN and maybe one more win.. The 4th won't fit on the esc so I dunno... I am seen some people put all 4 poker keys on the right of the kyeboard..... I'm not sure... but my main issue is that I don't know if these will be at the same height as the rest of my keys. I was told that another set of similar keys had a lower profile so I wanted to know how this one was...
Also are these thick pbt?

Does anyone have any experience with these keys to be able to tell me about that?


Thank you

Those look like SP's....poker doesn't take 1.5x mods nor 1.75x shift

But haven't seen those yellow ones before, do you have a link to the source?

Most people seem to put the e Poker keys on the 4 bottom right switches, as in: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35152.msg1263513#msg1263513

So I'm guessing they're designed for the bottom row.
