That's vortex though not kbc, right?
I'm not familiar with Poker 2. I just know people like it because of it's 60% and fully programmable.
Also something about the board flexing in the middle.
What I'm really trying to say is I'm lazy, tell me about this keyboard + quality and then tell me to buy it or not buy it :).

board flex was poker X which didn't have a screw in the middle. Poker2 has lots of screws (even in the middle) and a metal plate so it's quote solid.

It's programmable on the fly which is nice, but harder to do than (say) editing a file and updating firmware that way.

Also I thought KBC makes the poker and Vortex is the OEM, like diatec makes the filco and costar OEMs it. I could be wrong though.

so if I wanted to get a poker 2 should I avoid getting one from vortex?

Poker 2 is Vortex. KBC is the designer.

Vortex = KBC Poker X, KBT Race, KBT Pure, Poker 2, Pure Pro, Race 2...
