Full Album Here! ->http://imgur.com/a/xK2Uv
After over 6 months of tracking down all of the pieces I have finally completed this board! I was going for a full metal theme, and I think the final result was well worth it.
Parts list:
-Poker II MX Clears, modded to Cherry MX Green Switches.
-Satin Nickle Painted Plate.
-Uniform color white LEDs.
-Blank Zinc keycaps with an Aluminum spacebar.
-TEX Silver Low Profile Case.
-Pexon Matte Silver Sleeved Cable.
-QWER Grey 60% Keyboard Bag.
Other tidbits:
-The keyboard weighs 2.36lb / 1.07kg, minus the case and cable.
-The Blank Zinc keycaps were by far the hardest part to track down, as the last group buy for them was over 2 years ago.
Thanks for looking!
-
Wow, that looks pretty impressive. Always nice to see a build come together like that.
-
Nice! My only criticism is that the spacebar isn't flipped. :D
-
Would love to hear it in action! Typing video possible?

WIth a keyboard like that, I don't think you will really want to sell your keycaps, will you?
But then again, I don't think that Poker is going anywhere. It can't be 1kg with the keycaps...

I really didn't want to, but I did find a buyer for the caps. And yes, it was very heavy; it barely ever moved.
-
awesome! nice photos too. that's a blingy keyboard and a bit. I wonder what it'd look like in all gold :D
-
Nice to see my full metal poker has family out there!
Had er for a few years
-
Wow, I never like the look of zinc caps, but I actually really like them on this ;D
-
Cool, this looks like a keyboard made for Robocop. The robo-board.

This!!!
-
That... is actually really impressive. Some of those photos look like a render. It's so... pure.
It is the keyboard of the gods. PC Master Race++
-
It's so... pure.
Actually, it's a poker, not a pure :P
-
I knew someone would make that joke.
-
Glad to be of service :)
-
I am curious to know if you modded the switches to greens because the weight of the caps made other switches too light? I always figured metal caps would just be too heavy for each individual switch.

My zinc caps are on reds. Very very light. Most would say too light but to me, it's a dream to type on.
-
how much does it weight? you could probably kill someone with that beautiful thing pretty easily :D
-
Classy!
I never knew there were metal modifier keycaps, Im digging the metallic simple look.
-
Disappointed the switches are not 100% metal. :)) Nah I am kidding :p Looks bloody fantastic! :thumb:
