Title: My first mechanical keyboard - KBC Poker II

Got my keyboard a few days ago and got the keycaps yesterday and today.

KBC Poker II MX Brown from qtan on ebay, DSA PBT blank caps from PimpMyKeyboard.com (Dark Grey, Black, Red)

Now I just need one of those fancy artisan keycaps right?

Looks very good! You don't really NEED a fancy artisan keycap, but they are kinda cool.   :)

Nice! I just recently got my first one too. That thing looks pretty nifty, and we both are using browns! Isnt it a freaking amazing change from rubberdomes?! The sound and key travel really make me happy. Now just to practice not bottoming out my keystrokes all the time.

Posting a link so I dont steal your spotlight ;)

After reading the unpopuilar opinions thread, I decided that just to spite some of you people that dont like kawaii boards, I am going to make mine really really really colorful and silly looking. That'll show you!

Was getting used to the different layout difficult at all for you? How do you like using something so small? Are you gaming with this board, or are you a typist/coder?


Keep on  keeping on! Hope you love yours as much as I started to love mine!

That looks really nice! I hope you're enjoying the new keyboard. :)

An artisan keycap would definitely be cool. Hopefully you can get your hands on one soon. :)
