Title: Hi there!
Post by: lulu on Thu, 19 February 2015, 17:27:40

Hi there!
I'm here to fill the ranks of the 60% soldiers.
I currently have got two KBC Poker II:
A MX Red one with blue leds mixed ABS- and Ducky PBT blank caps as well as an MX Blue one with PBT caps.

Can't wait to get more.

Hello! Nice keyboards, how do you like 60%? I have been thinking of gettin one! :D
There is probably threads dedicated to this but I saw your post and decided to ask!

Hi.  :)
I love them.
It takes some time to get used to the FN-layer, but after a day it feels very perfect.
They both got the arrow-keys on WASD and navigating in excel starts to feel a little like gaming. :D
For gaming its awesome, because you have much more space for your mouse.

It is also very handy, if you take your keyboard to university and carry it around very much.
(I even tried my MX-Blues in the library, but don't do that, because everybody will watch you! :D)
It fits in every bag.

I don't have much space on my desk, (because there is a piano-keyboard, too) so i don't want to miss them.
I hope to get a 40% someday! :D

If you need your function-keys a lot, maybe a TKL would maybe be better.

Thanks for the great feedback!
Defiantly reinforced my previous idea of 60%
I wonder how hard it would be to mod a IBM Model M to 60%
I'll look it up!  :p

Defiantly?

Good luck with your mod.

Welcome :D. Do you think you'll ever return to TKL or full size after going to 60%?

It is funny, i just visited your profile one second before you wrote here. :D
Just avatar is awesome!

At the moment i am only interesstend in 60% and 40%.
Maybe some day when i move to a bigger room i could imagine to get a tkl, too.
The two pokers, my Midi-keyboard and my two mice are just fitting barely on my desk.

But there is no way i go to fullsize back ever again, i love this compact size to much. :)

Nice setup, the Poker is an awesome board if you are on the go or to maximize desk space  :thumb:

Welcome to Geekhack!

Do you want more Pokers, or more keycaps?

Or both?

Either way you'll fit in around here.  Sorry about your wallet though ;)

Thank you!

Both! :D

I definitely need one of these new Poker 3's and i just fell in love with typewriter-keycaps! :D

You'll fit in very well around here, the GH motto is almost "why not both" :))
