Title: Full size pok3r?
Post by: chones on Fri, 01 January 2016, 14:56:00
Hi All,

I need some help. I love my Pok3r. I use it as a portable option whenever possible. I cannot, however, use it as a daily driver because I cannot get used to the compact size. I like the 10 key, use it often, and therefore need that feature to be present in my daily driver. I have a Ducky One (w/ vortex pbt keycaps) & Ducky Shine 5. Both great keyboards, but they aren't the same as the Pok3r which just feels so great. I don't know what makes the Pok3r feel so great but I love love love it.

My question to y'all is: can you recommend any keyboards that feel similar to the Pok3r but come in a larger, standard layout?

Thanks!

You need to get a metal case.

Could always get a tenkey and keep the Pok3r.

Another useless post...

The case is obviously a factor but not the only one. The case and plate material affect the feeling of the board but that is not what OP asked.

I'm not sure you'll really find a full-size, mass produced keyboard that gives a similar feel to the Pok3r. Your best bet would honestly building your own but that can get costly. Honestly I think keshley has the best suggestion, this way you get to keep using the Pok3r which you already know you love to type on plus the the tenkey pad for data entry or whatever purposes you need it for.

Thanks for the tip. Hadn't thought about a keypad, but that might work. Thanks!

Do you want to make a keyboard? or you just want to buy the ready product? if you want ot build your own you can buy phantom keyboard and alu case from mkb.com or if you want a ready product you could buy varmillo 87 from massdrop and buy the alu case
