Hey there!
So I'm from India, been lurking long time on r/MK and here occasionally for research related stuff till I got my K70 recently. And now I can see totally how addictive the keyboard love is.
Would love to find out more and step my customization game up (with the K70 I know not much is possible for now.. but hey I'll graduate out of it eventually :) - Been eyeing a pok3r for work since a long time :P )
The mech market here in India is pretty depressing really.. So if anyone of you geeks are in India and know stuff, that would be awesome - how you guys go about keycaps, keyboard, artisans or any keyboard related shopping! Do we have any group-buys within India? How do you guys get stuff shipped internationally while managing the absurdly high shipping rates? Lots of questions to ask and long way to go.. But I'm here to stay and find out more with the help of you all :)

Hey welcome, the pok3r is a solid board from what everyone says about it :thumb:

Welcome to Geekhack!
The K70 has indeed got a non-standard layout, which will make it difficult to find suitable replacement keycap sets. The Pok3r, however, has a standard layout, as well as being a fantastic keyboard (if you can live without dedicated function keys, arrow keys, and a numeric keypad.
There are a few Indian members, although one of our most active, MOZ, moved to South Africa, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if there are enough of you to form your own local group, or to arrange country-specific group buys, but that would be the case for most countries.
If you wanted to see what interest there is, a good place to start is to organise a meetup, see how many turn up, and go from there.
