Multimedia ShortcutsLooks like WASD brought full media control functionality to the Pok3r 60%.

I wish the caps the CODE came with weren't such garbage. If they are working with Vortex they should do something about that. Good, stock backlight compatible caps would be nice. This is not something I would buy, but that would at least makes it somewhat unique. Media keys are good thing, too.Full media key functionality out of the box is the only detail that really caught my eye. Same CODE caps :(
1+ years ago WASD told me they would roll out a new product in ~1 year, I hoped for an aluminium TKL with internal padding pads etc.
Certainly didn't expect a re-branded lousy poker with a white plate, I mean, go with a black plate at least ...
IMO, they should make their own keyboards, if they are going to re-brand another keyboard, I would buy a Varmilo VA68M, with no tramp stamps, and costar stabs instead of cherry stabs

I have no comment about the rest of this thread but you prefer costar? I mean no hate, to each their own. I have some wacky-shack keyboards. I've always been firmly on cherry > costar, though.
well im a n00b. so i bought one :p :p :p. my 2nd mech keyboard coming from a k70. dont laugh at me.Let me know how you like it. I'm definitely curious about the keyboard :thumb:
So you pay more for less? I don't get it.

I have not one, but two CODE keyboards. I had one at work which I used every day for a week and the black coating on the "a" and "s" key was largely removed by the end of that week. Now - I have long nails, so I know that made it worse, but a week? Terrible. I swapped the caps out on the other one almost immediately.I wish the caps the CODE came with weren't such garbage.

I find them to be quite servicable for a work environment - not overstated, white backlighting is not gaudy.
What didn't you like about them?
How can that be? I thought the Poker did not have media keys, and the CODE does?Oh wait a sec.. I guess Vortex released a firmware update for media controls when I wasn't looking. http://theniunai.com/pok3r-firmware-update-v1-1-5-new-media-keys/ (http://theniunai.com/pok3r-firmware-update-v1-1-5-new-media-keys/)

Costar sucks, unless you never change your key caps.

I change my caps all the time :)

Really any of those black coated caps are terribad. They just don't last. Vortex makes the doubleshot POM/PBT caps, if they are partnering with them, that would have been a wise upgrade to include. It would make it stand out from a heavily saturated 60% market.
I must admit that is pretty bad.
Do your nails scrape the keycaps much? I rarely have nails of any length to speak of, but I don't recall them scratching the keys last time I did.
My CODE I have used daily for maybe six months with no signs of wear anywhere on it.
In fact the only criticism I have is that the corners of the case are not rounded, and dig into my hands when I rest them against the corners.

The only major case i can see for buying one of these over a Pok3r is if you live in the US and have an issue under warranty it would be WAY easier to get this served than an actual Pok3r.Huh, why didn't I think of that?
We offer a 1 year replacement warranty on all our UV printed keycaps.

FN +I'm not sure what is going on with that. Does it really have all of those media functions? For those that bought the VP3 I would really like to know :thumb:
