Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a while I guess the market finally lured me into registering :)
Right now I have a Das Model S (that I am trying to sell), a Pok3r backlit, and newly acquired a RF 87U for work. Also bought a White Fox barebone from MassDrop today so I'm super excited :)

The only picture of Pok3r I can find while at work was the one I took when I assembled my PC last December.

Welcome :)
Have you used the RF enough to find an opinion on it?

Welcome to Geekhack!
An interesting range of keyboards. Which switches have you got in each one, and have you found a favourite switch yet?

Thank you :)
I like the feel of it a lot. Though I found it on the heavy side and definitely not for gaming. That's why it's at work now :)

It's a Brown Das, my first mech. Pok3r is MX Red, I got that since I game a lot at home. Initially I wasn't a fan of it, but after half a year I really like it now. I do miss the dedicated arrow keys though. That's why I decided to jump in the White Fox hype. Only go the RF for a few weeks, I like typing on it a lot, and I have to say 80% is my favorite layout since I don't really use the numpad. Still getting used to how heavy it is though.
Definitely looking forward to get my hands on some Zealios and decide from there what to put on the White Fox. If the last drop was any indicator I'll have plenty time to decide. ;D

Is the RealForce 45g or 55g? 45g should be about the same weight as reds/browns, although with a different force curve. 55g would definitely feel noticeably heavier.
The good thing about a TKL or 60% keyboard is that you can get a separate numpad and have the best of both worlds!
Also there is the Leopold FC660M, which is basically a 60% with dedicated arrow keys. There's a Topre version of that too (the FC660C).

It's the 55g, yep.
I can live without the keypad easily. Though I do miss the dedicated arrow keys. I ordered a White Fox from mass drop when it opened again, and got a grab bag the same Friday. From there I got enough granite to fill a pok3r, which is really exciting :)
looking forward to get some zealios on that Fox :)

Grab bags (or crap bags, as they were called for a while) must have gotten better. In the two I got, I didn't get a full set of any type of keycaps :))

:<< That's some luck. Or they just got massively better. Someone got more than 2 full sets of mixed pulse, and I ended up with less than 3 1.25u keys T_T
well RNG will RNG. But I had so much fun sorting them out, and learning about different profiles.

Awesome, welcome :)

One thing they are great for is making keycaps. If you're sculpting, or need the stems, or just want to experiment with something, a couple of handfuls of crap bag keycaps are just the thing!
