I absolutely love the feel of my Pok3r but I think it's time to move on. I need my function keys and also miss having arrows as well and additionally, this also gives me an excellent excuse to start a collection (the Pok3r is the only KB I own).
The same metal casing and the overall feel when typing is exactly what I would like this next keyboard to have. Are there any good TLK keyboards out there that feel similar to the Pok3r?

filco mj2
if you want a metal case you can get one for like another $100
metal TKLs are pretty hard to find stock so if you want one you have to splurge a bit
stock filcos ****ing good tho

I'd say a Filco is pretty good. My only gripe with Filcos are that the MJ2 TKL doesn't have a detachable cord. You can mod it to have it, but it comes attached out of the box. This is why I sold my Filco TKL.
The Leopold is also great, and while I've never owned one, I hear the newer Leopolds have the same level of quality as Filcos.

Definitely Leopold. Filcos don't even come with PBT keycaps.

Not everyone loves PBT, I almost never use it.

They make a version with a removable cable now, it's called "convertible"

You could look into the iKBC MF-87. Made by the same people who made your Pok3r and comes in an aluminum case.
