Look at what you've done to me!
« on: Fri, 27 September 2013, 10:39:05 »
It wasn't enough for me to simply order my Poker 2 and be done with it. I had to get an idea for a special mod project. To that end, I've just laid out for the following:

- Hammer case in red from Taobao
- 2x USB cables to be made by Paranoid
- Red set of PBT keycaps and a new 6.25x spacebar from the group buy section
- Set of red WASD o-rings. I'm typing on the blues right now. They're good but I want to compare.

There are a few other odds and ends that I need, but my credit card and PayPal accounts are getting quite the workout. I'll call it a good way to spend the first paycheck from my new job.  ;D

Everything RED! You got red switch right? You'll also need some red paint for the plate and some red switch tops from the groupbuy :))

Not quite. ;)

The Poker has Browns because I don't like linear switches and the Blues are too noisy. I hadn't thought about painting the plate but since you don't see it I'm probably not going to bother. I would like a set of black on red thick PBT caps but the red on white I have on order from the group buy is a decent alternative.

If it's any consolation I haven't received my first board in the mail yet and I'm already planning my second, though I haven't yet decided how I want to mod it (and I want a Poker II with Browns)! ;D

Are you in Toronto? There's a good guy here on GH that sells Poker 2's. It'll save on shipping and his price is reasonable.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

We can now add one of those awesome EVA tenkeyless cases to the list. I don't want to carry the Poker unprotected in my laptop bag, so I've been using the original box to move it back and forth between home and work.  :-X

My miniLA live in the box when it's in my bag, so don't freak about it.

I do have plans for my pure pro though...

The problem more stems from the box being something else I need to carry rather than just putting it in my bag and going on my way. I want the keyboard to have some kind of protection. I like this board and want to keep it for a long time.
