Poker II or the Ducky Premier
« on: Tue, 01 April 2014, 05:37:03 »
So I was all set in my head to get a Poker II,
it was gonna set me back 90 GBP and I was ok with that, a bit miffed as it's a 60%
Now I can get the Ducky Premier for 99 :O
I type in dvorak, and apart from really liking the neatness of the Poker I'm not attached to 60%.....
So, the decision, Is it a good shout to get it?
It's a good board either way yeah?


Or go all out, get both and use one for work :P

I don't think you can go wrong with the Ducky. If you think there's something missing you can still get the Poker afterwards.

May I ask where you'd buy the Premier from?

premier is the logical way to go.  builtin dvorak; save your time.

Can I link Sites? If not let me know I can remove:
UK:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=702&catid=2705&sortby=nameAsc&subid=&mfrid=647
They are owned by the german company caseking, so might hit their shop soon


Can anyone see a problem with re-arranging the Keys?
Doesn't look like there's a legend that would interfere

I'm pretty shure the Ducky has OEM Profile. So you'll get a problem if you move keys to different rows.

Here's some info regarding profiles: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Keyboard_profile

This groupbuy can solve the issue since all the keys there have the same profile and can be swapped around as you like.

if you buy from qtan's store i think you can get the poker for 65GBP shipped?

Just that it won't be in UK layout

I just saw the Premier from overclockers is a preorder. You'd have to wait for it anyway.

If you go to Ducky's website, they have a decent list of retailers for every location. I'd recommend the Premier; some of the thickest PBT you can get and excellent quality. As a Dvorak user, however, I recommend you don't switch letters around and just learn to touch type, as it seems everyone else I know do.

Yeah, I've decided to just get it, leave it qwerty
Caps are just too good :P

I can touch type, it's just I can't touch type special chars, meh, I'll learn I suppose.

Any link to this 'qtan'?


On another note, I'm gonna buy both :D
