Looking for a 60% or tenkeyless with a programmable key layer
« on: Fri, 03 October 2014, 16:01:46 »
I looked at the ducky mini and liked it for everything it offered, I'm still interested in it but I would hopefully like to find something with programmable keys. Can anyone give me some good options? My spending limit is 140$
I live in the US

Thanks!

For programmable go the poker 2 since it has really good programmable layer

poker 2 = ducky mini

they're exactly the same except for the look and the branding.

Afaik only the Ducky Mini V1 is identical to the Poker II. The Ducky Mini V2 is a different beast altogether.

Poker 2, QFR and a Frosty Flake, Phantom, any of GON's customs (but these won't fit your budget unless you only buy a PCB and get the rest of the parts from some other board.), hand wired board made with a plate from an existing board and a Teensy. Least work is a Poker 2 or a completed Phantom.

A bit more way out is an IBM SSK with a programmable converter or replacement controller.

Thanks for the reply!

I know it isn't programmable, but it looks promissing for everything else I'm looking for. Is the KUL es87 a good keyboard? If not is there any other tenkeyless you could recommend?

I also found the quickfire tk, can any owners recommend it over the kul?
