Help Identifying a Keyboard
« on: Sun, 02 November 2025, 16:00:35 »
Can anyone identify this keyboard? I believe it was a GH group buy about 12 or 13 years ago, but not certain. I am trying to figure out what the functions of the dip switch do. Also trying to determine what makes the led's illuminate. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Well, research leads me to believe this is NOT a GH60. Any ideas?

Upon further investigation, I believe this is may be a knock off of the Vortex POK3R. The PCB labeling doesn't look like the POK3R in the YouTube videos, the keys don't see to work like the YouTube videos, nor like the manual says they should. I am running Windows 11, and the FN key initiates weird pop ups and hotkey type activity with the OS. Going back to my original thought, was there a GH group buy at some point that was a knock off of the POK3R?

its not "knock-off", its custom case made by korean designer called "duck" (a.k.a duck0113), this board rarely pops up and considered rare. the pcb is not "vertex", its pcb from KBC Poker, the  board which is predecessor of vertex poker

Yes, I still own the KMAC.

Any idea on where to find a manual for the POK3R I have? Am struggling to understand the FN key operations.

looking for sale?? ;)

"As you can see, all the “missing” keys are available on the second layer, which is activated while the FN key is being held down. The placement of the ESC Key, the F-keys and also the arrows on WASD is very intuitive and does not need long to adjust to. If you are used to gaming with WASD keys, you will get used to the the arrow keys in no time. As a bonus some multimedia options such as volume controls are included.

Apart from the FN layer, there are also two additional “lock modes”. By pressing FN+Spacebar, you can enable the “arrow lock” mode."
