Poker is tiny like HHKB... next up from that is Noppoo Choc Mini, doesn't work with OSX due to their NKRO implementation.


Someone should test it with Lion to see if the bug is fixed.

I am an IT Technician; at work I use a Dell AT102W I found when clearing out a server room. Before finding this board, I knew absolutely nothing about mechanical boards and finding this barely used AT102W sparked my interest in them. I consequently found this site when trying to find information about the aforementioned board. It felt awesome compared to your standard rubber dome jobbies. Since then, I've found another one which I use when I'm based at a different office, and I bought myself a Cherry G80 for home use, which I absolutely love, apart from how easily the decals get stained!

@junkyardcat -

If you don't mind getting a little pricy and are into the unique key layout the HHKB really sounds like a great option for you. Otherwise yeah, something like a Poker would be good for you.

I'm a mechanic, that's probably why I like mechanical keyboards :P
Most of my hobby involve computers  tho (A/V-Processing, Photography...)

@Chobopants : probably this will be between HHKB Pro 2 and KBC Poker, in the end. In the meantime I've ordered a Cherry G84-5500 because that's what can be delivered to my door tomorrow. Classic POS keyboard, Cherry ML switches. A bit big for my application, but at 393 x 196 x 33 mm it will still fit in my bag.

Help Desk, use mine daily and leave it here. Dont really worry about it, most think its some old crappy keyboard(reason I got some fo free son).  

Funny you mention it, did just find one of those KeyTronic rubber domes, thought it was a Model M at first. :(

Investment banking analyst. I leave my Realforce 103 U-UW (white, with red Escape) and MS WMO 1.1a on my desk. I need the numpad for Excel work and Topres are really one of the only switches that are still fairly quiet when you bottom out.

Technical writer. I have Cherry blues at work, a Scorpius M10, and leave the board overnight. Its distinctive, with light and dark blue key caps.

Many of my co workers have brought in less distinctive keyboards, such as Logitech chicklets, to replace the Dell trash standard issue.

I plan to bring my Poker with Cherry browns when it arrives.

I'm a Human Resources Manager and have my full sized Filco with linear reds - black casing and white PBT keycaps at work, my tenkeyless version hooked up to my laptop and next to my recliner at home. And then in my home office I have the tenkyless RealForce.  I don't worry about my keyboard at work as I have an office that is locked whenever I leave it due to confidentiality and besides that no one at my work would even know there's anything special about my Filco.

I work for the DEA and am staked out next to Ripster's house watching him post on GH in his kimono.

My work keyboards are left at work, I don't tote them with me which is good because I'm known to use Northgates.  They rotate, currently it's a Filco with cherry browns.

Did you ever find some nice old keyboards with 'white powder' on it?
