I'm revving up to order a Poker (I love the layout :3) and wanted to hear where other owners purchased theirs. I have vendio and ebay in mind, but has anyone had experience with any other resellers? Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

can't wait!

FinancialWar · « **Reply #1 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 17:49:15 »

you can get poker in China, taobao, ebay and aliexpress.

However, that is one ugly looking poker lol.

GeorgeStorm · « **Reply #2 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 18:02:57 »

Pretty sure that's not a picture of a Poker, but of a Pure.....

Lots of Pokers seem to be available on ebay.

Rumudiez · « **Reply #3 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 18:04:38 »

it is a pure, but they have the same basic layout and look so i posted the best picture i knew of after google images failed me

You can try the classifieds section.

Damn you reaper you make me really want a Poker. Although I don't really have a use for one.

What caps are on the bottom one?

reaper · « **Reply #8 on:** Fri, 27 January 2012, 22:26:23 »

It's a really good keyboard for the price... especially if you like small form factor.

I didn't really like the choc mini. Don't have a huge need for such a small layout which is what has held me back from a poker. But they look so sweet!!

Poker uses Cherry stabilizer

seferphier · « **Reply #13 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 10:21:33 »

I was wondering, could i just replace KBC poker with any MX cherry keycaps?

No its not I agree. But I would prefer all my boards to be costar. I still want to get a poker though.

Reaper are those the stock caps from the PBT version that qtan sells?? If so they look damn nice. Looks like it but the pictures on his site are too small.

Saviant · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 12:06:00 »

They look like the pbt set that came with the Ducky 9008

I got those from iMav's group buy. Qtan's set should be the same if they're from KBC.

Thanks Reaper. I can't tell from your pics but do yours have the side printed stuff on the letters as well? Like the arrows on the wasd?

reaper · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 14:07:16 »

^ Try either imsto or qtan. Between those two, one of them should be able to find you a set. Good luck!

Thanks Bro. Gotta get my hands on the board first. Probably cheaper just to buy it with them already on.

Rumudiez · « **Reply #24 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 16:35:20 »

thanks for all the responses, guys.
since it's come up a few times, does anyone know when a potential group buy for the Pure might come around? hmmm iMav?

seferphier · « **Reply #25 on:** Sun, 29 January 2012, 00:36:11 »

Red switch version is hard to come by right now. I would say your best bet is to wait for qtan to restock.

@Reaper thanks for posting the shot of that poker with the pbt keys. Had to bust out the wallet. Got one with browns incoming from Qtan!

Netdewt · « **Reply #38 on:** Sat, 10 March 2012, 20:23:14 »

Limited run from imsto's group buy (not sure when he'll do it again). Just wait for another group buy from oneproduct (link).

lightsout714 · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 10 March 2012, 21:27:03 »

You can't there was only like 12? of those cases made. Unless you get someone to sell one but good luck. Someone is getting some similar silver ones made. Look in the group buys forum.

Qtan5370 is a person who sells keyboards and accessories through his online-shop and eBay.
He explains it all here:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?19669-About-me-and-my-servers-and-warranty-info!

He also has his own subforum in the vendor forum here on GH, where you can ask questions like "when will you get item XYZ back in stock?" if you can't find what you're looking for in his shop:
