Waiting for my first mech now, a Poker 2.. hella excited! Originally bought a Ducky TKL, but turned out it had never been in stock >.>
My first real mechanical (I don't count Razer) was a Ducky and now I am buying a Poker 2 this week. The exact opposite way so let me know how you like it coming from a 'new to mechs' perspective. I can confirm Ducky is an awesome keyboard as well.
I'm sure you'll love your Poker II. People rave about it here and since I picked up my first smaller form keyboard (LC660C), TKL is starting to look like a full sized! lol.
Actually, to come to think of it, Filco was my first real mech. However, I wasn't impressed, returned it and ended up really happy with a Ducky Shine 2 with reds.
