Hello GeekHack
« on: Tue, 18 September 2012, 03:21:27 »
What a wonderful site you have! I recently made my first mechanical keyboard purchase of a Filco Majestouch 2 Ninja w/ brown switches and am already looking at other keyboards for purchase. I'd like to get a Poker w/ red switches and PBT caps but as far as I can tell they are rarely in stock so I'll just have to wait it out.

This seems like a pretty awesome community.

Welcome to GeekHack.

That is exactly what I'd do, but it seems pretty impossible to find a Poker w/ red switches at the moment (without getting one used). The only ones I could find were the blacks at mechanicalkeyboards.com.

Sometimes it's like he accidentally makes a thread instead of a google search.

You can pretty easily find blue/red/brown springs via classifieds on here and do an easy mod without soldering to "ghetto reds" on all the switches with no LEDs. Best part about the poker is the ease of beginner modding and switch testing and compatibility with keycap sets.

Welcome to Geekhack!

One keyboard.  Then another.  Then some key caps ...

And then .....

Your wallet will not recover ;)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
