After a small mech keyboard. [UK]

[Lorem-Ipsum]

Hi folks.

After spending a while lurking and the occasional few posts, I bought a Filco Majestouch 2 earlier this year.
I really like it and will certainly never use rubber dome again, although I still quite like certain scissor switched boards.

As I have a full size Filco I'd quite like to go to the opposite end of the size scale and get a very small keyboard.

I'm thinking either a Poker, Noppoo choc mini, or a KBT race.

Backlighting is not needed but I would like to get brown this time over blues and I will probably be changing the keycaps to a White/green mix or a Cream cheese set if I can get hold of one for a good price.

I know I can get hold of a KBT race in the UK and maybe a Noppoo choc mini but I have no idea where I'd be able to get hold of a poker for a reasonable price.

Any other suggestions or advice?

You just missed Poker groupbuy. Other than that there is pretty much only used market now. You could get a Pure instead, or maybe a Keycool 84 instead of Race or Choc?

Doh, just noticed.

I do like the look of the pure. The problem is, being in the UK, I get slapped with a massive import fee on virtually anything and I'm really struggling to find any of the above in the UK.

I haven't had that and I bought my choc mini from qtan (when I was in the UK)...

VAT and handling charges seem to be almost randomly applied to parcels coming into the UK - I did have to pay on the Pure I got from the USA, and on some fans, but haven't had to pay on some CD's and other things...

There are various Pure's on amazon - but not a non-LED blue, which was what I wanted...

I'm after a NON-LED brown myself and there don't seem to be any.

There are still some Pokers w/ black switches and PBT keycaps on www.mechanicalkeyboards.com. It's very specific so it might not be what you want.

I think I've narrowed it down to the KBT pure 60% without backlighting, or the Poker.

I'm going to give it some time and see if I can find one to buy in the UK as importing is a right pain here.

There was a non-led version with brown switches from this guy but it seems to have gone now. There's a non-led red left though.

I'm tempted but I'm unsure whether reds would suit my typing style. I would just go for it but as I'm a student I have limited funds and so I don't want to buy something I might later regret.

Have you looked on mechanicalkeyboards.net? They are sold out of all their LED ones.I'm looking for a KBT Pure Orange LED (Brown Cherry MX).
