Good find but they only offer reds and blacks

on the right, right under the price.

I thought I was getting a good deal jumping on that $95 offer from techkeys.us. Well, I guess I did get a blank spacebar and a set of poker mods with it.

Good deal!

If they had clear switches the site would crash.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 25 July 2013, 23:40:54 »

Not a bad deal. I think mine was around $125 shipped right when they were available.

Actually not really. Most people don't like stock clear switches, they're just too heavy. Modding to ergo clear is not as easy on poker 2 as it would have been with Poker I, simply because there is a plate.

Shipping is 9.50$ for US, 10.50$ for Canada and not that much elsewhere from what I saw.

How does this work? It says 99.99$ + 16$ shipping on my right, but commit to join says it's $79.99..

The amount of people who have committed to buy brings it down the $99.99 it's currently at (7 people committed at this time). But the lowest possible price it could go down to is $79.99, but that's if 15 people commit, which means if you commit right now, you'd be the 8th, making it only 7 more commitments needed for it to become the $79.99 price.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

I'll probably pick one up if it reaches 80. Thats a fantastic deal for a poker with reds.

nullptr · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 26 July 2013, 12:27:17 »

It's down to $80 now, too bad it doesn't have blues or greens. I love the design, but I'm really on the fence about blacks having only tried clicky keyboards.

There is a poker 2 with greens?

No, but that would be nice. I know they have one with blues, but for that kind of money I'd rather add a few bucks more and get a Filco TKL.

When did the reds sell out?

This is a sad day, I didn't realise they'd sold out and just went to try and buy one.

That's not exactly a group buy in the same sense as most group buys on geekhack.

They are literally selling the only stock Vortex has left at the moment.

only blacks and reds anyway, also no alt spacebar

Still better to get one from i3oilermaker

Yea, still the best price for international shipping as well... Think Qtan's eBay is the only viable option.

have massdrop ever been know to get more stock in by any chance?

I was in the mass drop for this.

In the mail, I received a black space bar. That's it.

Is the rest coming later?

I got the whole keyboard, but interestingly enough, no additional spacebar.

I don't think I remember them saying it would be sent separately.

Should I wait or reach out to massdrop?

I would go ahead and contact them to see what is going on. It's possible they got mixed up.

BliTzKiN · « **Reply #38 on:** Wed, 21 August 2013, 07:39:17 »

I dont get why they're doing the mailing separately though, that just sounds like more shipping cost for them. Also, I've actually seen people receiving broken spacebars because they only come in bubble mails.

Even so, sad I missed out on this, was really starting to get into 60% boards

I guess I should mention that the only reason they were sending spacebars separately is because vortex only included it in the demo product they sent to massdrop. They said that they don't include it in the consumer version, but massdrop convinced them to send them out to us.

But if they shipped it together, they could have saved allot on shipping.

That's very true, but they had sent out the Reds before they found out that the extra spacebars weren't included.

I'm waiting on my spacebar since I was part of the first batch of reds. I've come to accept to enjoy my feeling, however.

I had one with reds, maybe why i didn't know about a spacebar. My keycaps are replaced with some dvorak PBT, but for aesthetic reasons, i would prefer a black spacebar.

One problem with PBT: its more brittle and less tough than ABS, so it can't absorb as much energy before it breaks. The destructive "hammer test" shows this quite well.
