Poker X
« on: Fri, 03 January 2014, 23:50:13 »
Does anyone know where you can still buy a Poker X? I've been looking but can't really find it anywhere. I was going to post a WTB thread but I am too new of a member. Anyone with any knowledge on this would be awesome!

Yeah that's what I figured, but is there a Poker 2 that is PCB mounted?

Do you know what I lose by having a plate mounted board as opposed to a PCB? Can you still change the spring/stems of keys?

You have to desolder it to change stuff

unless you get a custom plate

but then you have to desolder, apply plate, and then resolder, which you may or may not like

but for feelings plate is def better

Okay so it seems my best bet is to say screw it and get the poker 2. Odds are that I wont be removing the stems or springs themselves but i will be wanting to wire for leds and im sure theres a thousand guides out there on how to do it on a Poker 2. Everyone says the plate is better for feeling so I really dont see a downside to getting the Poker 2 over the Poker X anymore.

to wire leds you just put it through the hole in the front of the switch and then solder on the backend. pretty simple

Some do prefer PCB mount switch over plate mount as it expresses switch feeling differently.

Also you can buy backlit poker 2 now.

I'm on my phone or else I'd provide links, but there have been a few write ups on adding LEDs to non backlit poker 2 if you just want a project.

Please keep in mind that Poker X direction keys are on the right keys whilst poker II is on ASWD keys. Plus the thick PBT caps of Poker II is very nice addition. I highly recommend you buy the thick PBT version of Poker II and then customise

What switch are you looking for? I have some NIB Pokers around, would be willing to trade it for a Poker2 with Blacks...

I'm having a really hard time deciphering this manual. What's the sequence to set arrows to WASD?
