Poker 2 Case Question
« on: Sun, 02 March 2014, 08:36:10 »
Hello, I am new to geekhack. However, I have been lurking for a while. I had a quick question about how to open up the poker 2 keyboard. I pulled off the keys and was wondering how I would go about taking the plate and PCB mechanism out of the case. I took the three screws holding it in place but still have been unable to remove the keyboard from the case. Is there a trick to removing it or do I just need to pull a little harder? Thanks for the help.

There are more than 3 screws! 7 in total I believe, one in the middle, 2 on each side, 2 under the space bar

Remove the Caps Lock, Tab, G, H, \ and Enter keys.

Also remove the space bar and the right Alt key.

If your screwdriver is not too thick, you will not need to remove the Shift keys.

Now you can see all the screws. There are 6 of them.

I recommend using a magnetic screwdriver for easy removal of the screws. Be very careful to use the right size. If you wear the screw tops, you will have a hell of a time removing them.
