Hello from Finland!
« on: Thu, 27 November 2014, 23:26:23 »
Hi all!

I'm Kalle from Finland and I'm keyboard, USA-car, rockabilly enthusiast. I've had this Ducky Shine 3 TKL for few months now, I thought a lot between Poker II and TKL and got the Ducky. I made a mistake and now there's The Poker coming from Amazon.de. Finnish layout is almost a must, and because I can still just buy it somewhere I'll definitely get it in ISO. ;D

I don't know should I sell my Ducky when the Poker arrives, I have on my second computer a Sidewinder X4 and that could be on sale either.. Ducky could get more profit but.. I don't know yet.. :p

I'll post today my desktop, rig and the Ducky. See you on the media site soon! :D

How can it be true :confused: I'm glad these are not popular here, so I can be a strange with funny, small and expensive KB :))

Welcome to GH!

i think rowdy was making a joke because Poker's are very common lol

Personally i think you'd be better off keeping the Ducky because you could end up not liking the 60% layout, at the same time selling it would force you do use the Poker

Yea, it's common for example here on GH but meant like here in Finland on generally among PC users. :)) Most people have heard about mechanical KB's but no more, and when you show this little Poker they're never even dreamt about that cool KB could exist. :))



I had the TKL Ducky but I didn't like the TKL size, it was way too big. And I've had also full KB's like Sidewinder X4. :-X Oh my, I'm just happily sticking with the Poker. :-* Don't worry about messing with Duckys anymore, maybe old Mini but it's Poker variant anyways. :))

No joke, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I tend to get to this new members section once a week or so, and it seems that about half of the new members have a Poker keyboard.

From that I suspect that they are either very well advertised, or enough people have one that word of mouth gets around quickly.

Either way they are great keyboards :)

Yea, no problem. Got the joke, but I had to say what I had in my mind. :)) Yea, Pokers are very common but I think it has a reason why they are common, as you said because they are great KB's. :))

Interesting. Maybe they are good boards too, but the 60% layout FTW. :cool:
