Most Affordable fully Programmable 60%?
« on: Tue, 28 April 2015, 11:22:24 »
I have been faithful  to my Poker 2.  New caps,  a nice aluminum case...  But I want more.   There's something missing from the relationship.  I want programmability...  I  want Bluetooth....  I want sparkles.....

I'm also a cheapskate, otherwise I'd already have a Gon.

What are my gateway drugs after the Poker?

Just replace the pcb. These options are in the $50 range, you need to add the switches ($40).

Buy a NerD 60 PCB from GON with the bluetooth option (buying a plate is optional). Use your Poker II case. Sell the Poker II internals (probably won't get much for it but it'll offset some of the cost).

Problem solved =]

If you want the plate (many say that you really need it), there is a gb starting the 5th of may. 20 Euro delivered. Ansi and iso.

Do these options have comparable programming capababilities?  I'm curious since I'm quite clueless about programming :)  Also are wireless keyboards through bluetooth a thing?  Any disadvantages to that ?

Unless you lie down with your keyboard or sth, bluetooth/wireless just bugs things in general

Keyboard is generally a non-moving peripheral, so wires are nice

plus, can you sleeve a bluetooth signal? I think not.

I hate bt keyboards, because it's often difficult to obtain these things: security, simplicity, ease of configuration, bios access, autonomy, stability.

My logitech di novo edge is bluetooth and works perfectly.   The battery has lasted without replacement for 6+ years.   It lasts about a week on a single charge and is fantastic on the desk or in the living room.

This is based on pre-bluetooth le and is just about the nicest keyboard I have ever owned.

The anti bluetooth message is bs.

You really charge your keyboard once a week??? I was sure that it lasted about a month, and also that it seemed too much. Go figure.   :eek:

You will encounter problems that I will never have....  :))

I won't talk about the security of your 6 years old keyboard. Someone could know where you live  :))
