It's not about the size! It is about how you use it!

Btw, I think the aluminum case will be an addon, not a separate poker mode. I'll ask to confirm.

Does it fit over the existing case or something? Or is it screwdriver party time?

The Poker case is virtually diassembled in 5 seconds, since its just the pcb screwed on top of a plastic plate with three screws. I assume you just replace the plastic case with the aluminum one.

Too late, I'm already imagining a matroyshka keyboard with each shell fancier and more expensive than the last.

A Poker with an aluminum case would be pretty cool.

Would be awesome though. Black keys with a Macbook-ish shade of aluminium =)

I'm thinking on getting in on the mass order from Geekhack for the Poker mostly just to try out red cherries. I just don't know about the ABS caps in the GH order and I have my doubts about the layout. I'm thinking that I would rather wait for the roumored Leopard with reds.

Leopard? Leopold? Two very different things

A red leopard would be scary as hell.

Yeah, I'm not fond of the Poker layout but I do really want to try cherry reds.

Layout is fine once you give it some time to grow on you. I love it by now.

I'm not sure. I sent an email to my KBC guy, I'll keep this topic updated once he gets back to me.

Hum, it sounds that the KBC Poker will have a lot of options and as I can see there is a good one.

It's probably much easier when you can actually touch-type...

The alu cases will be expensive though.

Yes, 6kro over USB, apparently nkey over PS2, but I did not try it.
