How you getting on with them man?

Getting used to the Blacks and I'm finding I really enjoy them. At first I thought they were too stiff, but now I think they're just right.

I'm still going to build up a Poker with Reds to get them a go, but given my experience with Blacks, I don't know that I'm going to enjoy them as much now. We'll see I suppose!

After I decided to sell my KBC Poker, I just wanted to show it before it's gone.



The only initial 'ingredient' left is the original PCB.

• KBC Poker PCB
• Stickered MX ErgoClear Switches, Clear for Space
• Stainless steel plate which allows to open switches
• Costar stabs
• CNC aluminium case anodised in gunmetal
• black engraved PBT Poker keycaps
• Weight: ca. 1kg

More photos in spoiler:

That is one beautiful board. Excellent job!

BTW, is that an IMSTO, or OneProduct case?

It's an imsto case from his second GB he did.

What tray is this?

My poker with vintage cherries and some color with new GH fundraiser caps.

It is nice, I prefer myself a simplistic approach for my Poker, It is still very hard for me to justify the expenses required to "upgrade" the tray, plate, switches, and turn a 100 bucks kb into a +500 one I might be dismissed from DH because of the comment, though.

I really do not see a good reason for a keyboard to be larger than a Poker.

Perhaps when one actually uses his keyboard for working?

Pls could you tell me where you got from these "Strg" & "Alt Gr" keys (white on black)?

LOL, well I use it to type my papers, but I enjoy it so much that maybe that does not count as actual work.

Those are PBT double shots, but I do not know the manufacturer. Let me see if I have some left overs, if so I may offer them for sale, or maybe a trade, let me know if you are interested.

What you would say is the value of this sexy Poker?

Some spray painted keycap experiments on my poker:

Those colors look great. What is the texture like?

A little smoother than the SP double you see in the picture, but they do sometimes feel a tiny bit sticky. Some of them seem to also pick up dirty faster. But I think it depends on how well the finish turned out, which since I am a noob at spray painting varies a lot from key to key atm.

Alu plated poker by George.Yoda, on Flickr

Revamped my poker this afternoon

That looks fantastic George. Really, really clean. What caps are those?

Looks really good with a low profile case.
But it's not an alu plate, it's stainless steel

Yeah, the wording is bad I'll change it, I mean a plated poker in an alu case

Thanks

A plate flush with the border, that's the way to do a tray style case.

My poker.

Built up my first Poker last weekend. It's a DIY Poker PCB with MX-Red switches that have been lubed and stickered. Lubed the stabilizers as well and then mounted on a red aluminum plate and installed in a Duck Poker case. Key caps are Klaxon (RA Clone).

Damn I love modding and fiddling around with poker

+ MX Ergo Clear mods
+ Klaxon 2.0 (RoW base and WoR mods)
+ Steel plate
+ Painted default case

Your Poker looks amazing Shinryuu! What did you use to paint your case and how did you do it?

Thanks mashy! I sanded the whole case carefully and I just used a normal plastic spray primer and red spray I found from a nearby hardware store

Poker with keycaps from the recent RA2.0 clones keycaps Group Buy. Very happy with the results.
