My wallet hates you. Ordered. And I don't even have a Poker...what's wrong with me?

Thanks for clarifying everything DanGWanG!

To install the red plate, you'll need to desolder and resolder all the individual switches.

Sorry!

Sherryton, can you please check your email and get back to me?

He didn't.
My question is still unanswered.

You just sent us an e-mail, but there aren't any questions.

What you will receive:

1. Aluminum Housing for Poker
Dark or Light Silver
2. 7 x Bronze weight
7 x Screw for weight
3. 4 x Bottom side silicon bump (Dark brown)
4. Aluminum inner frame (Red)

I wrote it on the OP. You must buy everything that is included. I'm just assisting this group buy from Korea.

I did, but I guess you missed it. I also sent you a PM. But anyways, I wanted to know if this color is exactly what you describe as 'light': If this is the lighter option, could you please change my order to light aluminum? Thanks

I just thought I could buy it separately if it's optional as you said earlier.

Sorry about my phrasing. I meant optional as in people can opt to use it or not.

Ah, ok. Thanks for clarification.
Is the plate mount the same size as the PCB?
Can I use it with the stock case?

I can't help you there yet. I'll try to clear this up through someone else.

BTW, what words are etched under the poker symbols on the back? I thought it was odd that these were crossed out.

I believe they aren't labeling them in production. That's why it has been crossed out.

crossed out because they wont be in the final product, i think it said "KBC Poker"

it's the initial of the guy who is producing the poker. and only the shapes will show up

Ah, cool. Minimalist. I like it.

Why do all the group buys I want in on happen when I have just moved house, so I'm very poor :'(

You move house too often.

Emailed :3

He's downgrading so he can afford more keyboard stuff

Is there any reason that this case wouldn't also work with a Pure? Would the mounting plate work? Is there any chance that they could add the extra mounting hole that's available on the Pure?

Cant afford this. What a shame i have to miss it.

How do I know when I need to pay in case I'm in the group of lucky users that can get one?

I don't see why not.

I thought of going for another aluminum keyboard case, but this baby is so HEAVY looking. Plus the add-on weights just about seals it for me.

I want one........ and I don't own a Poker, but have two spare Races sitting in the closet in which one would love a transplant.

I'm right there with you. I've been lusting after a 356 Mini ever since I found out about them, but those are so hard to find, I knew I had to have this when the chance came up, even though I sold my Realforce to cover it.

I didn't own a Poker either, I went out and bought one just so I'd have something to put in this bad boy. But your Race won't fit in there, it has a whole extra row of keys that the Poker doesn't have. I think it might be one column wider, too, but not sure off the top of my head.

This is where I'm stuck.......decisions......decisions

Oh damn, I knew it would of been way too easy for me. I've got so many keyboards, I don't know if buying a Poker will still be required. But I can't understand why these companies all sharing the main Cherry MX switches have so many different layouts for ...........no valid reason.

I bought a poker shortly after I ordered this case too.. lol. It's a beauty! I've been drooling over the pictures ever since I saw them. I've always been on the edge about getting a poker but after I saw this case, I knew I definitely wanted one. I don't know when I'll ever see a case like this again, so I had to go for it :3 Teehee.

Well, that depends on your definition of "valid". In the end, it's really the users that are driving the diversity. Some people really want an ultra-compact keyboard, maybe they like to travel with it, or maybe they just don't want the extra space cluttering up their desktop for keys they rarely use. Myself, I actually prefer the Race layout because I do use some of those keys, but I'm willing to make an exception for this case.
