That was the same here... really hard to capture it without the keycaps becoming a ball of shiny light. Thats why I ended up taking pics in very low light.

By the way, we have been sent the OEM documentation today. It seems like they will be able to make 3 different keycap materials as well as full Cherry MX red boards after all! The OEM documents also list a more heavy version at 600g and the option for steel plate mounting. It seems very flexible!

They are discussing the price for the foreign market right now and will get back to us when there are news.

Price probably around $110. Have your ordered your own pallet yet with all the expensive options?

I definitely want to try cherry red.

Note that those are the manufacturer's options, I don't know (yet) which switch types the KBC Poker will offer.

Now where did I leave my Poker??? I'm sure I left it somewhere over here.



Oh wait..the IBM Bigfoot strikes again!



You can hide stuff under there...

lol, awesome.

What kind of a monster is that?

It's an IBM Model F terminal keyboard.

I like the threeway legs. Very neat.

I happen to have that particular F (5291-2?) lying in pieces in my basement, and the legs are fun to mess with. It's a lovely design, but I can't get the thing back together (Model F barrel plates...)

Back to the Poker, it would be super nice if caps lock became Fn and then use WASD for arrow keys. That would be killer as the they're right next to each other.

Wow... Made that one yourself did you? I think we have a video creator in our midst after all!

That is one hell of a teaser vid!

Hah, I'm really just a noob when it comes to video editing. I'm glad you guys like it anyway!

Its amazing what some wild guitar riffs can do.

Not my scale, so trustful information:

somebody that can reach the international sale manager?
"nvmetek@gmail.com"

maybe on business trip ?
seems i dont get any replies

I'll take your word on that since I can't read Chinese. Mine I KNOW are pretty good.

For the EU Authorities. Neither of these scales are used in illegal activities. I just like scales.

So after using the poker exclusively since getting it to review, I went back to a normal keyboard at work today. Suddenly the arrow keys feel really awkward and I am sad that my WASD is not working. Also page up/down feel weird now.

Overall this lets me conclude two things:

a) poker layout is pretty nice
b) humans adjust to stuff too fast, better keep swapping boards every day when you get one

I wish I could start my own keyboard site and get free sample keyboards.. But alas, people beat me to the punch.

The layout looks interesting. I may be in for a red one depending on keycaps with the GH group buy.

are these available in cherry red yet?

They should be. Imsto is currently holding a massorder for them over at geekhack. He lists red as available.

Yea, they are listed as being availabe in that group buy. The only thing is it looks like abs keycaps.

Any news on the plate mount options and/or PBT key caps in the works perhaps?

I'm not sure about the plate mount options, but I got some news about something else they are working on this morning. Aluminum cases! Was gonna save these news till later, due to being lazy. But here you go:
They look a bit rough, but they are straight from the factory.

oh snap! I must have it! I might have to retract my order and wait for this version.

Whoa- that looks pretty darn cool. now if you could get decent keycaps, aluminum, and maybe clear switches?

Ohhh aluminum with clear caps would be a nice look.
