Come to think of it.. I think it was much longer back =.=. Maybe 15+ years

Yeah I guess its not possible to get a new one. But maybe a used one, and i can make a project to restore it back =D

Anyone with experience in getting from Taobao before? =D

Thanks all!

Both has its strengths, but the normal layout of RF has an easier learning curve than the HHKB .
Heck even my Poker which is 'more standard' than the HHKB, already is giving me quite a learning curve. Need time to get used to the missing Del/Ins cluster and the F row.

Anyone knows whether WASD Keyboards ship to malaysia?

Interested to buy some of their MX switches =D

Taiwan is from PCHOME?
China from Taobao?

Ripster, can I throw a challenge to you?
Convert the Poker into a wireless/BT keyboard with as little damage as possible to the stock hardware.
Is it doable?

My poker is itching to be used as a truly pick and go keyboard

Pity

Yeah the controler is fixed. It would be something that I can experiment on if GH's group buy for the POKER DIY kit allows us to purchase only the board .
The race is just too expensive and I dont need the mega bling.. Btw, if i were to use the Race's maxtrix on another controller, that would mean I would lose the FN layer correct?

I've seen this one. He chopped it up and turned it into TKL too. Good mod, but unfortunately i want a light travel keyboard, like the poker, and i definately cant chop a model M up as well as he did.. so yeah >.<

How much did you paid for the Cherry font on white for? PBTs? =D
So tempted!

Serious mecha KB users usually will steer clear from Razer's offerings..
Some will condone CM Storm Quick rapid though because it seems to be from the OEM of Filcos..

If you want the bling, get Ducky, if you want serious quality, get Filco

I'd love some parts and keycaps if you can spare the space
Oh and some Cherry MX switches too

Cannot tahan not using mechanical kb at home. But lazy to bring my poker back from work all the time

Looking for a cheap blue switch tenkeyless kb
Anyone have any to let go?

Already PMed him but no reply , so scouting for other options =D

darn.. abit pricey
i was thinking of buying bare MX switches and own keycaps
only have to add my own lanyard

I was thinking of doing this too
I'll tumpang some switch from WASD then i want to try print some keycaps too

Injection molding will cost you at least RM5-10k to get started.
And that isnt including the part's cost (material might be cheap, but injection supplier rental isnt cheap unless you run into the tenth of thousand's sets of keycaps.

Easiest way is still milling for low qty job, But you cant have good texture with milling. Unless you apply sandblast as secondary process.
Still, it isnt as good as a moulded piece.

But then again for keychain usage, milling is the best way

I can see lots of manufacturing members here .

It is possible to make a mold and inject many parts, but expect similar designs if you want it cheap. Else, there is no other way but to get from WASD or the likes.

Gonna get my hands on a Filco TKL finally!
I can get rid of this torturing stock membrane in my house. Reds at work and blues at home! Having the Poker with a non mounted PCB, cant wait to try the solidness of the Filco.

Want to start changing keycaps, but funds are short now >.<

6th of august is the deadline to tag along stuff from both Kaysa and rao2100!

This weekend imma sort my order list

He's getting stuff from WASD

If can, dont try to skimp on getting low quality mecha boards. Else you'll just want to upgrade in future .

Get Filco TKL

I've gotten my Filco Tenkeyless Blue switch today, and man, the feeling is totally different than my Poker.

I'll write a more detailed comparison soon (after bringing back my Poker from work), but right off the bat, the solidness of a metal backed keyboard is really assuring. The Filco is tons better than the Poker in terms of that. And blue switch is still nicer for typing compared to reds (at least for me).

Compared to the the Coolermaster QRF, Im glad i opted for the Filco instead. That overbranding and possibly the tearing and deteriorating of the rubber coated case kind put me off.

Now, just.need.key.caps >.<
