what's the difference between the vortex poker 2 and ikbc poker 2?
*
both are the same product.

Vortex is the company that develops the keyboard, and it was run by KBC members... well, as I know, KBC is some sort of keyboard community IINM..

so, some ppl call it Vortex Poker, some call it KBC Poker..

Yeah, what he said.
Please don't lube clicky switches. More often than not, it's a waste of time.
You'll loose the click if you can't apply the lube as thin as possible. At that rate, will you even feel the smoothness?
*
I've watched WhiteFireDragon's switch lubing video on Youtube, so it's is not recommended to lube clicky switch huh?

even lubing the side rails or springs?

i personally haven't tried thick pbt yet...one of my friend just got his poker 2 yesterday...will go find him one day to try out the poison lol

but why i prefer PBT over ABS anytime is due to the fact that PBT is supposedly have way higher durability compared to ABS. it's always a turn offs to see my spacebar having shining effect of the left side (i use left thumb for my spacebar)
*
when you own countless keyboards and GB caps, it doesn't matter if it is ABS or PBT anymore

last time a newbie(?) came in and ask pointers, he straight buy $500++ punya custom keyboard. lulz.
y u want it? u got RSI or something? or just wanna try?
*
yeah, particularly my right wrist. Now I can no longer use mouse as it hurts a lot if I do so.

Switched to track ball and used by left hand.

it saddens my that my PC gaming life suddenly came to an end... I wonder if those vertical mouse would do the trick or not. eg: Evoluent vertical mouse / Posturite Penguin

anyway, typing on normal mech kb is till OK for me

I had RSI too. Switch to Kinesis Advantage and trackball mouse save my pc/gaming life.
I used Ergodox and Kensington Slimblade trackball (sometime Logitech M570). This 2 are best combo for me now.
What trackball you using? You should seriously consider Ergodox. Choose a light switch like Red or Clear (Swap the spring to lighter one)

I got a Evoluent vertical mouse (Big, Right hand) sitting in the drawer. Not using it because I am totally fine with Trackball now. Also, the OSX driver somehow conflict with 1 of my app. I might need to try it since it got newer/updated version (15 Aug 2013)
*
I'm currently using logitech trackman marble. Well, I think this is the only trackball I could find in Malaysia other than M570.

I'm looking forward to import a Slimblade, but still I miss gaming with a mouse..

Topre is the most expensive.. not necessary the best as it depends on your personal liking

No.. costar stabs is never best.. wait until you get one, and you want to change keycaps then you know. But it's all up to your preference.

If that's the case, seems like bling bling enough for you.
*
other than a pain in the @ss when changing caps, I think costar stabs are pretty good to type on as it doesn't feel as mushy as cherry stabs, especially for MX Blue switches
