Oh ya, almost forget that. He want it white, and he want it PBT.

Poker2 fit in nicely.

+ if he tak suka, I sure there are takers for it already, LOL.

That is known as keycool 84.

As always, chinaboards with their QC problem. The board - PCB, case and so on are top notch, but the details like switches, and stabilizers may not be as refined.

2 shot is the printing method, while pbt is the material, different thing.

Noppoo Choc Mini.

BTW, why settle for 84 keyboard? That layout is your most preferred?

Cause all 84 kb out there are using non-standard layout (and by non-standard, it is seriously non-standard).

But out of all, I think keycool is consider the most standard one among all 84 keyboards.

What do you mean by "race" and "white"?

Do White Poker2 fit your taste/need?

Cause it is quite a decent and sexy keyboard. + I sure it can be easily let go off here if you don't like it.

Not sure if local will bring in the white poker, need ask Cyntrix for details.

Eitherway, since you are not hurry, can wait till next year you back then decide. When is your friend coming back?

That one is plu, not plum.

And the reputation of their boards aren't great so far.

In short, looking for chinaboards, find those oem under PLUM, ikbc, keycool and may be HPE.

Filco got tkl also.

He in EM, taobao shipping fee quite insane one.

Currently only ikbc/vortex/deck(they all use the same manufacturing facilities I think) got doubleshot pbt.

And the only available one out there in the market now is the italic fonts one as you seen on ikbc f-104.

The color options is quite many though, but I don't think there are black on white (as like in your link) one, be it side or front print.

Actually, for some reasons, those china review tak boleh pakai one. Sometimes good thing they frame it till bad, bad thing tok kok as if it is the best.
I only trust their pictures.

Sounds ok. Not exceptional cheap but still ok price.

You can never go wrong with poker, white one some more.

If you tak suka, you can easily add a hammer case and like it let go it in garage sale.

kyrmian, after encounter through some pictures of the Keycool 87II on the net, I start wondering if the one you get is gen II or gen I. Cause so far I see those spacebar on gen II, it indeed looks like compatible with other brands. Hope you can clarify and double confirm with us the answer. Cause if the keycool 87II is indeed having a standard spacebar, then it had a great potential to be recommended and should slot in nicely in the gaps between Shine3 and Shine Zero. Thx.

Gen 1:

Spacebar spacing:


Gen 2:

Free gift (particularly those marvel/dc logo keycaps):

Because they originally using the Leopold standard, and later adopt to normal standard. Hence their spacebar it made such way to be compatible with both.

The problem now is whether the spacing on the Keycool 87II is compatible with normal standard spacebar or not.

May be one day I should buy a spacebar that is specially made for the Keycool backlit to verify this myself once and for all, LOL.

Why don't we have both others?

If you looking for tenkeyless, actually there are a lot of nice and cheap Chinaboards.

Yup, now the question remaining is whether the gen2 spacebar is universally compatible standard spacing or another propriety non-standard spacing.

Cause abang kyrmian said he got a Keycool backlit (assumebly gen2) and the spacebar is non standard. So that make me wondering if his unit is gen 1 instead.
