Hi I have a Poker II but sometimes I miss the arrowkeys. Any keyboard to suggest at about RM3xx (probably TKL) that is locally available? Looking for something minimalistic like the Poker II but must be available in MX blues. Prefer if they come with stock PBT keycaps as well.

Also, maybe someone can suggest an easy fix for the Poker II arrowkey problem that works for them? (instead of having to hold the function key)

You can press fn + spacebar to toggle the wasd to arrow keys instead of holding fn key.
Press fn+spacebar again to toggle it back to wasd.

This is what I do currently but I prefer having the arrow keys.

Or u can flash the firmware to make the right alt, fn, pn, ctrl key become arrow keys.

How do I do this?

Thanks guys!

Have been looking online for this but still have not been able to find a guide as to how to do this.

Can anyone help?

I think if I can map my right alt key as my fn key and right shift, fn, pn and right ctrl as my arrow keys, I would be mighty pleased!

Hi guys. Gave my Vortex Poker II a decent chance for a month and have learnt to “live” with the missing arrow keys and function keys but I’d rather fully enjoy the keyboard. Tbh, I don’t really use the arrow keys that much but once in a blue moon I need to do some spreadsheet work etc and miss the arrow keys. Also sometimes when I make typos, I want to use the arrow keys to move to the wrongly keyed in character and the arrow keys are just not there so I have to use the mouse instead. Requirements as below:

MUST - TKL layout with standard keycaps
MUST - Cherry MX Blues
Preferred - PBT keycaps
Preferred - Minimalistic look, similar to the Vortex Poker II (love the look!)

Budget RM400.

Thanks!!!

If don't want second hand Filco Majestouch 2...
Then need buy from oversea like taobao. sad.gif
Or waiting for ComingSoon™ Filco to enter Malaysia market, need a lot of patience.

Or else look for other choices other than Filco TKL. 👓
