Hehe, my Poker 2 with brown switches is here. (thanks to 0168257061)
Typing experience is pretty awesome so far. I dare say that I like it better than my Filco with blue switches. The browns are sooo quiet in comparison to blues. I applied 2 o-rings on the keycaps and it's so quiet that I don't think I'll annoy anyone typing on this. Will post a photo and video in the coming days to show how quiet it is after the mod. Also, thinking of selling my Filco since my gf doesn't really want to use it. Haha. |

QUOTE(Y.J.S @ Jun 19 2014, 07:01 AM) How much you're selling? Blue switch? I'm not sure if I'm selling it yet. It's pretty new you know (1 month+) so I'm probably gonna sell it at RM320+ (if I decide to sell it).QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Jun 19 2014, 12:15 PM) Reason why gf don't want use your filco? Lol! Filco is... neither fugly nor good looking in my opinion. She just doesn't type much at home to be honest. And blue switches are a nightmare to be used at the office. Filco too fugly? QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Jun 19 2014, 12:27 PM) Welcome to the pure tactile world. Get a set of thick, low-profile caps (IMSTO) and you'll be orgasming. Hah, thanks! I'm already rocking a set of DSA keycaps. Pretty orgasmic already if I may say so myself.Then you hear about this weird ergo clears thingy... ...and stop poisoning, man. I just got my *new* new keyboard for a day. Don't want to switch to another keyboard so soon.  |

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Jun 19 2014, 01:16 PM) Take your time. Took me a few months to start DiY-ing. Not looking at DIY-ing yet but would definitely love to explore that route in the future.QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Jun 19 2014, 01:18 PM) Maybe you should keep the Filco TKL for future use. Yeah, I think so as well. So far so good with the FN + arrow keys. It's still a very conscious and unnatural thing to press FN + arrows but I think I'll get used to it sooner or later lah.So, you biasa with the nav cursor keys of poker 2 already? Heard last time, you need cursor keys when navigate thru sublime text when writing in sublime text. |

QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Jun 19 2014, 01:43 PM)  Ah, that Fn, I use it darn lots in my office, for the function keys as well, just feel a bit frustrated sometimes due the fact I need to press at least 3 keys to work.Shift + arrow keys (Fn + W,A,S,D) Holding Shift > End (Fn + . [period]) > arrow keys, 3 keys with simultaneous reaching for the forth key. So, the finger is much busier than the normal TKL layout, but typing this is a breeze, so much gooding and feels with the MX Brown... in office.   |

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Jun 19 2014, 02:14 PM) Do you always use highlight/selection of line using command+shift+FN+arrow ? Yes, all the time. To select a whole line of text to copy. Or word by word with Shift+Alt+FN+arrow. |

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Jun 19 2014, 02:31 PM) See below xml code for remapping for keyremap4macbook. Okay, I just used this. Seriously good stuff bro. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna add Option to the settings as well. These code remapped FN+Command+Shift+WASD --> Left Control + WASD. For easy line highlight/selection use. I believed you seldom use your control, so, I remap it to control key. CODE <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::A, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen> <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::S, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_DOWN, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen> <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::D, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_RIGHT, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen> <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::W, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, KeyCode::CURSOR_UP, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen> |

QUOTE(ik3da @ Jun 19 2014, 03:35 PM) Hmm, my team recently moved to a new office spot and thus 'new' machines + keyboards. Got stuck with this crappy keyboard (can't really change since most spare keyboards they have are French layout) where it annoys me to the point that I am considering of bringing my Ducky (brown) to work... Poker 2. Small, light, portable. Any recommendation for an easy to carry around mech-keyboard for work? Anyone else doing custom USB cable business here apart from Justin? |

QUOTE(Lotus1109 @ Jun 19 2014, 04:23 PM) why ask so? Haha, no no. His prices are reasonable but the colours that I want are out of stock. I guess I could wait for him to restock but I would also like to explore other options as well. Will lurk there, thanks.Justin charges too expensive ar?  Try ask around Casing & Modification, they usually make custom cables for their cpu, not sure about they make mini usb or not |

QUOTE(faridr @ Jun 19 2014, 06:17 PM) I gave it a go for nearly 2 weeks, but end up back to keyboard with arrow keys. Navigating text editor with poker2 just seems unnatural to me Haha, yeah. Portability comes at the price of functionality. What happened to your Poker II? Did you sell it off after 2 weeks? But playing cs: go on it is good due to smaller size QUOTE(ntw @ Jun 20 2014, 12:38 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by yukihatsu: Jun 20 2014, 02:52 AM |

QUOTE(amirinz @ Jun 20 2014, 12:55 PM) So nice, the combination of the DSA profile with that 60%. Yeah, I find it much more appealing than pairing it with a TKL. QUOTE(faridr @ Jun 20 2014, 01:05 PM) Aristotle cherry clone, similar to blue, but in the process of making new one with cherry clear, poisoned by 016 Interesting. Are MX Clears similar to Browns but heavier? |

QUOTE(faridr @ Jun 20 2014, 02:48 PM) Suppose to be heavier and more tactile, joined hmwgbworld spring gb just incase I find it too heavy. Try asking 016 if you need mx clear. His price is better than ebay price SO tempting! Haha.I'm having trouble removing the switch housing and stem from my Poker II right now. Any tips on how to remove them? Most of the guides I saw online suggest that I use a pair of tweezers or paper clips to 'hook' into the 4 sockets around the switch but that didn't work for me. |

QUOTE(kaysa @ Jun 22 2014, 12:19 PM) Damn it, I think I know what they are up to now...... Haha. Too be fair ABS double shot lasts forever too. At least the legends won't wear off even though the keycaps will still shine.Signature Plastic just doesn't like to produce PBT because it is so good and will last very long time, if one buy a set of PBT, they won't need to buy another set for a very long long time, so they just produce ABS or ABS double shot, so keys will wear down and people must buy more again and again ! I guess most people buy new keycaps because they're sick of their current ones. Not because their current one is wearing off or anything. It's like buying clothes I think? Update: Does anyone have a red DSA Return key and a yellow Backspace key that they want to sell off? They are from the Squadron Skull set specifically.
