poker

Thanks,

I've actually seen that link before posting here, I've already sent an email to SUPPORT@duckychannel.com.tw this morning, and haven't received any reply yet.

i guess your best option is to wait for their reply for a couple more days or you can keep sending them one email daily haha!

Upon googling & browsing via lelong,vortex pokerII is about 70 ringgit lesser than a ducky mini.. Between this 2,which will be a good buy in term of build quality,price,software support?

i've never own any 60 boards before.
but just in case if no one answers your question (plus i have some free time now)
here's my thoughts about these 2 boards:-

Poker 2
Pros
- PBT keycaps
- comes with extra RGB keycaps
- a lot of custom cases built for poker/poker2 board
- allows LED mod

Cons
- doesn't comes with LED backlight
- no fancy backlight mode
- Enjoy Your Feeling text on spacebar (but i'm not sure if there's extra blank spacebar given anymore)

Ducky Mini
Pros
- 2 colour LED backlight
- fancy lighting effect
- aluminium case (though this is subjective to individual user's preference)

Cons
- no custom case (yet)
- abs coated keycaps (can fade/rubbed off with excessive use)

Additional comparison
1) Bezel Thickness
- this is subjective because some ppl like thin bezel (poker 2) and some like thick bezel (ducky mini)
2) Casing
- this is also subjective because Ducky Mini comes with Aluminium-plastic-aluminium layered casing but at the same time, as far as i know, there's no custom cases available for ducky mini, yet, there might be in future but that is uncertain.
- the after market cases for 60% boards mostly are compatible with poker 2 but that of course will cost you more money especially if it's full aluminium case
(but seriously, full alu on 60% boards are real sexy to use and to look at)
3) USB port positioning
- the Ducky mini's USBMini port is located on the LEFT-TOP side of the board and Poker 2 is on the TOP-LEFT side of the board. this really depends on individual preference as to how they like their cable laid out.

That's my initial thoughts about it, there might be inaccuracy about it which i might not have known, if there is, i apologize for that.

poker better if you want to mod the keyboard for example you can get after market aluminium case install leds in the future.
as for ducky its comes with dual colour leds and it has a aluminium top plate which looks nice.
both quality is ok but poker is coming out with their new poker 3 very soon.
if you buying from heavyarms their KBP Paradise V60 Mini 60% is the same with poker with different branding thats all

My first keyboard was a poker, it is definitely what you need.
Pbt keycap is a plus, lots of customizability
If you need LED, the led holes and resistor are there, all you need is just to buy some LED and solder.

my first love

just a reminder poker 3 is coming soon

Poker 3
You sure you want that low profile case?

A bit off topic, is the soldering stuff (iron,pump,etc.) selling at lelong reliable?

boleh bah kalo ko.

if you wanna be serious in keyboards, might as well invest in the good stuff at one go.

Buy Hakko. No ragrats

I think is DCS Family, OEM Profile. It's not LOW PROFILE I think.

Poker 3 is using low profile case.
The keycaps profile is OEM.
kthxbye.

Note: OEM is OEM, DCS is DCS.

rugrats?

no one seems to endorse edsyn or other brand ah? semua hakko kaki

Hakko FX-888D the most peng leng ceng solder station liao.
