Vortex Pok3r | Not bad for 9 years of daily use
r/mechanicalkeyboards was basically the custom Pok3r sub for a long time. I bought a used Pok3r a couple years ago for $30 and have it as a back-up. Still solid devices. The most noticeable difference is how much we were going for the bezel free look then.

I used a Pok3r for a couple years, then gave it to a coworker. Great board. Was relatively inexpensive too, IIRC.

Professors gave me a nice keyboard. Cleaning people stole it.
(e.g pok3r) Holy shit I still remember my Vortex Pok3r that I ordered with Cherry MX Blue and came with Cherry MX Black (retooled) and basically kickstarted my keyboard hobby (because the Amazon rainbow keycaps were super tight so the G came out with the switch so I had to repair it, and that did it

Love me some muted tones
Honestly its been great! I have been using Vortex keyboards for years. Pok3r and TAB lines specifically. The build process was fun with lots of different configuration options with the 5 foams, different gasket configurations, etc. Big fan so far.

Vortex Pok3r | Not bad for 9 years of daily use
Oh man this takes me back. I had a Pok3r with an aluminum case that I dailied for a good 5-6 years. Thing was bullet proof. It was my first mech, and also my first “Oh my God I hate Reds” experience.

Work + gaming wireless keyboard: Keychron K2 HE or something cheaper?
Pro: Keychron are the only ones with HE+QMK. Con: Keychron seem to be going through some kind of crisis. They have QA problems and people are reporting awful customer support.. Other options: Monsgeek TMR boards. Fun60 Ultra TMR and M1 V5 TMR Pro: Can mix and match magnets and conventional switches.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - April 04, 2025
there are still boards that support split space but apparently this never became that popular they've been "replaced" by magnet switches (HE switches, see Wooting), which actually offer significant advantages for gaming (up to the point certain functions had to be banned) the pok3r keyboard and it's

Average user experience
yeah maybe collectible was the wrong word. I meant that I collect keyboards for my own enjoyment. I've got a few gems like a limited edition redox from falbatech and the CM Storm quickfire TK, the logitect g710+ and the logitech g910+ with it's weird ass switches as well as a pok3r and a hhkb (the h
