Pok3r

(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

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.

The Monsgeek M1 family are splendid, as is the MK pro 75 from Microcenter's house brand Inland. The M1 has better stabs, the Inland has a much better gasket mount. I would have said that you can't go wrong with Keychron but I have been seeing reports of abusive customer support lately. The Yunzii AL

Ranked Nova N60 ISO layout is a surprisingly nice cheap board. There are a number of universal hotswap PCBs with ISO support. YMDK DK61, DKKB DK6064, Y&R 6095. Probably the YMDK is the best option: you can get the DK61 configured for ISO and it will work in any Pok3r-compatible case like the Tofu 60

That case will work with any Pok3r/GH60 board. I recommend the Y&R 6095 or YMDK DK61/YKKB DK6064 (which seem to be different runs of the same design). I have installed a Y&R 6095 into that exact case, but returned it to Amazon because I didn't like the low walls that exposed the switches on the side

Get a YMDK walnut or rosewood case. Wood makes for a legitimate percussion instrument. https://ymdkey.com/products/gh60-60-wood-case-gk64-gk61-60-pok3r-dz60-yd60mq-xd64 POM or PC plate. And 1mm O-rings and 8mm-10mm case screws for a burger mount.

I would get something cheap to play around with and get an idea for what you want. Apart from specific brands that provide alternate plates and things there's not much mix-and-match capoability except for the specific case of 60% "GH60" or "Pok3r" boards that have a standard tray mount and USB port

What are you competing in/against? Just got a used Vortex Pok3r and I'm impressed with this dinosaur. Built like a tank and I'm heavy handed. Identical layout to your 1st pic. Cherry brown switches on mine. Cons: soldered switches so it depends what you find, V1 and V2 didn't have RGB. Pros: heavy,

OK, this isn't a $500 build but I put this one together for about $150 and just love it. It's a 60% with a minila layout that gives you arrow keys back, split backspace, zebrawood case, built from parts from different vendors. The wooden case makes it a legit percussion instrument. I started out wi

I'm on Pok3r right now! colemakDH, all black with no legends. Good board. But looking for a split now.
