I was hoping for an opinion from you guys. I know the technical aspects.

I'm waiting on delivery of that exact same keyboard. Have you found any alu cases for the Poker yet? I heard that only 15 were made and they are in very high demand at the moment on Geekhack.

In my opinion, people get PBT keycaps because they don't wear out as fast as ABS keycaps and they have much more tactility (as in you can feel the roughness on the key itself).

I'm getting them personally because I don't want to have my keys shiny after a month of use.

I don't have that keyboard, just the keycaps. There's a new revision of the Poker so I'm waiting on that before I do anything.

and dare I ask if the Blackwidow Ultimate is any good?

partybear · 4th February 2012, 12:11 PM

Check out what I got today. It is like new and is very cool to type after using a origonal g15 keyboard for so long. They keys feel alot taller then the g15 so it will take some time to get used to.

On this keyboard is there any reason why the spacebar and bottom row of letters and the enter key stop working every now and then? It is plugged in using the ps2 port but I also tried a usb adaptor and it does the same thing.

It is probably a fault with the board but I thought I would ask if its a easy fix. Haviong said that it isn't to bad I typed this whole message on it.

Caps on the controller might be going. Thought that that problem was particular to the M2 though.

Both are hit-and-miss quality wise but each I have bought and haven't had a problem. Both good boards IMO.
