Solid entry level board
Solid build quality for an older board, and a good entry point into higher quality boards. Tray mount was not for me, also not a fan of MX silent blacks, too mushy and spring weight was too much for my preferences.

Solid, classic, dependable 60% mech – a great first keeb
While there are newer alternatives, this lacks true programability (more like rebinding keys), and is a pricy tray mount, it's a solid classic 60% keyboard.

Best keyboard I own.
I got one in Black with Cherry silver switches. While I do prefer Gateron switches for their smooth travel compared to Cherry, this is hands down the best Keyboard that I own.
The LEDs are bright (alot brighter than the Anne Pro 2.0) this is important if you want front printed shine-through legends. The construction and quality is solid, I have not had a single problem other than a squeeky left shift but this disappeared as I used it. The 60% format is best for FPS gamers with a low sensitivity as it opens up alot more room for mouse movement.
Also looks great with these keycaps https://drop.com/buy/abs-top-shine-through-side-print-keycap-set?utm_source=linkshare&referer=86E89V

This keyboard is ok. Not sure why the prise for it this high though.
- Shipments was paid in like twice amount, for shipment handles and than local shippment and it was freaking a lot. Shipment was like 1/6 of prise for this keyboard.
- Spacebar has cranky sounds. This sound is to loud and frustrading.

I think overall this keyboard is awesome. The build is solid, the lightning is great and the keys sound satisfying.
However, there are 2 things that I found annoying (why 4 stars): • The space bar sounds weird, like significantly different than the other keys (not sure why and didn't bother to check) • I received a defect cable, imagine the heart skip when I plugged it in and nothing happened. (Maybe, just maybe, try another cable if yours doesn't light up at first)

TL;DR The Pok3r is fun to customize and AWESOME if you're a muscle memory kind of person. Once you get used to the layout it becomes blindingly fast but it's hard to type on anything else.
I have 3 Pok3r's and love them. Two are RGB which I got through Massdrop, one is unlit which I bought barebones because I didn't need more keycaps I was going to pull off and never use anyway.
Here is one of my custom Pok3r keyboards.
One thing a lot of people don't know about the Pok3r is that the right side FN/PN/CTRL/Shift can be assigned as arrow keys, if you really want them.
My only gripe is I don't like low profile cases. That is easy enough to change and totally personal preference though. On that note, if you want to use another low profile case, the RGB may sit a little higher than the edge (the thickness of the top PCB actually) because of its dual PDB design for the lighting.
I have not had any service issues in my two years of owning them although the RGBs needed the firmware upgraded out of the box for all of the features to be available.
Also makes a nice travel keyboard. On this one, I've added some slightly taller feet so it bridges over the laptop kb without touching the keys but I can still get full use out of the touchpad.

GrandMasterKaiIt looks like both of these boards can use the QMK software. I was able to program my Tada68 with the same layout using QMK so it should work for yours. There's also a QMK layout tool that makes it easy.

I bought this cute little thing. I got the white one with Cherry Mx Black Switches. I've had it for almost a year now and I continue to use it. I enjoy it so much I had to get one of those cat paw keycap because it just suits it so well!! It's a great keyboard for have for night time usage. Every color is so vibrant! You might want to lube the stabilizers but other than that I love it.
