Vortex Pok3r Giveaway sponsored by Massdrop

I've only ever owned laptops, and most often used their in built keyboard for gaming. I do not feel the need for an excessively large keyboard, or even a keyboard that obstructs 60% of my desk space. The function keys are a necessity for some game (Arma 2) but they can be reconfigured I'm sure. This looks like a great keyboard, crossing my fingers!!

I love Tenkeyless boards (87-key). They are a nice compromise for a college student with little available desk space. I like having a compact board for when I go to LANs or when I have to go away from my main setup for a long period of time (i.e. holidays)

I think the Razor Chroma and the Corsair K70sizes are perfect for what I need. I thought about the smaller Corsair rgb but I like having the Number pad (although it would be something I'd be willing to try). The K95 is too big.

My favorite layout is dependent on use case. For work, as a programmer who often has to use numbers for obvious reasons, I need a full layout w/ number pad. For gaming? 60%, get everything out of my way.

I like a full 104 key because the numpad I type faster on it 

But I can use a 60% if required

I like to have a full size keyboard with extra keys for macros because I use them. The K95 RGB in Browns is my favorite right now even though the software is kinda crap.

Honestly the 60% form factor is all around my favorite size as i a travel quite frequently and it is a boon the have a proper keyboard with my (can't quite comment on the durability on any mechanical 60% keyboards when travelins, still using a cheap membrane one for that but i'd assume that it's be very simmilar)

I would love immensely to have a 60% keyboard (and I guess then that it would be my favorite size). Was eyeing up the Poker II but stuff happened and my money had to go somewhere else.

I have only ever had a full size keyboard so really don't know if i would miss the number pad etc. Suppose my computer tasks are needing it less and less these days.

I definitely have to go with the regular 104 key layout. Without the numpad, I am a worthless,

Hi, i think tenkeyless will be the best balance for space and ergonomic, i like it because i rarely use the numpad. still feel 80% keyboard are slightly too big to carry around.

currently own a CM quick fire rapid-i and a ducky shine 4 fire edition, will be great if can have a 60% keyboard to carry with me all the time.

Awesome giveaway

I prefer mini-keyboards or 60% mostly because I bring my keyboard everywhere with me and its super convenient to walk around with something in my bag that'll actually fit and not be a pain to carry everywhere, plus it fits on basically every surface I would need to use it on :)

I like the 104 key keyboards.  I don't often use a number pad but when I need one it's nice to have.  I would like to try a 60% to see how it is to use.

I like 60% keyboards. I barely use a num pad and the space saving is nice for a cramped desk like mine.

My favorite type of keyboard is a full size keyboard, but that's just because that's all I have ever had.

I prefer full sized keyboard for work and gaming-related use, but I have not tried any smaller keyboards yet. ^__^
