Vortex Pok3r Giveaway sponsored by Massdrop

[Luxim]

I prefer a full-sized keyboard for standard desktop use. However, I find a smaller mechanical keyboard more practical for use with an ultrabook, that lacks the comfortable typing experience that a real mechanical keyboard can provide.

i LOVE TKL keyboards, never tried 60% though..

[Some Tech Nub]

I think the tenkeyless layout is the best.

I never use the numpad, and a full size keyboard puts the mouse ridiculously far away. However, I feel that a 60% has to make too many compromises.

If I win though, that may change. I've heard so many great things about the poker ii.

Full size is my layout of choice because I often find myself using the numpad and navigation keys, but because of my increasing amount of paperwork (and decreasing amount of desk space) a compact 60% keyboard is looking a lot more attractive. Thankfully, the POK3R has all of the navigation and numpad keys I need as a second function on top of the regular letter keys.

I don't have a favourite keyboard, yet. All I've got is a bog-standard (but wireless) Logitech K260 which, even though it's lasted me for some time, doesn't feel as good as a mechanical keyboard. Furthermore, I've never found myself using the keypad on the side, so having a tenkeyless keyboard would give me more real estate for my hands - especially when I'm up to...well, secret things.

60% keyboard for the compact size and portability

Also feels really cool to show it off to people.

I like the full functionality of the full keyboard layouts, but I have been looking for a nice 60/80% mech KB for my other rigs and one I can easily bring with me when needed.  That Vortex POK3R looks pretty nice and might look into getting into that drop!  Unless...

[orangefurball]

I like 10 keyless boards usually, but have been looking for a 60% board to take on the road. It'd be cool to get this one.

What a nice giveaway! Thanks Massdrop, thanks LMG!

 

My personal preference is a 60% keyboard with a separate numpad for CSGO binds. But since my Ducky Mini has met its demise under a tire when moving (RIP in pieces), I'm back to using my spare Logitech K200 rubber dome keyboard. Nick pls, Gaben pls.

For me it very mutch depands on the application your going to use the keyboard for.

 

For my desktop it has to be a 105-key US-Int (iso with us layout) keyboard.

For my tablet and media center a 60% is the way to go. To have them function at 100% in this application they have to be wireless. And the best is bluetooth. This way you can use them for both without any problems.

Full size, but then I'd have to buy a new desk.

[Rayonant]

Thanks to both (Massdrop an LMG) for the giveaway! . I've always used a full sized keyboard and I really like it - 10 numkeys are very useful for working with numbers and spreadsheets  -, but lately I have to recognize that other than that I do not use them as often as I used to think, so maybe a switch for a smaller one would be nice and the space saving is always appreciated.

[Antibull]

Well I like the 60% keyboards since I also use a g13 so my keyboard can't be to big ;o

[Morrisiak]

10-keyless because I bump into keyboard with mouse all the time #nospace

[griso]

I prefer full-size keyboard.

[xShadow_Walker]

I think I prefer the full size keyboard since I haven't used any other size. The 60% keyboard it seems kinda weird to me but I would very much like to have an experience with it.

[_nova_]

Having a full size keyboard is very important for me, because it makes coding easier, but I was thinking of getting a smaller one for on the go for my laptop.

[Kevin.]

I prefer full-size keyboards, especially ones with a metal body.

Because, lets face it, they just provide a much more solid self-defense weapon in case of a zombie invasion. A 60% keyboard will never provide as much of a solid thump that a full-size keyboard will.

[moonpen]

I would prefer a 60% keyboard to reduce distance between wsad and mouse 

[ZanyLlama]

Being a video editor, I like having as many keys as possible. Who does't love macros within video editing applications?

[Achilles97]

I prefer full-size keyboard over the 60% ones, but if it's free why not givE it a try. Hue hue hue

[cesrai]

Full size and I use the number pad which is awesome.

[SolarEklipze]

60%? We need to go smaller! 40%, or even 2% for Binary programming!

In all seriousness, 60% is about perfect. For programming, I tend to use the 60% block, the arrow keys, Home and End to shift inside of lines. The Pok3r is pretty sweet because I should be able to program in those keys with the function layer, as well as some handy shortcuts. And PBT. PBT....

I love that keyboard, but I'm a student so I can't exactly drop $110 on a keyboard right now. Best of luck to the winner, whoever it may be!

EDIT: How could I forget! I can't stand full size because my mouse keeps bumping into my numpad during CS:GO. Having something as small as possible only gives me more room to get flick shots!

Who am I kidding I'm terrible at that game.

[NBase]

I prefer full size.  Then again, I have never used a smaller size so I don't really know.

[Ekin]

I could not work fast without my 104 keyboard, but on lanpartys it takes up to much space, so the Pok3er would be a nice addition to my setup.
