Vortex KBC Poker II Compact Mechanical Keyboard Review @ HCW
I have to wonder about keyboard design sometimes. There are several generic categories for keyboards from the type of keyswitch to form factor and everything in between. Of those the ultra compact designs are most disturbing. Sure I can see the benefits if you are going to cart them around but the usability and typing safety drops dramatically when you reduce the size.
That may not be a bad thing in the gaming world but why bother with a standard layout? why not create a custom gaming version and be done with it.
The Poker II is an ultra compact "60%" layout mechanical keyboard that moves a lot of keys to a function layer to be as small as possible. You do give up some functionality for the compact size, but is it still usable?
It looks like a Cooler Master design from a few years ago.
