jstark04All of those functions are there. This keyboard does not have dedicated F buttons or arrow keys, but those functions are still there as part of other keys.

TuurahkSo I’m paying 130$ for a keyboard that I have to hold shift or fn to do anything? For that much money you can a good keyboard by a brand that is established rather than some crappy no-name.

jstark04Nothing wrong to be new to this hobby! But to call Pok3r crappy no-name is pure ignorant and kind of "i havn't done my homework, aka googling and get some information about keyboard sizes" before posting! There are enough other mks out there that might fullfill your needs, you don't like this, fine, don't buy it. But at the moment you make yourself look like a fool.

MakamiI could get a backlit Logitech mech keyboard with all the necessary keys for $60 or I could get a random ass keyboard company's keyboard with a lack of arrow keys for $130

jstark04Nothing more to say from my point of view. Would be nice to see you commenting on a 40% mk :)
Have a nice day (no sarcasm, whatever!)

jstark04" So I’m paying 130$ for a keyboard " Kind of sounds like you aren't though, are you.
" I have to hold shift or fn to do anything " Some functions, not all. Yes, it takes you a while to get used to the whole Fn thing. I know I did. But it actually makes it a lot easier to use once you get used to it.
" For that much money you can a good keyboard " This is a good keyboard though.
" by a brand that is established rather than some crappy no-name " This obviously isn't a Corsair or a Razer branded keyboard. This is not from a brand that advertises itself on every single pc gaming related page. To say that is a crappy no-name is very wrong though. Maybe you are new to the whole mechanical keyboard thing, but because you never heard of a brand, doesn't mean it's crappy. A niche brand? Yes. Crappy? No.
Obviously you prefer a full sized keyboard. A lot of people stand by smaller sized keyboards, myself included. From helping avoid RSI, to being easy to carry if you want to, to (in this particular case) being highly programmable, and even being highly durable.

jstark04Yeah, they make cheaper keyboards for the mass audience. This is a highly customizable keyboard for the type of people who go so far as to solder their own modifications and program their own layouts. You're comparing an Xbox to a custom gaming rig.

jstark04Vortex is a highly respected name in the keyboard community. People love the Pok3r and it's so popular with 60% enthusiasts that there is a ton of aftermarket customization you can do to this board. So no, it's not a crappy no name. Just head over to r/mechanicalkeyboards and I guarantee you'll see at least one in the first page or two of results.

jstark04It's due to their heavy marketing and mass market appeal. All three of those brands aren't bad, but they use cheap single shot ABS keycaps, often plastic cases, and are not customizable. It's fine to like those brands, but for harder core enthusiasts, there's many smaller but higher quality manufacturers.

jstark04Also, programming keyboards with fn layers such as this essentially has way more "keys" than a non-programmable one. While the need to hold down fn key may seem like a hassle, it's very easy once you get used to it.
The pok3r also has a mode for arrow keys if you need them, over at the right shift cluster. Look at https://www.massdrop.com/buy/pok3r-rgb-backlit-mechanical-keyboard/talk/2066126
Not only that, the pok3r allows you to use caps lock as fn, so your left pinky can hold it down and have tons of keys easily reachable without having to move your left hand away from the natural position. I now dread using the standard keyboard at my workplace since it's so much more inefficient.

Just here to spread the knowledge. Some of this stuff can be obscure.

jstark04Wow unadulterated entitled ignorance on display here. Maybe spend 2 seconds googling something before you call it a crappy no name brand.
