Ikbc is a mechanical keyboard brand founded in 2007 by a group of enthusiasts and is affiliated with VortexGear. Committed to the production and R&D of PBT keycaps and promotion of special distribution. Ikbc launched the first keyboard Poker in 2010 is the world's leading 60% production mechanical keyboard, followed by the launch of Poker2 and Poker3 models.
Poker2 is a programmable mechanical keyboard released by ikbc in 2013. It still uses 60% of Poker's ranking design to remove the keypad area, arrow keys, and F function keys, and retain the full functionality of the full keyboard. This time, the new Poker2 is a new programmable mechanical keyboard launched by ikbc in 2017. It is also an upgraded version of the old poker2 released in 2013. Compared to the old version of Poker2, the interface has been improved and it has been strengthened. The three-tier programming can be said to be one of the strongest ikbc keyboard programming capabilities ever, with a suggested retail price of 499 yuan.

iKBC poker2 Type-C Mini Mechanical Keyboard 61-Key Price-Performance Getting Started Keyboard Preferred Value 0 Comments 1 Original 0 Good Price 1 Direct Links View Details II. Unpacking Aunt sent a SF Express to us two years ago. The conscience of China's logistics industry did not disappoint me. I served at noon on the 29th of the lunar calendar and also allowed me to make a finger massage with this keyboard before the Lunar New Year. If you don’t talk much about it, tear it out and put the clear plastic and buffer foam on it. Immediately out of the box!
â–² The new Poker2 packaging follows the overall black style of the old Poker2 package. The biggest difference is probably the font of the silver “POKER II†on the front of the package. The old version is slightly more “non-mainstreamâ€. I like this one more. A little font.
â–² The back is still very simple. A few lines illustrate the main features of this keyboard: the German cherry MX shaft, 290mm x 120mm x 28mm mini size and 545g weight.
â–² Security labels are rarely verified. After all, mechanical keyboards are basically fake.
â–² However, I still have itchy hands, scratched off the security code, and verified the site with a slightly copycat verification. It is finally possible to stop saying “I may have bought a fake mechanical keyboardâ€.
â–² The color axis of all the keyboards in the survey was sent randomly. I prefer the red axis and the tea axis. This time I was also very lucky. I got the tea axis. Although the blue axis is clear and crisp, and the paragraph is obvious, it is still a little noisy for home use. The reason why you don't like the black axis is very simple, that is, if you use feedback for a long time, you may feel a bit tired. In addition, unfortunately, the old Poker2 has not seen any interesting stickers with a variety of mechanical axes.
â–² The inside of the package is very simple, and it directly looks at all the standard products: keyboard body, six PBT RGB keycaps, wire puller, USB Type-C to USB A braided nylon cable, bi-directional USB Type-C Ordinary material cable and manual, but unfortunately there is no dust cover.
3. Hardware & WorkmanshipThe keyboard is only available in black and white. The black color I got in my hands is not pure black. Looking closer, it should be accurate and greyish black. The laser etched font with a little golden color complements each other. It is quite a bit “black goldâ€. The feeling, slightly touched with a matte touch. Only the simple "Poker II" is printed on the right side of the blank space. In addition to the six RGB keycaps, the value of the face value is instantly increased, and the size of the keyboard is very small and exquisite.
â–² The ikbc Poker2 Type-C mini keyboard is compared to the iPhone 6s Plus.
â–² There are six DIP switches in the bottom right side of the groove, which is more than the old four DIP switches. The combination of Switch 1 and Switch 2 allows the input user to quickly switch between the various key layouts of Workman, Dvorak, Colemak, and the most common Qwerty; switch 3 is used to change Layer 3, Layer 2, and Layer 3 programming layers. The position of Pn key; switch 4, 5, 6 can only act on the default layer, switch 4 is used to open the independent direction key, switch 5 is used to exchange the positions of the two keys “Capslock†and “Ctrlâ€, and switch 6 is used For swapping the positions of "Win" and "Alt". These prefabricated switches greatly take care of certain user groups, such as coders and MAC users.
▲ The pattern appearing on the front of the black box appears on the keyboard again. The right side of the bottom left is a “deceivingly†positive 17 shape. It reminds me of the capacitance formula of the Leopold FC660c electrostatic capacitance keyboard in the lower right corner. However, I haven't figured out whether there is any special significance to this positive 17-sided shape. Maybe it is the 17th keyboard that was introduced in the new 17th year or IKBC? Or is it just pure decoration that makes the keyboard look more recognizable? However, the pattern is under the keyboard, and generally it will not be turned over to see it.
â–² The upgrade of the new Poker2 2017 is the interface upgrade to USB Type-C. The benefits are self-evident. First, both positive and negative can be inserted. Second, there is no need to worry about using the Mini USB interface for a long time. .
â–² Two standard USB Type-C connectors are equipped with bent plugs, which can effectively avoid the possible poor contact caused by long-term deflection of straight plug wires. The -C positive and negative features make the keyboard easy to connect the keyboard from four directions, compared to the old model only one direction of the routing port, this improvement is used to the user to use the keyboard on the edge of the laptop More friendly.
â–² Because there are only four fixed non-slip rubber strips under the keyboard, the height of the upper half of the keyboard can not be adjusted without folding the supporting feet. Therefore, a friend who likes to increase the height of the keyboard will not adapt because there is only such a flat angle, at least when I feel If the desk is a bit taller, the wrist is slightly vacant and very tired.
In terms of workmanship, I have to say that the work and feel of the original keycap won my heart. PBT basically guarantees the oil resistance. Key laser etching is all located in the four corners of the keycap, minimizing the length of fingers and etching fillers. Touch the friction caused by friction. The keycap has a little grainy feel and is a little different from the feel of my Leopold FC750r PBT keycap. This kind of touch with a little bit of delicate particles makes people feel neither too slippery but also Friction control is just right.
▲ The six RGB key caps donated are also PBT materials. Different places use the two-color molding process. The biggest advantage of course is that you don’t need to worry about being worn out. However, this white key is located in the middle of the keycap. The original keycap doesn't fit the beat.
â–² Relative to the original keycap, the six RGB keycaps work slightly rough, with some subtle burrs visible. The edges of the individual keycaps are also somewhat ambiguous, but they are invisible when used at the bottom of the keycap. Although it is harmless, I think there is room for improvement in workmanship.
â–² The original key cap (lower row) has a solid thickness, and the workmanship is comparable to the PBT key cap (upper row) which is known as Leopold FC750r 1.5mm thick.
â–² All the axes are German cherry MX, and they have not encountered problems such as bad axes. Slightly larger keys have steel satellite axes so that the balance of each key is very good, there is no any shaking, there is no problem with the card key, and further enhance the feel.
â–² The space bar satellite axis is far apart and is slightly more meaty than other small buttons and is perfectly acceptable. Two multi-colored LEDs have been pre-fabricated between the axes as indicators for the three-level programming function.
▲ The pre-made two multi-color LEDs are hidden under the space bar. When lit, some light and shadows will be projected to the side engraved positions of the “F†and “J†keys. The brightness is relatively moderate, and use in a slightly dark environment has not caused too dazzling trouble for me.
â–² The product is equipped with two connecting wires as standard, with excellent workmanship, anti-jamming magnetic rings and gold-plated interfaces. The USB Type-C to USB A cable is made of nylon, which is used to connect common devices. For newer models that have a USB Type-C connector, the manufacturer also provides a two-way USB Type-C cable of common material. In other respects, the black keyboard frame work well, smooth without burrs, and it is not easy to stick fingerprints, which is easy to create a cheap sense of craftsmanship. Although it is different from the color of the key caps, but it does not violate the sense of peace, but I do not know whether the white version will also There is chromatic aberration.
Four. Use & ProgrammingI haven't used the 61-key mini model before. Since most of the input application scenes are not always dealing with numbers frequently, and are based on the need for more space on the desk, I resolutely gave up the 104-key transfer to the 87-key and actually used one. Years later, I felt that the original choice was correct and there was no inconvenience in the use of the keypad area.
The default layer uses:The use of 61 keys is a radical experience. Based on the 87 keys, the arrow keys and the F1~F12 functional areas continue to be cut down. The keyboard size is further reduced, but the sparrows are small and fully functional, reducing the area's functionality. Not missing because of the reduction of several keys, most of these functions are realized by the Fn + "X" key combination, so Poker2's idea is to use the key combination for very few keys and the ultimate portability. For example, the normal direction of the use of the scene more than the direction of the key by the Fn with "A", "S", "D" and "W" four keys to achieve; F1 ~ F12 by Fn + "1" to "12" combination to achieve In addition to all the standard keyboard functions, the Fn function keys can even be combined to control the volume adjustment and mute, as well as directly call out the calculator, the function is not to mention that it is not powerful, these functions are engraved on the keycap side, even if in use can not remember Do not affect the use of live key position, take a look at the side of carved position on it. However, if you want to use the same smoothness as the 104-key full-size keyboard, 60% of the keyboard layout will impose higher requirements on the user, the price is obvious, the user needs to be very familiar with the combination of keys and often two hands instead of the original one can Things done. In the beginning, when I used the arrow keys, I would consciously and habitually touch the direction zone in the lower right corner of the keyboard, which made people feel bad.
â–² The advantage of this mini keyboard is that it can help you to cure the difficulty of your choice. You don't need to consider whether you want to buy positive or sideways, because all the functions are compressed on the 61 keys in this area. The keys of Fn key can only be carved sideways. On the keycap.
â–² Fn layer key list under the default layer, in fact, not much to remember. Ordinary users only want to enjoy the lightweight of 61 keys in the default layer, and do not want to use advanced features, but they are not used to having no independent direction area, I still recommend using the card at the bottom of the keyboard off 4 to open the independent direction area You just need to dial, the right Shift, Fn, Pn and Right Ctrl four keys in the lower right corner will become your familiar direction keys.
Advanced use of programming layer experience:Compared with the old Poker2, the programming aspect is more powerful and supports three programming layers, namely Layer1, Layer2, and Layer3. For example, coders can put their own keys and habits of writing code on Layer1, playing Dota2, and hot. The key is on the Layer2 layer, so the hotkeys don't always have to be changed. It's simple and straightforward. Switch the programming layer as long as you press the Fn + right Shift key, you can switch in the order of the default layer → Layer1 → Layer2 → Layer3 cycle, switch to Layer1 to Layer3 layer, the left side of the spacebar LED will be red, green, blue three The user is informed of the current layer, and the default layer is turned off by the LED.
â–² Just press "Fn" + "Right Shift" to switch between the three programming layers.
For a simple example of how to program, "A" is "123":
(1). Press Fn + right Shift key (switch to any level of programming layer, the left LED light is always on);
(2) Fn + right CTRL (enters programming mode, the space bar right LED blue is always on);
(3). Press the "A" key (select the key to be programmed, the space right LED flashes red light waiting for programming content 123);
(4). Press "1", "2", "3" (programming content) in sequence;
(5). Press "PN" key to end programming (right flashing red LED switches back to blue steady light);
(6). Press "Fn + Ctrl Right" to end programming mode (right LED goes out).
Let's take a more complicated example and make C to call CMD.EXE on Windows:
(1). Press Fn + right Shift key (switch to any level of programming layer, the left LED light is always on);
(2) Fn + right CTRL (enters programming mode, the space bar right LED blue is always on);
(3). Press the "C" key (select the key to be programmed, the space LED right flashes red and waits for programming);
(4). Press "WIN", "C", "Fn+G" (15ms delay), "M", "Fn+G" (15ms delay), "D", "Fn+H (500ms delay) )", "ENTER" (programming content);
(5). Press "PN" key to end programming (right flashing red LED switches back to blue steady light);
(6). Press "FN + Ctrl Right" to end programming mode (right LED goes out).
After trial, it was found that the selection of the delay and the location of the insertion are important parameters. For example, the above program using the C key to program an exhaled CMD window. In this example: If I press the “C†key too short, the programming content has not been executed yet. When the user presses "Enter", it is stopped and the CMD window is not successfully called. If the user presses the "C" key for a long time, the CMD window will be successfully called out, and the program content will continue to be called out of the extra CMD window or the start menu will continue to be activated. Based on the above characteristics of the three delay times of 15ms, 100ms, and 500ms that can be inserted, I will modify the above example as follows: The delay inserted between "C", "M", and "D" is appropriately lengthened, and Then enter "Enter" and then continue to join several 500ms delays to improve fault tolerance. After the modification, just slightly press the "C" key for a long time to have a 90% chance of correctly exhaling the CMD window. In the same way, any key can be programmed to replace the login password, and it is up to the user to implement some fancy features.
Mini size, no lack of functionality can make your desktop more space;
The lighter weight allows you to throw in your backpack and take it with you.
PBT caps are oil-resistant, satellite shaft holdings are first-rate, and overall workmanship is excellent;
Upgrade to USB Type-C interface does not take into account the issue of forward and reverse insertion, the flexibility of the outlet;

Powerful programming.
Disadvantages:Not suitable for dealing with numbers, such as accounting for frequent numbers;
High cost of learning for junior users who are not familiar with the 60% allocation;
Without folding feet, the wrist is uncomfortable when the work tabletop is high;
No keyboard backlight, but you should be able to add your own DIY lights;
The complimentary 6-particle RGB keycap has room for improvement;
The portable keyboard does not have the Bluetooth function.
Positive zig-zag shapes that do not know what to express are printed on the bottom of the keyboard that is not visible for years.
After a week in contact with the new ikbc Poker2, you will find that this is a keyboard for mass production. Gamers and coders will like it very much, the ultimate in portability and the ultimate in space reduction and full keyboard. Features, good workmanship and powerful programming features are its advantages. Except for a few work scenarios, this keyboard has already met the needs of most users in the default layer. If you want to use it effectively or want to experience a lot of advanced features of this keyboard, then the user must pay a certain amount of learning costs. The DIP switch is very convenient. It can take care of the layout of the keyboard layout of some niche players, and can also take care of the heavy dependence of the arrow keys. Compared to the old Poker2, the upgrading of the USB Type-C interface is undoubtedly successful. The 90 degree corner and flexible outlet design of the interface allows it to be freely combined with the arbitrary direction of the laptop; at the same time, it has more powerful three-layer programming function. Give this keyboard more possibilities.
The biggest regret of this keyboard is probably the lack of Bluetooth function. As a main portable 60% distribution keyboard, there is no wireless connection I think is a very important point. In a situation where the notebook computer has few interfaces, the popularity of the ultrabook makes the notebook computer interface more valuable. If a notebook computer user wants to use a mechanical keyboard, it needs to occupy a valuable USB interface. Some users will bring a docking station, but this in itself is contrary to the original intention of portable. Secondly, there is no folding support foot which is very unpleasant for me, and the cost of adding this function should not be very high.
See here, everybody should have a general understanding of this keyboard, this is a product with obvious advantages and disadvantages. For players who just touch the mechanical keyboard, I still recommend you from 104 or 87 keys. Choose one of these two types of placement, and if you work long-term dealing with numbers, please also avoid this kind of mechanical keyboard. But if you already have and used a mechanical keyboard for a certain period of time, the keyboard is particularly concerned about the portability and willing to pay a certain amount of learning costs to infuse some fresh features, or have a certain amount of hands-on ability, then this paragraph 60% of the allocation The production keyboard will be a good choice for you to enter the pit.
An evacuated tube is two glass tubes, one within the other, joined at each end. The space between these tubes is evacuated so the space is under a vacuum seal. Vacuums are excellent insulators (think thermos.) The inner tube is coated with a selective coating that converts light into heat.
Guaranteed for fifteen years (the longest warranty on the market) Linuo tubes are made from high quality borosilicate glass and are fused together. This provides an all glass seal. The Linuo evacuated tube uses a unique three layer selective coating instead of the standard single al-n/al coating. It consists of an infrared emission layer, an absorption layer and an anti-reflective layer, giving a much improved performance.
