Pok3r is a programmable 60% keyboard from KBT. It is the successor to the original KBC Poker II. Versions are available with single color or RGB back lighting (with doubleshot ABS keycaps) and without back lighting (with printed PBT keycaps) @deskthority
Notice. Pok3r doesn't have Workman Layout, but the New Poker II has it. Both keyboards are very similar and has almost identical functionality.
It comes in Black/White case color, and with all family of Cherry MX switchers, with white LED backlight or RGB. Check them out at mechanicalkeyboards.com.
Notice. The difference between Poker II and is not critical. The noticeable difference is RGB and weight.
The default arrow mapping is different from Poker II, but of cause it is fully programmable within non-default layers, keycap material.
The POK3R is very much THE standard when it comes to 60% keyboards. All other mechanical keyboards are measured against it, and there's good reason why. @skiwithpete
If you're looking for an RGB keyboard that is 60% there's not much that beats this, in fact I don't think that there is really anything that compares. @Tech Intake
