I love the customisability of some of the mechanical keyboard like Pokers etc.
Hmm, most (good) mechanical keyboards allow easy layout changes by moving keys around. I never had a Pok3r though.
The Unicomps have two-piece keys, you can remove/exchange all keycaps without removing the keys themselves, maybe that's an option for you? ;-) (Yes, I really like mine.)

It's not so much the layout that I like the customisability of as the case, keycaps, colours, cables etc.
A lot of the stuff you see on reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards looks great and really appeals to me but after my experience not really finding my Corsair mechanical keyboard usable I'm hesitant to invest the money in one.
The poker allows for some customization, but you cannot get full control unless you change the firmware, which has risks.
For example, right alt and space makes the fn, pn, right control and right shift behave like arrow keys, and this behavior cannot be changed. However, this combination is for the character _ in bepo, which you type pretty often while coding, so that causes frequent problems.

Indeed. Cable choices are quite rare, sadly. :-( It must be too expensive to make them removable...
I'm rather clumsy when handling anything that's hardware, so I'm out from most of the stuff on reddit. :))
