First thing I would do if I got this, would be to replace the keycaps, they're fugly, especially that space bar, WTF?

I believe that's just a prototype. Easy man.

Given the prgrammable nature of the keyboard.. I'd be interested in BLANK caps PLEASSEEEEEE

I like the simple yet nice revamp of the Poker II. If I hadn't tried the original poker and realized that I am such a stickler for some dedicated arrow keys, I'd be all over this.

Word for the Poker II is out, but what about the Poker/Pure Pro? that keyboard has had leaks and everything pour out, but only ISO has been released..:(

And I just ordered a Pure too. Wish the Poker II still had the arrows on the right ctrl/alt/shift.

That is the Pure Pro and not the Poker II.

Vortex has stated on their Facebook page that...

So I'm guessing KBC decided to go with someone other than Vortex to manufacture this bad boy?

Doesn't look like it. Vortex posted a photo on their Facebook page yesterday saying that it was coming soon.

Sounds very interesting and will keep an out for it as well. I really want a poker but I have a feeling like everyone else states that they won't be out by the stated deadline. Time to wait for more news! :)

The not-so-good thing about the Poker 2 is that the arrow keys being move to wasd. Now fn+space will make your wasd to be arrow keys unlike on poker x does it on right control side.
Sad sad thing. I really need that when playing Dota :) But I'm typing on a Poker 2 now just received it!

Poker does both! How do you like the Poker 2 other than the layout? :)

What do you mean by Poker does both? Like it so much except for the arrow cluster thingy. This is my first 60% and I'm really loving it :)

Well I have L Win switched to L FN and I also have L Alt & L FN switched. What this means is that I can use either FN + WASD for arrows or use the right cluster from FN + Spacebar :)

R Win or L Win? ;o

lol time to make more coffee  :p

So... I didn't get a clear answer in the Simple Questions, Simple Answers... Is the Poker II programmable? :))

Kinda programmable :) It's not like on programmable keyboards that there is an actual software to do it. It's comparable to razer bw's when creating macro. Kinda sucks actually, plus you do have to press pn in order to use the key/macro you just did. At least from my understanding. not a 100% sure on that. LOL!

Great, after a dumb Fn layer occupying right alt on the Poker X, we get no menu and a still pretty brain-dead Fn layer claiming right win on this thing.

How am I supposed to operate the page up and down keys (" and /) while holding down Fn? That brother meat fellow is either a goddamn retard or must have one hell of a right pinky. Either way, if anyone feels like dropping their GH60 order for this, I'd be very happy to jump in.

Btw, why would anyone want to put more than three LEDs in a keyboard?
