Post by: eyesmiles on Wed, 01 May 2013, 14:24:22: I'd be in for one.

From what the various pages on taobao posted, it looks like the poker 2 may come in red, black, brown, and green switches. Unless google translate has that wrong, it may be safe to say green axis are mx greens.

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that won't be on the spacebar. I'll look for it and edit this post.

What is DIY LEDs please someone explain me. Do I have to solder them myself with wires on the back side, or just solder them into place and the wiring is already on the pcb, or what?
Title: Re: [IC] Poker 2
Post by: qtan5370 on Mon, 06 May 2013, 06:24:36: The LED light and additional custom PBT caps(it come with thick PBT, but not rainbow or sub dye) are added on item you that have to buy it.

However, LED DIY should be able to done by yourself, find a LED in your local store is not that hard. For me, I am mostly worry about posting 61 LED with the package might end up with a lot problem with transportation and custom problem too. You only have to put the LED into the slot, very easy, it is ready to use.

They might sell LED version later on, I have no information about it so far. This run is PBT version without LED light.

I would suggest getting the LED in local instead from me.

Thank you for understanding , and last thing is they do announce a new day of arriving at May 15, should be close the true.

A post is opened on Group buy, please move discussion to that one since I am already start taking order.

Hello, I have not being doing group buy for a while. This time I want to put the hands on the Poker 2.

I would like the sell it at 93.99 dollar. As usual, KBT product might have supply problem, so I don't know how my price will be compare to others, but I search a little bit and I find out the price will be reasonable.

I ship to worldwide, to most place will be 18 dollar each, to U.S could be 16 dollar, 3 to 7 days shipping. Some countries might have to post by airmail. So, the total will be around 105 each.

Hi Qtan,

Could you give me a link to a picture of the custom dye sub PBT caps for the Poker II? Do these have side-printing to show the Fn layer, or do they only have legends on the top of the keycaps? Thanks.

Just saw this sentence. From what I have read, you have to remove the solder from LED holes on the PCB first, then solder in new LEDs. Not as easy as just plugging in the LEDs.
