I believe they are working on a follow-up to the original Poker (ie. Poker 2).  You might find some in Classifieds and group buy though.

You could just go for a KBT Pure?
Comes with LEDs if you are so inclined.

I would just buy that Poker with brown..

Swapping out stuff is a pain in the a... even if it's not as difficult on a poker...  Besides, where are you going to get all the stems for < $30 price difference between that MX black and the used -like new- poker.

Then, again, I don't actually like MX brown.. LOL.. so MXBLUE FTW.....

But I stand by MX black as the fastest switch..

Black ftw... very responsive to double tap, because it almost lifts your finger for you on the way up.

I just ordered the Green rapid, hopefully it won't let me down.
