Title: Poker II PBT version LEDs (?)
Post by: pixel5 on Fri, 05 July 2013, 14:55:50
I know as soon as I post this someone will link to a thread and say 'use the search function'...but I've searched and searched and can't find an answer to my specific question...

I've seen the Poker 2 ABS version and know that it is backlit, but I don't know what LED's are present on the PBT version. i.e.: If I press Space + Fn does the LED light up on the function keys? If I Fn + Q does it light up the ESC button? Poker 2 PBT owners, help me out.

I hope this helps because I don't actually own a Poker 2. But I've linked the user's manual (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.msg903862#msg903862) for the board.

I don't think the PBT version has lights. But does use the same PCB, so it has the lead holes for them.

Obviously we'll get more closure when an owner replies...but doesn't it at least have a Caps lock light?

WFD posted a review (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44118.0). Looks like it does have a few lights.

No owners actually able to confirm what lights on on the board?

There are LED's on every Poker II, but not all switches has a LED on it. There are four LED's on the PBT Poker II. Two for Caps Lock, one of them is on the left Windows-key. And two under the Spacebar (not the Spacebar switch). Both the left and the right LED on the Spacebar is for programming mode, read the manual to see what the each LED is for.

I can confirm what Topre says is true.
