I'm guessing this is the evolution from the Ducky Mini. It says Laser etched PBT caps but how do they show light? Seems weird and they don't look like PBT - they look like the typical ABS UV coated that Ducky puts on their boards. Not a great price but thought some might be interested in a backlit Poker II.

They aren't actually PBT. The key caps are ABS.

DAMN YOU MASSDROP!
You've got the Poker II, Audioengine A5s, Aune T1, *and* Fiio e17 all for sale at once?? My wallet can't handle that right now and I feel I can no longer bend it to my will :(.

For some reason I read "Bakelite Poker II's on Massdrop"

AFAIK, the backlit Poker II is the only thing that is fairly new to massdrop. The other audio stuff has been consistently dropping every 2-3 months or so, so I wouldn't feel TOO bad about it. :thumb:

Why is this poker n-key roll over?
Weren't the previous poker 2 keyboards 6-key roll over?

I believe it was a firmware update. (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50245.0)

Is backlight adjustable on this thing?
-
Yes, five levels of brightness. :3

commited to buy at $94 for a green led, with browns. Never tried browns before and i have always wanted a poker, and $100 for brand new isnt to shabby :thumb:

I have the pbt poker 2, and its a great keyboard. Good price on massdrop as well.

Shush you. I don't want to hear it!

I owned a GH60 and Poker 2 (sold).
To be honest, GH60 offers more functions and flexibility than P2.
However, the macro function on P2 is easier to use, and can be done without flashing a firmware.
But the lack of arrow key on P2 is a big -ve. (though firmware can be flashed to achieve arrow keys).
-
Massdrops being sold out of everything I want (config of this keyboard and some fountain pen ink). SO ANNOYING.

Just got in on this. My first time using Massdrop, so I want to know: I won't be charged until AFTER this groupbuy officially ends, right? Cuz as of right now I don't have 100% of the funds in my bank account to fully place the order.

Yes that is correct. They authorize the payment now but it does not complete until the drop ends.

That's correct. They don't charge you until the group buy ends. I joined the drop yesterday and put my cc on it as payment and there are no charges or pending charges on my card.

Good good, thanks.
I have a feeling Massdrop is going to become one of my new favorite places to buy things...

They get a large chunk of my money. I even got a KB from them (poker II non backlit, which I think I prefer). If only they weren't out of that awesome ink....

I've purchased more things off MassDrop than is healthy.

They aren't actually PBT. The key caps are ABS.
Glad I didn't order any. The PBT keycaps are my favorite part of the Poker 2 :P
-
For anyone who has reservations because the backlit version of the Poker II has ABS keys instead of PBT, be sure to check out Ivan's thick PBT group buy (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50935.0). We're pretty close to MOQ now. Black on near black, or blanks. They should look great!

Not a bad deal, thanks for posting.

I have never ordered from massdrop until this promotion, are they notorious for being sluggish when it comes to shipping?

It all seems to depend on the source of the goods.

they're definitely more reliable than GH GBs that's for sure (for obvious reasons)
