Looks like they're offering blue backlighting or no back lighting, with options for Clear, Blue, Brown, or Red Cherry MX switches.

Finally offering clear. Nice!

I wish the white versions were an option.

"If you select "Backlit LED", you will be receiving a White Poker II."

I ordered one the other day, but after looking at how much this will cost I am paying £7 more and should get mine next week. so I am happy to pay the little extra rather than wait all the time for the offer to end and the 20 or so days after for the stuff to get shipped.

I imagine its a good deal for someone US based though.

God darnit, I'm always too slow to pull the trigger on deals >_> Kinda good though.. I have a Poker 2 with browns in the mail, even though I'd like to try out clears.. woulda bust my wallet for the month if they'd still have Poker 2s with clears in stock!

Clears were still available around 8 hours ago, that's when I ordered mine. They still had both options open then.

Eh, don't feel bad. It was a troll.

Apparently there was a misunderstanding in the communication between Massdrop and the vendor and they really aren't clears. I had my order cancelled and so did everyone else who ordered "clears". It seems to really be MX browns. I would have liked it for the rarity and white color body, but now I'm kinda glad it turned out this way because it saves me money lol.

Oh damn :)) I thought it was weird that they suddenly had clear poker 2 boards, because I'd never seen one before :))
