Title: Poker II RGB Backlighting?
Post by: OnTheBrink on Tue, 27 May 2014, 19:47:40

Since I got in on the MassDrop acrylic Poker 2 case, I wanted to make sure the Poker 2 I got was back lit. While searching, I came across this.

Unfortunately the page is very confusing to read. I am guessing because it is translated instead of being in original English. But is this for a Poker 2 with rainbow LED?

There are backlit poker 2s around. And they're quite easy to find

Also, for rgb I would think that people get the impression that the LEDs can change color, instead of having rainbow backlighting across the board

Yes, that's what I'm asking. There has never been a Poker 2 back lit with the ability to change the LED's color without modding it yourself. It's either that or they are just showing the different LED colors available for choosing.

i'm guessing they're showing a modded p2 where they just swapped one color for another.
