Title: KBT Pure/Poker II backlit (or similar kb) in stock?
Post by: andrewk on Mon, 16 June 2014, 11:54:21
Hey, I'm can't seem to find any poker II (backlit version) or Pure in stock online? I'd like it to ship in Canada for minimal fees if possible.
I don't mind any other mech with the same specs (60% size, backlit, cherry MX red).
Thanks for the helps!

Pure is no longer manufactured.

Poker 2 was just on sale twice in a row on Massdrop, but outside of that I do not know where you can get one (try classifieds)

I'm just full of bad news :(

If you're patient, you can find new for around 110 and like new for around 90 in classifieds/online.  Good luck though :)

IIRC you can solder LED's to the non-backlit version and it should work.  Unsure how the resistors are set up on there though.

Yeah that's what I saw in the description, but I have very little experience in soldering... Last time I tried to solder a modchip on a motherboard things didn't go so well  :D I ordered the backlit one from Mechkb for 170$ ( :-[ ) and I'm still waiting for a confirmation, but if you guys know any similar kb's I'm sure I could cancel my order.
