It's happening.
-
hopefully they got it right this time....and they aren't actually browns....
-
Kinda sad I'm between jobs atm. Maybe I'll just flip another keyboard >.>
Bah, I just said earlier this morning I'm perfectly happy with my KUL w/ clears.
Oh geez. There are color options, and you can add LEDs for $12. This is the white whale.

I know the feeling.
-
In lieu of the mythical "GH60," this is a tempting option...
-
i never seen Poker II with PBT keycaps and white LEDs
by the way, how about Massdrop and international shipping?
It really tempting but i am afraid that i might get custom fees if i order through Massdrop
it seems they use UPS which i highly suspect them to declare almost every delivery package to the customs
-
This is just after I finally decided to make the decision after months to buy the Poker II from the last drop with MX Reds and white keycaps and LED's.
Still tempted to join this one though! What do you think is the likelihood that this drop will be repeated in the future?
-
wait, so the LED version comes with pbt keycaps as well, or is it just the ABS ones? doesnt specify;;
-
All PBT. Every variation, led or not, has PBT keycaps.
-
What is the PN key for? I get the FN, but I haven't figured out what PN does.

It's a programming layer :) every key on the KB is programmable, and the programmed keys get stored on the Pn layer. You can e.g. program "n" to write "hello" if you press n+Pn ^^

omfg.. I just purchased the FC660M in clears because the previous drop made a mistake of saying they had clears...

you mean in browns? hopefully they have it correct this time cause I ordered one lol
-
so bought. after putting clears on my k70, i want clears on everything.
-
What a great opportunity to enjoy my feeling.
-
HOLYSHIEETTTT I'm getting 3 of these. 1 for myself and 2 as birthday gifts for my best pals! :D
-
LOL wtf ... 234 purchased? Are they even going to be able to cover all these orders?
-
Yeah, this drop is going to be pretty wildly successful.
They already warned there were limited quantities, since this was a special run for Massdrop.
-
LOL wtf ... 234 purchased? Are they even going to be able to cover all these orders?
268 now, at this rate it's going to definitely break 300+. I'm also curious to know if they have the actual quantity to back them all up...
-
I fail at reading. Would have loved to get one of these but money is tight.

-

-

-
$119 + shipping.

I bought a couple of keyboards there (and other cheaper stuff) from France and never got any custom fees.
They say in their FAQ the package actually goes through UPS then USPS to ship to your country.
-
IT'S DEAD :-[
I was too slow... anyways I'm sure some will surface on the market if I want one. After they see this interest I wonder if they will start producing them with Clears regularly. I'll probably get Blacks on a White Poker II for my next keyboard. With Blank Black PBT keycaps from Ivan's GB. Man that'll look so good...
-
Thank god its gone now. No more temptation to deal with XD

get a poker II with clears and mod the springs or get a poker with any switch and replace them with clears + springs o:

sprit is running a group buy for #gold springs right now - http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=55888.0

Damn damn damn. I missed this but totally would have bought one. Here's to hoping that they do another because it was so successful?
-

I got my poker II in a previous massdrop of them. They've run this drop 3 times already I think.
Should be available again in a few months.
-

Oh man , that would not be cool..

This.
Until two months from now when there are 50 of them for sale in the Classifieds :D

I don't think we've seen MX clear, PBT caps and white backlighting before.

Nope, he must have meant the Poker II in general.

from massdrop - for anyone who still wants in...
"Update time!
Due to the overwhelming demand (in purchases and requests) we've spoken to KBC and they have agreed to increase the production run from 300 units to 600 units*.
We have expressed concern about the increased volume affecting the production time and they have assured us that it won't add more than a few days to the entire multi-week process. The manufacturing costs will be the same but we'll save around $1000 on inbound freight costs (instead of running two drops), so we will pass those savings on to the group and discount all the keyboards by $2 dollars each. To ensure that everyone will have an opportunity to join the extended drop, we will be re-opening this buy on Wednesday at 6am PST.
Note: KBC was surprised by the number of backlit to non-backlit orders (about 5:1), and has given us the heads up that they'll be shipping two batches of keyboards to us, the non-backlits first (around 5 weeks from now) and the backlit's second (around 6-7 weeks from now).
*The actual drop will cap at 590 keyboards because we need a few extras to handle RMAs and DOAs."
-
Interesting update. And I cannot believe backlit to non is 5:1.
-
It's so nice to have clear switches on those poker keyboards but $145 shipped to CA is still kind of deep..... :(
-
is there a new link for additional orders?
-

I can believe it. People like pretty lights.
-

it should be on the same page, but they're reopening it for orders tomorrow morning I believe..

Not really hard to believe considering it's only $10 more. You can always turn off the LEDs if you wanted to.

If DIP1 turns the Caps lock into Win, and DIP3 turns Windows into a FN - does this mean Capslock now becomes FN?
Does the PN layer let you assign arrow/pageup-down/home-end keys or only text/letters?
-

I think it's one or the other not both at the same time.

Meh .. I don't need it. V60 MTS is right around the corner.
-
I got one since I missed the drop the first time. Not sure I really need it as I just ordered a Keycool 84, but if I passed and ended up needing one id be kicking myself. I suppose I needed a work keyboard anyway.

you can indeed turn caps into FN
-
Just picked one up and it the total was $141. I'm excited to try out Clears :D
-
I registered for mass-drop because of this but ultimately decided that I'm going to stick with full size from now on.

i went from looking at the code clear full size to this...hope I don't regret it haha
-
I don't know if it is worth it. I would have to desolder them and switch them to 60/62g springs anyway.
-
557 sold. If it's not sold out by tomorrow morning I'd be surprised.

Why would you have to do that? Stock clears are awesome!

QFT. I recently removed the 65g springs in my Filco with clears in favor of the stock clear springs. Stock clears > *
-
582 purchased - in truth there are only 8 left in stock because they are taking 10 for RMA's...
Get your orders in! (I love spending other peoples money)
