I really wanted some caps with different colored fonts and these are awesome, before I buy them will they work with a poker II? Mine is currently in the mail :D

Yes, but I think those are Tao hao and I don't like their quality and most people here don't either

??????
Most of what I've read has been in favor of tai hao's caps. They're cheap and they're doubleshot!
-
Hmm I plan on doing a two-tone board with some reds and some whites, would it be cheaper to buy from somewhere else where I can get a half/half or is this a pretty good deal just to buy two full sets? Also since it's a poker II I won't need all of the keys.
-
They're real cheap. Might as well get 2 sets.
-
Tai hao are decent doubleshots for the price. They're still thin ABS, but what do you expect for $20?
-
They're pretty nice. I've had 4 different colored sets of them. The colors are very bright. They look exactly as they do in the Massdrop pictures. When we did a group buy, the sets were around $9 each.

They will fit on the Poker, but consider this... it is important...
The stock keycaps on the Poker II are high quality thick PBT and will feel way better than any thin ABS caps. Those Taihao sets are thin ABS despite being doubleshot, and while they are decently made, they are thin and light and are not even in the same league as the stock Poker II caps, so you may well be disappointed with them.
I would recommend rather finding some really great keycaps that you like instead, like for instance the upcoming GMK HyperFuse set that Bunnylake will offer. It's not worth putting cheap caps on a board that already has high quality ones.

That's subjective ;D
I don't like PBT in any form at all.

I agree with Oobly. The stock keycaps on the Poker 2 are the best I've felt so far.
