so like every other keyboard
anyway, get the cheaper one.
i know, im just messing with you.
either way, i'd still go for the cheaper one. they're basically the same keyboard other than one has backlighting and the other doesnt

Gotcha! Thanks man :D Any recommendations on where to get blank keycaps for it?

i will say as a v60 owner that the build quality feels much better than on the poker.
also there is the option of matias switches or green/white MX on the v60 although the white might be harder to track down
Just thought I'd highlight the biggest difference that notsonerd mentioned, but it's an important one:
The Poker II is completely programmable!
You don't like the Fn layer? Reprogram it.
KBP V60 is not programmable. If you prefer the backlight options of the V60 and like the Fn layer and see no need to reprogram anything on it, then the V60 could suit you. If you prefer thick PBT caps or value customisability highly, get the Poker II unbacklit version (you can solder in any colour of LED's to make it backlit). If you don't want to do any soldering, but want backlighting AND programmability get the backlit Poker II.

I dont really know the difference between pbt and other types of keys :3
I'm new to all of this.

A quick run-down: ABS keycaps are thin and the surface tends to wear out much more quickly with use, creating that "shine" you'll be reading about. If you've ever used a rubber dome keyboard for a few years, you already know what it feels like and why people generally don't like it. Being thin, they don't dampen sound as well as thick PBT keycaps. It's the same material used in modern Legos.
PBT is thicker and doesn't wear down nearly as easily. Thickness varies, but they'll dampen the sound of your typing better than any ABS keycap. People tend to like the way PBT keycaps sound and feel better than ABS. It's generally higher quality, hence the premium price tag.
Nothing beats the stock pbt poker caps tho, top noch quality ;)Just thought I'd highlight the biggest difference that notsonerd mentioned, but it's an important one:

There are a lot of better keycaps than stock Poker II caps. They're lasered, so the legends are raised and they're OEM profile. They are at least thick and made from PBT, but that doesn't make them the best. I'd say they're almost as good as the new Leopold sets and that those are two of the best STOCK keycap sets that come on currently made boards.
IMHO, Cherry profile dyesub thick PBT are way better (nicer profile for typing on and dyesub legends are not raised so you don't feel them). As are Cherry POM caps (better profile and material), GMK thick doubleshot ABS (ultra high quality and smooth, thick and heavy), SA profile doubleshot ABS (smooth, thick and heavy, look awesome), etc.
