White ones with clear switches are up on massdrop right now. They seem to have rounds with the option of Blue, Brown, Red and Black switches pretty frequently though if you don't want clears.

IDK if you like LEDs but I'll mention I *think* massdrop is the only place that gives you an option for white LEDs pre-installed. You can find pokers with various LED colors from other vendors though.

That's about all the Poker info I know! good luck

This is inaccurate, some Poker IIs have ABS caps. Not that there's anything wrong with ABS, but that's how it is.

Generally, ABS caps are on backlit boards, and PBT caps are on non-backlit boards.

Yes, backlighting can be turned on and off on the board itself after the LEDs are installed.

There are 7 different brightnesses you can use and you can turn it off.
I just got one in the mail a few days ago. Some of the LEDs are inconsistent, but for the low price and luxury of not having to install them myself, it's not bad.
This is what it looks like - but it comes with a white cable
