Buy a white Poker II without LEDs: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item//white-kbc-poker-2-61keys-mecha/lid=37280970
Then buy some white LEDs: http://www.wayjun.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=443
And solder them in. Great keyboard, great keycaps, white... lots of white. Those LED's are good, too. I put some in my Pure.
I didn't know that that would be possible. Is it pretty simple (I can solder, I mean as in does the pcb have a spot on it to accept the LEDs.
Y, if you can solder it's an easy mod. You just have to make sure you put them in the right way round (the correct polarity).
Pardon my noobishness. I am new here ... XD... Would a race 2 be able to have such a mode be done to it as well? There is a race 2 in the classifieds is why I am asking.
Hmmm... the Race 2. It's a nice enough board, but if you ever want to try other keycaps you've got a problem. The layout is too different and requires keycaps in sizes that NO aftermarket sets use. So you're stuck with stock caps.
AFAIK, they come with LED's already installed, so you'd have to desolder the old ones to put white ones in. That's a fair bit more work than just popping the new ones in, but not too much.
A little trick that helps when replacing LED's is to use one of the old ones as a template and cut all the leads of the LED's to length before installing them. This prevents the leads from drawing the solder out the hole when putting them in and leading to cold joints. When installing LED's in clear holes, though, you can just solder them in and trim the leads after.
