I'm liking the look of a Vortex Poker II keyboard I found but it has ABS keyscaps (looks like the PBT version is sold out?). I found these translucent PBT + POM double shot keycaps http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1003 and I'm wondering if they can replace the caps on the Poker II. (noob here)

AFAIK all POKER II are PBT keycap by default

Yes, you can replace the keycap with that PBT+POM ;)

Thanks for the reply. But, from what I can tell the only Poker II keyboards available nowadays are the ABS ones (all the PBT versions are out of stock).

Not all Poker IIs are PBT. The backlit versions are ABS. And I believe some of the non-backlit ones were too, though not 100% sure on that...

Yeah and only the backlit versions are available, as far as I can see...
