If you want ansi layout , you would have to buy in from the US.

Id recommend qtan

Processing and shipping is slow, but everything usually shows up to the best of my knowledge.

bg isn't reliable but they do the job.

It'll take around 2+ weeks to get the item, but it will be there and it will be cheaper than most other places. So take it with a grain of salt

The backlighting is very good on the vortex boards from what I've seen, if a little but dimmer than most.

The Poker 2 is a very nice board, and you can put any standard ANSI/ISO set on it, as there are no layout quirks.

ANSI Poker 2 from Banggood is about 80€ at the moment. They also have some nice blank POM and PBT caps which will fit for less than 20€ a set. Shipping is free, but it takes a LONG time. You can choose tracked shipping which is quite reasonably priced and should arrive sooner.

I am very happy with the sets of caps I bought from them.
Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.

Poker 2 seems to be the perfect 60% size keyboard to me but i dont really like those dark grey PBT keys, any chance to find full black keycaps compatible with?

http://www.banggood.com/POM-87-Set-Blank-Key-Caps-Black-Keycaps-For-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-p-84081.html

These are blank black POM. Nice keycaps, especially for the price. Any ANSI keycaps sets will fit, so you really have a LOT of options. Look through the Group Buys section for sets or ask in the Keycaps section. You can also get caps from:

http://pimpmykeyboard.com/

http://keycapsdirect.com/marketplace.php

http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keycap-set.html

http://www.keyboardco.com/index.asp

And many other places.

Pexon seems to have the Poker 2 with Red switches. That might suit you.

I don't have a Poker, but here are the keycaps as I got them from Banggood:

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48643.msg1107427#msg1107427

That thread is all about the Banggood keycaps and there are some photos of boards with them on. They are a bit thinner than the stock Poker caps.

If you like Cherry profile thick PBT keycaps and want black, Ivan currently has a group buy going: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50935.msg1117903#msg1117903

They will be the same colours as Realforce black on black keycaps.

i go back to square one, Bg did not have Poker 2 in their stocks.
i highly dislike this kind of business behavior
when i orderered, it was pretty clear, they had in stock and now its back order (like mostly out of stock)
that why i contacted Qtan before ordering anything
