Poker 2 Backlit Keycaps
« on: Mon, 29 September 2014, 11:18:50 »
I recently got a back-lit Poker 2 through MassDrop and quickly realized it didn't come with back-lit keys.

MassDrop also has a drop for some Vortex back-lit keys ending real soon. I was thinking of joining the drop, but before I did was wondering if anyone had a better recommendation? I was hoping to find Poker 2 specific caps (with the fn layer text on the keys) but some quick Google searches came up with nothing.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Let us know what they're like.

Thanks! Interesting...they look a lot like the stock keys from my CM Trigger. The paint on those came off within a year which makes me a little apprehensive.

Thanks! I also had another question about back-lit keycaps while we're on the topic.

I got some LED color changers the other day to use on my Poker 2. I stole a few keys from my CM Trigger and notice that my purple changers are showing up as more of a pink. Any thoughts on if this is due to the color changer, LED, or the keycap? The LED is white, and the keycap itself is made out of more of a white plastic rather than clear. Wasn't really sure what was influencing it the most (this is my first time messing around with white LEDs and color changers).

imsto white PBT also let a lot of light through. They are the ideal backlit Keycap IMO.

I can post a pic of my backlight modded poker 2 with imsto keycaps if you like.
