Poker 2 is cherry stabs, while Filco is costar.

The mods won't fit, but everything else will.

What? Stabs have no bearing on anything. Filco set main 61key block will be 100% compatible.

All keys will work.  For the mods (shifts, space bar, enter, backspace), you just have to remove the white plastic from the bottom of the stems in order for them to fit properly into the Poker 2 stabilizers.

That is if you're pulling them off a Filco keyboard.  If you're just buying new key cap sets, they don't include any of that, so you can just plug and type. ;)
