PBT's on the Backlit version? Last I checked all Poker II's with LED's had ABS caps... Massdrop please clarify this because if I get a board with ABS after being told it will be PBT I will be pissed.

tpollardYes, it's strange that PBT's are on the backlit version but that's what our purchase order and price list from the vendor says, and we've double checked and they said that's absolutely the case.

MarkMark, I really think you should double check again with the vendor. I doubt the backlit version comes with PBT caps. The last Poker 2 drop was backlit only, how come it didn't come with PBT caps? If it didn't come with PBT caps last time, why would they do it for you this time and at the similar price range? PBT is pricier than ABS. Perhaps it is the language barrier, you may need to find someone who speaks the vendor's local dialect and clarify things up a bit.
Since you guys were confused on the MX Clear option, you need to be 200% sure about this backlit with PBT caps options. And your colleague has been making some mistakes/typos on 3 separate drops so far. You guys really need to get your stuff together. Your whole business is organizing buys directly from the manufacturers, I would assume you would double or even triple check before you put stuff for sale. You guys are a rapidly growing business, making a mistake like this is beyond words.
bassI agree, this has never been offered before and is extremely likely to be a mistake.

bassTo be honest, I doubt the backlit version features PBT keycaps simply because I've never seen any sort of transparent keycap that utilizes PBT. Given the miscommunication errors we've already seen from this vendor, I would assume that the backlit version uses either just ABS or an ABS-polycarbonate blend to achieve the transparent keycap legends.

IacoizumiWe will see what MD is going to say tomorrow. The only board I know that comes with shine through PBT key caps is Deck. I prefer the plain old PBT caps with no light anyway, fewer things to break down.
I hope my Leopold FC660M will indeed come with dye sub PBT caps instead of ABS caps and LEDs. Everything seems quite possible now on MD. :p
