Looks like a poker II, what's the "basic" difference? I would like a 60% for my first mech but can't decide

jmanuelPoker II has a programmable layer. Also, on the Poker II backlighting is optional and only one color with no fancy "breathing" mode. You can adjust the brightness up and down as needed.
I have a V60 and I have a Poker II. If I had to choose one, it would be the Poker II. For a straight out of the box board, pretty much nothing beats that programmable layer.

InanisI was actually going to go with the Poker II as well, but after a little research I found these: http://www.hardcoreware.net/kbp-v60-mini-review/ and http://www.hardcoreware.net/vortex-kbc-poker-ii-keyboard-review/ which seem to make some good points in favor of the V60.
Also, AFAIK, you can turn the backlight off on the V60, plus you can choose between two colors rather than one.

Loonybin0Also a big selling point for me is the ability to permanently use the (win, menu, ctrl, right shift) keys as arrow keys. I'm not sure if you can do this on the poker ii without holding down PN or FN to activate a programmed layer.

teainhaler77I don't see anything about that feature. Could you point me to where you see that? If so, that's an instant buy for me.

angerthosenearif you press FN+enter , the right (win, menu, ctrl, right shift) keys will become as arrow keys. And the white LED under right shift key will light up.

angerthosenearIt's in the manual which can be found here: http://rabbitwebfactory.com/pages/v60
I also have the Matias version of this board, and this feature is the main reason why I didn't buy a poker ii.

teainhaler77I bought a V60 just because it was much cheaper than the poker and had backlights. After a few months of use, I don't know why anyone would prefer the poker.
The placement of the arrow keys on the V60 are just perfect. Being able to use Fn+ P(up)L(left);(down): (right) with using just my right hand turned out to be much more practical than I thought. This being my first 60% keyboard, I figured that I would miss having the arrow keys... then I realized that this keyboard has three sets of arrows!
