zz,,what the ..... Why mechanical keyboard can't have backlit. Then legend and Xarmor also not mechanical already.
The backlit do nothing with the switches, simply some lighting effect of the extra LED.

Because of the switches there, so very limited space left compared to the rubber dome keyboard. Difficult to put in the LED and connect all of them with power supply some more with adjustable brightness level.
Anyway , there is really some existing mechanical keyboard with backlit like deck legend, Blackwindow Ultimate, Xarmor U9BL. Don't know why backlit has becoming the trend of gaming keyboard, act most of the time the light just the gimmick or some luxury made the keyboard look better but not really improved anything, but think in future more and more backlit mechanical keyboard will come out.

Ya agree, if say they stated it as Malaysia retail price means that is the final price after reach into Malaysia.

I am not sure what you means by the thickness. Do you talk about the key caps profile? You can measure the thickness of key caps by using ruler? it cant be right.

So usually thinner key caps hit the keyboard base will created higher pitch sound.
Whereas the thicker key caps will create lower pitch sound which is not that noisy and annoying. (that why the thicker key caps have more advantages)

The loudness is not really depends on the thickness but the force you apply to hit the key caps. Just my 2 cent.

Cyberclean is more to clean dust.
I believe you usually clean your BW is because the glossy end key caps.
To clean those fingerprint, i think micro fiber cloth will better.

Maybe just use cyber clean to clean the dust first the use the cloth to clean the fingerprint.
Actually every time after use the cyber clean, all the key caps will become abit sticky, so wipe them properly is impertant, before some printing fade off.
