I will list down according to the rating I heard around the webs.
1. Deck Legend(not available in Malaysia) - a legend of backlit mech kb which is both pricy, durable and rare. only having black or clear switches
2. Mionix Zibal(not available in Malaysia) - a clone copy of Thermaltake Meka G1 or WASD keyboard. should be quite well built as it made by the Costar(the one who made FILCO). heard their BL integrated well with the keyboard but durability of keycaps isn't too great(but it is expected as all coated things should eventually come off).
3. Ducky Shine - a glowing version of Ducky 9000 series keyboard. the comments from owners(may included other brands' fanboys and trolls) are both OK and suck, thus you better search around by yourself.
4. Razer BWU - ahem ahem... I can say that the built quality of it is quite suck and having quite lots of flaws. Except if you plan to do come modding on it, it should be avoided.
5. Tesoro Durandale - a clone brother of Razer BWU. Not sure bout the qualities of it as so far I only heard it from China.

Upcoming/Available from taobao:
1. Noppoo Choc Pro/Mini with BL - among the cheapest BL mech keyboard out there.
2. KBT Race(and the upcoming Pure) - mini/compact mechanical keyboard with backlit. made by KBT(keyboard enthusiast) from taiwan, so the qualities probably won't be too sucky...
3. CM Storm Trigger and Quickfire Rapid Pro(may come to Malaysia market in future) - probably made by iOne(same OEM as Razer BWU). you can choose to go CM Storm Trigger over Razer BWU for it's better design and layout. quality wise still unsure.
4. Keycool 87 with backlit(still on rumor, may enter market by end of this month) - No much details till now. Probably won't be too sucky as KC's keyboards are so far quite well built.
5. Ducky Dragon year edition(still on rumor, may enter market by next month) - No much details. The rumors sound too good to be true.

Partial BL(mean may be on WASD had BL):
1. Ducky 9008G2 Pro - Ducky G2 with some LED under WASD
2. Thermaltake Meka G unit - Nice looking board(white color) but the design is too exaggerated.

look like CM Storm Trigger already release in Taiwan

They are not some professional mechanical kb manufacturer, thus they are finding OEM to make their product.
The last mech kb(Quickfire Rapid) is made by Costar. Their upcoming product such as Trigger and Quickfire Rapid Pro are probably from iOne.

You can see that features, aesthetics and structures wise, they look quite identical to Razer BWU and Tesoro Durandale(BWU's clone brother).
That mean the quality will as suck as BWU?
