Thanks for the info!! Sorry, didn't know that PBT + backlight don't go together (lol I thought my research "mencukupi" but apparently not). I'll probably wind up going with the PBT & sacrifice backlight as I really really hate the "shiny" look of worn keycaps.

However, with Filco keyboards I've seen a lot of ppl saying that when they wanted to replace the keys, the spacebar was a problem. Would the Leopold be more standard if I want to change keycaps?

I'm a banana so may have some trouble with taobao (unless I can bribe one of my chinese-literate pals lol), so prob not my first choice. Is there anyplace else I could look at mech keyboards locally?

Also, how's the key stability for the above boards which you recommended? E.g. Ducky uses cherry stabilizer for large keys on its keyboards, whereas Filco just uses a wire.

Do hope to hear from others!

From your words, they clearly shows you've done your homework, just some minor minor details error    don't worry we're all learning.

Well, regarding the spacebar compatibility problem.. Leopold is the one who has problem.. whereas Filco and Ducky doesn't have that problem.

so far, most of the after-market spacebars could fit both standard and leopold's

Whether Ducky's Cherry stabilizer or Filco's Costar stabilizer... it's a matter of personal preference, some prefer costar's, some prefer cherry's

It's up to you bro

from ur pov which stabilizer is good cherry or costar? what so important to know about these stabilizer act? Im a hardcore gamer, is it can affect my gaming so much?

Cherry stabilizers and Blue switches are bad.
Otherwise, it's pretty much okay if you don't care much.

I'd tell you more about lubed switches and how it affects feeling on the Cherry stabilizers but you'd probably do not want to care as much.

I'm interested! Do tell me more, am looking to get my first mech kb soon and want to get it absolutely right, don't have money to experiment with several different keyboards.

Have done my research but everytime I think I've pinned my specs down someone surprises me with something I didn't know, lol. If you don't mind, could you look at my post (here) and rec me some mech keyboards?

does anyone try filco yellow keycaps version? curious if the keycaps wud visible in the dark coz the yellow colors seems glowing

Actually as mentioned b4, the BL keycaps on Deck are PBT. But it is close to extinction/not possible to land our hand on, thus it isn't really concerning us...

Filco's keycaps standard are pretty much standard. You won't face problem with most replacement keycaps.

does anyone know where i can buy R0-59 in malaysia?

btw,
I'm thinking to design a keyboard by my ownself.

Imagine o, what condition, with what kind of features, quality you'll buy a custom built brand?

I mean, generally, what you guys normally look at for a mechanical kb?
