Only reason I'd get a backlit keyboard is for canggih-ness.
*
normal backlit board not very canggih also.

Most china boards can made them quite easily I presume (also all china brands had their bl boards dy, lol)

Currently, the most canggih backlit mech kb (apart from the maximus...) should be ducky, individually lighted up and different bl mode.

Finding replacement keycaps for BWU had always being a headache.

Though, if you are desperate enough, you should be able to hunt fit-able doubleshot keycaps for it from group buy at GeekHack..

Most of it can't, but that doesn't mean all. I am expect more of it to come as the demand and competition increase.

Some white PBT can be half transparent.
Human10 mention difficult replacement for keys,
maybe the modifiers and window keys are different.
*
One should hunt down those GB for custom board as many custom (Korean) board are having the winkeyless (thus 1.5x modifier) layout. Though, a 6X spacebar and 1x win/menu keys may need to be obtained separately.

any particular key that is difficult to match standard sets from Taobao, Ek, and geekhack's GB?
*
Standard set from taobao are almost 1.25x modifier and 6.25x spacebar always, thus BWU for sure can't use them.

For EK, i think the same apply.

GH's DS GB sometimes having special 1.5x modifier kits, which mean it should fit, but then you probably still had some more hassle finding 1x window/menu keys (if you don't mind, you can always opt for random 1x blank key as replacement, LOL) and 6x spacebar.

Those mods and build.. Looks like a qfr TK LOL. But the functions sounds good so far.

Yup, thats what I suspected ever since the day Logi G710+ is still rumor.

BTW, Carter had confirmed that CM TK is from same OEM as Logi G710+ (though he didn't state/include Corsair, I presume the same will apply).

Seems like for some reason, gaming brands love/opt for the specific OEM instead of the more common Costar/iOne...

Also, I am hoping that the spam of gaming brands with different keys size/standard will made aftermart 1.5x modifiers (or may be even 6.5X spacebar, but the only market for it is for those gaming brands I stated just now, not to mention it isn't my concern, LOL) more common.

Meaning the CM QFR and the QF TK are different OEM?

Trigger/QFR - Costar
QFPro - iOne
QF TK - Undisclosed (but confirmed to be the same OEM as Logitech G710+)

Serious answer:
1. Locally available: Ducky Shine 2/YOTD(not sure if still had stock)
2. Available from taobao: Keycool 87 backlit

Random answer for the LOL:
1. Locally available: Armageddon Black Hornet

Costar don't oem led boards. Rm429 but you have to buy from our dealers yeah. You probably want to call for availability but all these and PBT limited edition are available in Malaysia immediately.
*
They do.

Apart from the coming soon Rosewill, there are Moinix Zibal which existed since years ago.

BTW, a lot ppl seems to be pretty sure that Ducky is also made by Costar, but the different in between ducky and costar board are too much to convince me. May be Ducky used Costar facilities but with own design and specs.

Who said ducky oem is costar? o.o quality is wayyyyy too different, even a cheap cm qfr can compare quality with filco, ducky's quality is too bad to be costar oem man.. Anyway have you seen the mionix zibal? I want try sia tongue.gif

Go check it out at GH and China's forums, some of the members (especially those from TW/China) will tell you Ducky is also made by Costar (in Chinese is 立宝)

BTW, had you personally owned a Ducky board? I guess it is more fair to Ducky if you had actually owned their boards (latest) b4 the mass defaming, LOL. (I am not a ducky fanboi nor own a ducky products) sweat.gif

On a side note, incase anyone here don't know, Ducky Zero series is China made (OEM unknown for the time being).

Brown switch sounds will work for your need, give it a try.

If BL and fullsize is a must, then you are pretty much limited to Ducky Shine or those gaming brands, LOL.

Really no idea, since Fullsize + backlit is seriously not much choice (apart from gaming brands), not to mention locally available even less.

In other words, try CM Storm Trigger (not sure if locally got brown switch).
