Highly customizable with led, casing.
The stocked keycaps is pbt materials which long lasting for typist use.
And the price is worth and affordable.

If you coding, then go for Filco Majestouch 2 TKL.
Since you using touch typing and LED absolutely redundant for typist.

If you don't mind the short space bar, and don't plan to put aftermarket keyset, why not.

How bout the Razer BW tournament edition? The current edition featuring Razer switch.

No one here will recommend Razer, and that's not excluding me biggrin.gif

Why not Code Keyboard?
*
That's why I never see Razer discussion over here sweat.gif

About the Code Keyboard, I never press MX Clear and Green before. Is it close to Blue Switch?

TBH, I only try Blue and Razer switch in real life. sweat.gif

Not recommended.
The reason not recommended because finding replacement keycaps is hard for this keyboard especially for the spacebar.

Standard layout comes with 1.25x modifiers and 6.25x spacebar.

Filco Majestouch 2 TKL is the best quality and feel among all the manufactured keyboards.
I advised you to avoid this brand Razer.
Please look at my old post here.
Now you know new mechanical switch of Razer just a rebranding of kailh (clone Cherry MX).
Why kailh switch bad?
You click this link, you will understand. http://imgur.com/a/7ujle
Kailh switches infamous for low quality and easily broken stem if you pull your keycaps hard.

For mechanical keyboard, we always looking for long lasting.
So, I always not recommend trash to others.
*
I always thought they "invent" another Switch, so they actually rebrand from something doh.gif

Thanks for the insight.

I'm trying to find ten keyless kb and I use Mac. All the kb will work with Mac right?

FYI, MX Blue and MX Green are basically the same, they both are tactile+clicky, just different spring where MX Green has harder spring (about 80g)
MX Clear is tactile, almost similar to MX Brown, but it has more tactile and harder spring (about 70g)

Is it as loud as Blue? Tbh, I like it louder than not laugh.gif

they generally sounded the same to me, though sometimes our mind plays some trick to our ears thinking that it should sound louder with harder spring.
the plate and casing is the only thing that could affect how loud it'll be.

otherwise, buckling spring is your best option for the loud clicky.
didn't try alps before...so i can't comment on that tongue.gif

1 thing I dislike is must buy from their website from oversea. Oh well, my mechs kb search continue...

For manufactured keyboard,
Native support using DIP switch is useful when your typing layout is using the common 1. Like qwerty, dvorak, colemak.
If you using custom layout then definitely need go for Karabiner to remap the keys you want.

go lowyat there is a lot of keyboards to test i think blue is your best opinion for  cherry Mx switches or brown.you can test CM strom and Filco at viewnet i went there last week there even having green switches you might sa well try out before buying and your hand is the best judge we only give you advice  brows.gif
