kbdfans' Tiger 80 TKL keyboard is out now, looking good, really interesting Leaf spring mount structure, budget keyboard.
Don't know at what point you should stop calling them budget, but price is really good for this board.
Sound test was good too, I'm not an expert, but for me it sounded similar to Frog TKL.
I ordered one, will see in a month :)

from what i have seen they have all been PE foamed so i wouldn't be too sure on it's sound yet, i think the board is solid although the FB TKL might be the better option for me. They seem to be direct competitors of each other

HungerMechanic:
I wish they weren't all F13-layout. Freebird, NK87, Tiger, Mr. Suit.

At least Frog has normal layout.

Let's pretend for a moment that I'm really, really stupid. What's the point/idea of this F13 layout?

HungerMechanic:
Without making any value judgements, I would say that the F13 key offers an additional key that can be used as a macro key, media key, or some other assigned key beyond what a TKL can provide.

For some, it also gives a "custom" feeling, as such boards tend not to be available mass-market.
