Don't quote me on this, but I think the Tenkeyless CM storm quickfire is made by costar, and should have costar stabilizers.

Thanks for the suggestion but CM storm TKL is not exactly portable. I am looking for something similar in size to the KBC poker.

Deck 82 or Data911 TG3: It has no stabilizers on the shifts/enter/backspace, so it feels great. Only the spacebar has a (cherry) stabilizer, however for the spacebar a cherry stabilizer may be not as bad as it would be for shift/enter/backspace.

Well, it's the common issue with the costar type stabilizers, and it is easy to fix this problem.
It's because of the holes of the stabilizers not being snug up against the stabilizing wire. The wiggle room lets the keycap bounce around. One have to apply some grease to the stabilizer inserts, or using tape on the wire to fix that.

Given that Geekhack is 99% Asian I'd be careful with that generalization.

There's a link for a $50 TG3 BL82 (Deck 82) in the Great Deals forum.  If you don't mind MX Black switches, the PS/2 connector, and the fact that you'll need your own mat and feet for it, I think it'll work nicely for your purposes.
