Sorry about the triple post, this is my first forum.

it;s alright, GH is having some multiple-post issues right now, it's not a normal thing.
Either way, welcome to Geekhack! I have a DS3 with blacks, and I really like it. My favorite light setting is aurora.
You should look at the Ducky Mini and KBP V60. They're my 2 favorite 60% boards. The miniLA is up there as well, if you like arrow keys.
GMK Miami is in the works, so get hype for that.

Thank you for the suggestions, the KBP V60 does look like a good choice as well and appears to be easier to find with clears. I do really like the feel of the browns, except the actuation is a little light, so next will be clears then greens. Aurora mode is hypnotizing, I enjoy the reactive myself. On the topic of the miami set I contacted Techkeys and the said they would have them in stock again, but have also been watching the thread pertaining to the GMK Miami. Now i just have to figure out the difference between the two or if their is one, lol.

If you want miami info from the source, contact bunnylake on here via PM. He runs CTRL[ALT], the company that originally made the miami set. Him and i3oilermaker (the techkeys guy) are fairly friendly, so you'll see some CTRL[ALT] sets there every now and then.

Welcome to Geekhack!
A nice shopping list you have :)
Btw there are rumours of a GMK Miami set ;) Or you can just keep an eye out for an SP set, they do turn on in classifieds from time to time.

Oops, looks like I replied to the wrong one :))
Welcome anyway!

Welcome to GeekHack.
I second the suggestion for the KBP V60. I also second that browns are a bit light. It does come in clears, though.
The Leopold FC660M (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/leopold-fc660m) comes with clears and several different keycap/case color options as well as dedicated arrow keys. I joined for the clears and mint, side-printed PBT keycaps. Pretty affordable for clears.

Can't go wrong with a 60%. Welcome to the site.
As for the Miami sets...
Original Miami run was in DCS profile and manufactured by Signature Plastics (SP). The Miami GB coming up is going to be in Cherry profile and it'll be made by GMK(?). GMK sets are pretty spectacular, in my opinion, and many others on the forum also share the same opinion. They're generally considered to be better quality and feel great to type on. There's also plenty of information around on both the profiles and manufacturers if you just do some searching. :D
Or like Tactical said and just PM Bunz. He'll answer all your questions and is a great guy.
Edit: Just remembered that I was thinking of the GMK Hyperfuse buy coming up...I'm not sure if the Miami GB coming up is actually going to be made by GMK. It'll have Cherry legends, though. My mistake.

The KBP V60 has me rethinking a project i was planning, looking to put some uv leds ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8662 ) on the pcb and grab a set of uv reactive keycaps, and the poker 2 seemed like a good fit for that project. I have been glancing at the leopold FC660M but the location of the delete/insert keys kinda seems like a waste of space, yet still an interesting design.
