Something Filco if you want a pre-built. Not sure what Leopold's full-sized are like, but they're probably good too.

Leopold 900R with thick PBT side print caps, MX reds. Very solid keyboard.

Do they have a removable cable?

I'll hush.

Ducky Shine 4 Community Edition if you can find someone selling theirs. I use it for everything from gaming to typing essays. MX Clears fo lyfe!
-
You can get a Ducky and not use the LEDs. Good solid keyboards, removable cables (not the Zero series though). Standard layout makes keycap swapping a breeze.

ducky then :thumb:

I would say Filco (for costar stabs) or Ducky (for cherry stabs).
Filco has the new Convertible model, that can work over bluetooth, but even if you don't care about that, it still has a detachable cable (you have to pay the premium though).
Ducky has a ton of models these days and one of them will surely tick your boxes, but be weary of cherry stabilizers. People here will tell you you can just do a "clip mod" on them and they should feel the same, but my personal experience differs.
We have about 15 keyboard enthusiasts in the office, among them there is at least 8 people using Ducky, and each of them has a different model. Some of the models are even meant to have "preclipped" stabilizers. However, every single person in the office agrees that the stabilizers on my Filco are by far superior to every other keyboard. I've also done a cherry stabilizer clip mod / lubing myself, and the difference compared to Filco was still very noticeable. The stabilizers on the majority of the Ducky keyboards in the office rattle loudly out of the box.
Take it with a grain of salt, since that's my personal experience. Your mileage may vary with a different Ducky model (and/or luck with their QA department).
EDIT: we have one other person with a Filco Majestouch 2 in the office. I bought mine personally in Japan, he bought his via MechKB store. Both of them feel exactly the same to the point I probably wouldn't recognize which is which if I swapped my caps onto his, so maybe that says something about consistency, I don't know.

well i don't care about the stab cuz i dont type on the keyboard that I'm gonna buy, instead i will use my hhkb thx for the reply tho

Don't really have much to add: Ducky or Leopold are both great options.
What type of gaming? The switch type should be decided by the person who will use it, but both Leopold and Ducky full size boards offer a good choice of switch types.

This is probably one not much thought of, but the Cherry G80-3850 MX Board 3.0. This has been one of my favorite boards that I have owned and I abandoned it (still have it) because of the size after I discovered 60%. The best feature of this board is the cherry profile keycaps. They are lower than any key on any other board and it makes a huge difference in typing feeling that I have not been able to duplicate elsewhere. It's also cheap, under 100 bucks. It doesn't have some of the fancier bells and whistles of other gaming boards, but it get's my vote. Worth checking out.

Those aren't cherry profile, they are low profile but different from anything else out there.
Also the caps lock has a proprietary stem spacing so you won't be able to replace that cap with any other sets.

If you are going to mod it anyway most people act like Filco boards are a paint to desolder and if you get a backlit ducky thats a bunch of extra desoldering, I do not know how the leopold is to desolder.

They're not. Source: own(ed) a MJ2

WASD V2. You can buy it barebones if you plan to put your own keycaps on it and save $50. Detachable cable and build quality on par with Filco. Costar stabs.
-
Another vote for WASD V2.
-
CM Storm XT, Costar built with removable cable.
:D

I'll hush.
I know what you're thinking. ;)
