- detachable usb cable

- backlight - white/green              , blue/pink/magneta/red/yellow and all others are off the chart

any suggestions?

Disregarding everything you think you need.. because I know better than you.. ask NE-one

Get the Ergodox.

strictly speaking - backlights don't work out very well for PBT or doubleshots unless the first shot is translucent polycarbonate. If you want backlights - you're going to have to settle for laser etched caps which are typically thin ABS.

Recommendations: Wait for Ducky Shine 3 TKL version (supposedly late September).

If you can forego the backlight then get a Leopold FC700R. It has PBT caps by default, and is a pretty nice board. There is a vendor from Indonesia that has been selling them on our classifieds, but he's currently out of stock. He should have some more the beginning of next month I think I read.

If you're on a budget you could get a CM QuickFire Rapid and buy a set of aftermarket PBT caps (Vortex in white for $40 + shipping comes to mind from techkeys.us).

I suggest not bothering about the keycaps when buying the keyboard because anyway no keyboard comes with thick cherry profile keycaps and it's the most simple thing to change on a keyboard and there are regular GB for some in here.

So focus on the other features you want and then you can always change keycaps later. If you want a good quality tkl backlit keyboard, Ducky is probably one of your best bet. I don't own one, but I never saw a bad review about them.

i wanted to quote but there's too much, thanks for help. Everyone of u got right especially u TP4;) althought for now, 1st tricky to get, 2nd cash not quite yet there;)[that was about ergo]. as for other guys all given keyboards are missing sth like backlight or cable isn't detachable.

that sounds good and smart, but for backlight i know it has rainbow:D but does it have detachable usb cable?

yep already have ducky and i had possibility to work for couple days on filco, well for this words i can start war but what a heck.... for me build quality filco and ducky are very similar and my last purchase of pro2 with PBT was the best i ever made (obviously we don't count model m:)).

anyways thank you guys for response i'll wait for ducky 3 to come with TKL (my first smaller than normal keyboard)...... last thing ppl which are using TKL are you missing a lot digits on right? is possible to live without them? i hate using laptop/notebook keyboards for that part... so maybe that whole thing is f*ed up idea?(for me getting TKL)?
