I'm from Malaysia too!
The keyboard you listed consist of different layout.
I recommend you to narrow the choices by choosing your favourite layout and also backlighting!
Pok3r Filco and DS5 are good keyboards as well.

the problem is, i love all sorts of switches and wiling to try all. tried razer green and mx reds. Probably blues next and most keyboard here have blues. Mx speed seems cool too so yeah.
And for layout, i don't "need" a specific layout but i do like 60% quite a lot. pok3r seems good but that price tho(and no white for me), i could not justify the price point myself so need opinions from you guys.
ds5 is quite overprice too imo. filco does not impress me enough. maybe just because i don't know the keyboard that well.

Pok3r is definitely a great keyboard. Before buying a 60% kb, I'm also thinking does the price justify at all? But seriously, you wont regret buying the keyboard, it has great build quality and appearance.
I bought mine from taobao for 400+myr.
Hmm DS5 IMO isnt overpriced compared to other rgb keyboard, but its appearance definitely isnt that gamer-ish as the other rgb kb.

if pok3r had f keys i would probably buy it. it is selling for 489 at ultimatch store tho. all of the pricing i provided from them too.
and no white, i relly want that white tho haha.
heard a lot about programming on the keyboard, what sort of programming they are talking about?

There are 3 total layers that are programmable.
They can register up to 32 keystrokes.
In different layer you can keybind to different keys like backslash to backspace and you will have different layout!
Personally, I dont find it useful though.
Oh, ultimate has some other great keyboard too! I persobally will recommend others to go for tkl rather than a 60%. I'm still cant get used to the lack of arrow keys for casual web browsing..
