So I currently use a Vortex Pok3r keyboard, which is a super small 60% layout board. I love it, but I'm finding more and more that for certain thigns, I miss having dedicated insert and delete keys and arrow keys. So that means I'm in the market for an 80% layout keyboard.
My list of wants:
1. MX Brown switches
2. PBT keycaps
3. Sturdy construction like the Pok3r
4. No backlight, or at least the ability to turn the backlight down.

They aren't PBT keycaps though but Quickfire keyboards are really good; you can prob remove they keycaps and replace them with PBT keycaps

Np, if you plan on changing your keycaps you should check up on Leopolds non standard spacebar and the smaller right shift which is the same size as a left shift.
Edit: Just saw this 2015 edition which apparently has a standard spacebar and other slight improvements.

So the only place I see that board in stock anywhere in on eBay from a seller in South Korea. You guys think it's safe? I don't want to get burned.

The guy i linked has lots of positive reviews, seems pretty legit, look at some of these search results if you want to put your mind at ease.

Just a heads up for anyone who may be interested in that Leopold and doesn't want to wait for shipping from Korea: I contacted mechanicalkeyboards.com and was told they should have them in stock by the end of the month and will be taking preorders this week.
