CardamomI'm leaning toward this one.
As my first mechanical keyboard I'm looking for a smaller profile since my keyboard tray is kinda small. Being unsure whether I can live without 10-key, I'm hoping this won't leave me with any regrets down the road.
I'm pretty confident in my soldering ability so the LEDs can come later, having a choice of color gives this the edge over the Cooler Master TK for me as well, which is similarly priced at this initial price. Unlocking the lowest price would make this a no-brainer.

pnd4This has the same layout as the Quickfire TK, right? I'll go over my experience with selecting and ultimately ditching the QfTK.
On the one hand, loved having my hands closer together while still being able to tap the right Enter key with my right thumb.
On the downside, I forgot I *need* both my arrow keys and numpad available at the same time while working in Photoshop. I thought I could fix this with a secondary numbpad, but forgot the num lock would toggle both the main board and add-on keypad.
Wound up selling my Quickfire TK and picking up a standard TKL board to go along with the separate numpad. I really miss that right-side Enter key. The QfTK was an amazing browsing/gaming keyboard - I just couldn't use it for work.

KouriActually, after joining the drop last night, I got hit with buyer's remorse and have since been researching heavily.. Turns out, the layouts aren't exactly the same. The most notable difference I saw is the PrntScr ScrLck and Pause/Break keys. For Linux users, like myself, the Plum implementation should be favorable.
