Finding the right board

Thread Starter 
Hey guys I'm looking to buy a new keyboard, I currently use a ducky shine with MX Reds. I would like a Tenkeyless with MX blues. I was looking at the ducky year of the dragon but I was not crazy about the branding. I have been seeing some from a company called Vortex KBC, specifically the POKER and the PURE models. I love that the board are pretty much all keys and no board but on the pictures I am seeing, it looks like you can see the circuit board behind the keys. Is this an issue or just personal preference? Also what is the build quality like on those boards. Suggestions for other brands are also welcome. Thanks! thumb.gif

If you want the normal size tenkeyless keyboard, you can choose DK9087/RACE, that is easy to use, but the kbt pure is 60%, all other key (e.g. F1 - F.10, page up/down), you need to habit "FN + ??" In the case, you play the games need use "F1", than you need press "FN + 1" = "F1"

I don't like the look of the roccat. It looks huge as well. So is the fact that the circuit board not covered an issue with the KBT Race?
