I have a hard time deciding on my first mechanical keyboard. Based from what i want (tenkeyless, MX Blues) i have narrowed it down to Filco Majestouch 2, Leopold Otaku and KBC Poker. Are there others that i are equally as good or better than those choices? Is there a reason to specifically pick one or the other?

Here's a recent thread about first time Tenkeyless options, considering back lights, key caps etc.
The Poker is a 60% keyboard – a smaller size again than TKL – which merges the arrow keys etc. into the function layer. So you press fn + right shift, for example, to send an up arrow. What you lose in dedicated keys, you gain in saved space. They're tiny.

Thanx for claryfing that. I wasnt aware that the arrows only worked via functions keys, i was mesmerized by the look of that keyboard that i missed that somehow.
So clearly i'm looking for a Tenkeyless option.
My lead options are still Filco Majestouch 2, Leopold Otaku and i would possibly like to addd Ducky DK9087G2 PRO on that list. QuickFire Rapid i dont like. I know people say its chepaer but something about its look, font and logos, dont seem right to me...
