Looking for a new fullsize keyboard.

I am torn between getting a WASD keyboard, Leopold, or Ducky w/ brown switches. I was wondering what you guys think would be a better board. I plan to upgrade the keycaps and I think there is problem with other spacebars fitting the fullsize keyboard, even the one on elitekeyboards won't fit the fullsize board. I would get a Filco but would pricey because I cannot find them in stock in the U.S. Thanks ahead of time for you help.

Ducky is okay, WASD is good.

Steer clear of the fullsized Leoplods, they do indeed use non-standard (i.e. different from their own tenkeyless) spacebars.

Thanks a lot man. I might order a filco now in fullsize.

edit: I just looked and it is going to cost me $172 including shipping. I think I need to find something cheaper.

edit: So I guess it back to Ducky and Leopold because even the WASD is a little expensive.

A lot of people like WASD over ducky
(Not to steal your thread but does anyone know if white filco 104 mx blues are ever in stock? fkbn104mc white)

I also stumbled upon a Rosewill which if I remember correctly these are great keyboards the reason most people are turned away is the logo in the top right corner. I might get one of these nothing a little spray paint and some patience can't fix.

The logo doesn't bother me that much. It's not nice enough to love but it's not it's not bad enough to bother me.

I read some reviews and according to what I read the Roswill have known issues with the micro usb connection. So I think after that I am just going to spend the extra money and get a Filco or WASD keyboard. I will let you guys know what I get.

Search around for a secondhand Filco? There's plenty around, and could be a more cost-effective option.

Wasd gets my vote for quality of product, variety as far as key customization goes, and customer service.
