Royal Kludge RK61 vs Leopold FC750R

The lights shine brighter than my N-Pro and are on par with most high quality keyboards. You can control the animation, color, speed and brightness wi...

Lastly, for Christmas I picked up the [Leopold keyboard with Cherry Silent Reds and it's amazing. I didn't particularly feel like waiting half a year for a group buy, so I'm glad I was able to find a prebuilt that's a huge improvement over what I've been using

I picked my Royal Kludge RK100 up for $80, it's usually $90 but there was a coupon that popped up on amazon. For $80, I couldn't be *too* upset about the lack of dissasembly options and the raised LEDs, but had I known that was the situation, I likely would have just gotten a Keychron K4 instead for a little bit more.

Unfortunately the Leopold had a couple issues, the keycaps are much more narrow than the Das and when combined with the Silent Reds the keys feel really heavy and take much more force than the browns on the Das. The shift key in particular is really stiff on my pinky.

So the back plate is made out of plastic with minimal flex, and the keycaps don't experience a lot of wobbling, except for the space bar and the shift...

I'd suggest you get a Leopold FC750R instead. It has solid build quality, good mounting and fantastic keycaps. It's the enthusiast's go-to prebuilt TKL keyboard and it's a step up from the Fnatic in terms of pretty much everything other than RGB while being around the same price. It will serve you well for many years
