Mike,

I just bought a Zhuque tenkeyless:

https://www.amazon.com/Team-Wolf-Swappable-Mechanical-Keyboard-Black/dp/B01BK01GX8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485170889&sr=8-1&keywords=zhuque+keyboard

So far, I'm quite happy with it. Only the NAQP SSB with it in use, but it
felt good :-)  Very pretty lights as well.
