Because shipping to Poland is ridiculously high $109 for keyboard (whis is not even in stock) + $56 for shipping. Don't you think it's not worth the cost ?

Wolfik, I suggest you check out the Geekhack and Deskthority forums. There is many Europeans on these forums and I am sure one of them can help point you in the right direction. Someone on there may even sell you a spare keyboard. Good luck!

I've been posting on Geekhack for a few days now and mailing many reseller but very few of them replyed. For most part they just don't ship keyboards to Europe. I know that PCgear.co.kr and Iomania.co.kr can ship parcels around the world. What I need is a small guidance how to order a board form these sites. I only need to have the switch type and shipping confirmed. I cannot do this by myseld as I don't know Korean at all.
#edit.
Maybe there is any Korean who is speaking English and wants to help with this ? It requires taking a few screenshots and writing a few lines of translated text. Of course I used google translate but it doesn't translate *.jpgs.

Just recently purchased a Leopold with black switches.
It's a really great keyboard. I don't prefer the detachable USB cable. There was some issues where the keyboard would disconnect from windows during the game and I had to ensure that it was tightly inserted and elevated the cord slightly and I haven't had the issue since.
I have a leopold with blacks, filco ten-keyless with blues, and Das with browns.
From my experiences with each board if you are looking to get a great mechanical keyboard and you're unsure of what to get, purchase a filco 104 with browns. If you get the ten-keyless and have to do anything for work/school you will miss the keypad. The brown switches probably are the best overall. Blues are ok but they feel a little plasticy to me. Blacks are fine for me because I bottom out on each keystroke -- but browns meet all the needs.

alot of the korean website usually don't ship outside korea. http://global.pchome.com.tw/ has $20 shipping to Europe. They don't sell leopolds but have several otherbrands that are equal in quality. Or you can order from keyboardco.com which has a wide variety of filcos

Is a mechanical gonna be significantly better? From what I've read I think I'd prefer red switches.
I would consider the Cherry brand boards budget boards. They aren't as well made as the other brands, even though they make the switches. If u want to save money, focus on small form factor layouts: 80%s and tenkyeless.
The board u linked is not mechanical.

Actually I think I'll take advantage of the black widow deal. It's my first mechanical, so I'm sure I'll love whatever I get.

I've read that the 9000 series have better quality for the price than the 1000 series but I don't really remember the exact differences. Maybe ask at geekhack if you don't get any answers here.

Did a lot of reading the past few hours. I think either black(6gv2) or red(rk-9000re or leopold FC 500r) is for me. Honestly I think if I went black I wouldn't mind the actuation force because I bottom out my current keys anyway. I'm just unsure how much this would affect my typing dexterity from changing from a rubberdome. In which case red switches sound appealing too, but they're also more expensive than the 6gv2. The multimedia function on the 6gv2 is a big plus to me. Are there any cons to the 6gv2 that I should be aware about? Can anyone give a comparison between the Rosewill and Leopold? What would be the order of preference between the 3 that I should buy?

The 6gv2 has a slightly non-standard layout, some people don't like this. It also limits your options if you want to get a new set of keycaps (either to look cool: WASD, or get better quality plastic caps).
If neither of these things bother your then 6gv2 should be ok. Imo you shouldn't have any problem with the black switches if you are used to rubber domes.
Rosewill and Leopold are basically the same in quality (6gv2 is seen to be slightly lower, but nothing to worry about). They do have different stabilisers though, so the large keys will feel different (the rosewill ones are usually argued to be better).
Which should you get? Depends on the price you can get for them and which switch you want.

I've come to the conclusion that I want a mech keyboard with brown switches after looking though the OP, and I'm liking the look of the Zowie Celeritas, MX Brown linked as a recommendation, but since I'm from Canada it would be about $130 not including taxes, and I'm on kind of a budget. I'm definitely willing to look at other boards, but does anyone have any recommendations for brown switch budget keyboard? I'm trying to keep it <$120 included shipping to Canada.

hi, I messed up my left shift key. I was wondering if I could (myself) change the keyswitch with another key's from the same keyboard.
