Unprinted tenkeyless keyboard

[SeekaX]

I finally want to move on from my rather cheap and bulky tTesports challenger and i have a very specific idea of a well fitting keyboard.

I will definitely import the keyboard, i think it's about time to get the US layout, i will need to get used to it sooner or later anyways. I play at a very low sensitivity, the Challenger is pretty damn annoying in that sense, the unprinted keys are just a stylistic idea, but since i saw them i just cannot get a liking of a printed layout. Blue switches because i will use this keyboard a lot of typing and i like the clicky noise.
My price range is around the 100$ mark, not including shipping.
I spotted the keyboard i want already a couple days ago, the Leopold FC200RC/ABN

It's quite perfect for me, minimalistic, no fancy LED lighting, but then again i highly doubt that any unprinted keyboard has LED backlight.
Now here is the catch, i cannot order it before the 25th of may, and that is bugging me.

So i was searching for some alternatives, all i came up with after about two hours were the Ducky DK9087G2 and the Keycool Grey Version 84.

The ducky has some cool looks to it, unfortunately it's a good bit more expensive as well, 125$.

What i like about they Keycool is the even more "compressed" key layout, the price is quite nice as well, but the obvious downside is the printed layout. that pretty much kills it for me, i couldn't find an unprinted version unfortunately

So guys, do you have any more recommendations?

Would it be possible to get the last keyboard and chemically remove the characters?

personally i'd suck it up and get the ducky they're well known to be one of the best mate.

Personally, I've had a white keyboard once but never again. They just get dirty so darn quickly. And my hands are usually pretty clean

i estimate the costs to be at about 150€. including shipping and taxes. should be manageable. i still got 1-2 days to overthink it until my paypal account is activated.

yea i had that concern as well, i might just get a rag and clean up every once in a while.

/edit
alright i am not sure if the ducky is worth it, i do prefer the looks of the leopold, especially because it is going to be easier to keep clean, it's a good bit lighter iirc and with the 10-14 days delivery time of mechanicalkeyboards.com i might as well just wait for the leopold to get back in stock, it's a few bucks cheaper and will arrive at approximately the same time.
