looking for a quality brand TKL LED (RGB but maybe just White) MEMBRANE aka rubber dome keyboard. I already have a Ducky One 2 with MX Cherry Brown Mechanical on the way but I think I might actually prefer membrane let alone they cost less and often are spill proof.
currently using a Full-sized Cherry MX silent red STRAFE board (my 1st mechanical) and a SteelSeries Apex150 (a membrane board which I think I actually prefer).
I ordered the Ducky in cherry MX browns (and double shot PBT hoping they will be a bit grippy'er than ABS keys edit ABS oin fnatic ministreak TKL silent red actually feels more grippy) because I still want to give mechanical a shot and I don't really consider reds (or any linear) to be a good example of mechanical compared to a tactical switch. The cherry reds basically feel the same as a $50 Apex150 membrane since there's no tactical click in either.
But I still might end up preferring a membrane over the MX browns so I want a good membrane TLK LED.
I searched all threads from "more from this site:" of tomshardware, reddit, and Geekhack searching for "membrane" + "tkl" or "tenkeyless" or "87" and found basically nadda except for others asking the same thing.
Another thing I might prefer membrane for is key spacing. I have large hands yet I find the spacing of the Corsair Strafe Mx silent to be too far apart. And according to this link, all boards and brands with cherry switches will have the same spacing:

Now I will search ebay and google shopping etc for "tkl" and "tenkeyless" and "%80" and "87" -mechanical (minus mechanical): and see if I find any known brands but haven't found much and hoping maybe there's something good I missed, or at least to bring attention to this corner of the market which I am boggled doesn't exist (TKL+LED+rubber dome).
BTW I am hoping to find one in black, and with the same arrows section of a full sized board and INS, DEL,HOME,END,PG DN/UP keys on the right side, but minus the numberpad of a full sized board. (not looking for a keyboard that has the arrows section simplified and incorporated around the Enter key like %60 compact boards).
And looking for with dedicated function keys row at the top (doesn't use regular number keys + Fn key).
There are plenty of $25-$50 off-brand boards that fit this category but I will gladly pay around $125 if it's from a reputable quality brand because all the cheap ebay boards I used in the past broke in no time under normal conditions.
