I need help finding a new keyboard

I need help finding a keyboard for my setup. here are the requirements:

*Must be a membrane switch or a super cheap red mechanical. I really prefer membrane

*LED backlit. preferred to be able to change the color 

*Minimum of 1 USB pass through

*Reasonably priced

As simple as that sounds, you can't find too much out there. I know Logitech works with membrane mostly but none of them are what I'm looking for. If you know of a board that fits what I'm looking for please let me know!

By super cheap I mean less than around $80. I can't believe I didn't find the k40, I heavily looked into the k50 not too long ago but decided it was too much. how is the k30?

I have the K30, only diff between it and the 40 is that it only lights up red, not any color you want. But I love it, really easy to use and set up!

Steelseries Apex or Apex RAW

 

I using the Apex right now, membrane, RGB backlit, 2 usb pass through hub, custom keys. The Apex is $99 and Apex RAW is $69 but I got it around $80 when it was on sale, it's a bit wider because of the extra keys but comes in handy. Apex RAW is white lighting only and has 2 less layers.

I guess it doesn't matter too much, does it?
