Which MX Blue Based Keyboard Would You Suggest?

I've been thinking about getting a new keyboard but have been lost on what keyboard I want to get. I'm trying to find a keyboard with Cherry MX Blue key switches that is around the $100-$200 price range and preferably with blue back lit keys (to try and follow the color scheme of my G502), but RGB lighting will work just as well. Do the good people of the LLT Community have any good suggestions?

 

*Note* the $100-$200 price range is a loose price range. I'll be okay if it's more or less than the price range just so long as it's not a ridiculously high priced keyboard.

Any Cooler Master keyboard, or any Corsair keyboard (if you can find their Cherry MX Blue versions). Those are the top two brands I recommend, you can't go wrong with them. Of course there are other good brands like Ducky and Filco. But CM and Corsair are the brands I've had the most personal experience with.

Thank you for the input you guys, I do find it quite helpful since I haven't owned many mechanical keyboards.

The K70 RGB doesn't come in MX Blues and I wouldn't recommend the normal K70 because of the LED burnout issues that many people have had before.

 

@666BOOMBOX666 I would recommend that you look into Ducky or Cooler Master keyboards :)

EDIT: Make sure to follow your topic @OP!

I like mice and keyboards and the sort

K70/K95 owners don't care what anyone wants, just recommends a Corsair, always.

 

 

Ducky Zero has good quality for the price and blue LEDs

Agreed, there's so many Corsair keyboard owners on here, that it's recommended over and over again - which is also a reason why there are so many owners on here. 

Granted, of course they are good keyboards, but they are expensive as heck. And IMO they don't look that great, and have that annoying non standard bottom row.

 

I think Coolermaster have a really good range - depending on look and price you desire. My main driver is a Ducky Shine 3 though.

 

I repeat - still good keyboards :)

Now my question is this, Does anyone know where I can actually purchase Ducky keyboards? My search results keep popping up with nothing that actually fits my bill for what I'm looking for.

Ducky Legend or shine 4 IMO. I got one the other week and love it, especially with the blue leds. You could also have a look at WASD keyboards, however they don't do blue led backlighting.

I ordered mine from kustom PC, but they're UK based so I'm not sure if they'd ship to oregon.

Who needs backlighting? Learn the keybaord and get a Filco Majestouch. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

I'm a programmer who does a lot of his work at night in the dark, it's helpful in case I lose my placement on the keyboard. Also aesthetics dammit.

In regards to my previous question about where I could buy a Ducky keyboard, I have discovered that NCIX US actually has Ducky keyboards in stock. So thank you for the suggestions.
