Hi guys,

 

  I currently have a K90 and the red switches arent really to my liking. I really like blue and brown switches ive tried. Therefore I'm looking for some suggestions on good blue key switch keyboards.

 

The keyboard only needs to have a numpad, blue/white backlight, and blue key switches

 

I dont need macro keys, USB hubs, or any other fancy feature.

 

Ive been eyeing the ducky shine II and Metadot Professional, however the later doesnt have a backlight.

Ducky is one of best mechanical keyboard companies, but finding a full back-lit blue is pretty difficult and most that have it are out of stock. Are you completely set on having a blue or white backlight? If you are then you kind of limit yourself to less quality keyboards.

I would get the Ducky Shine 2 because they have a variety of led lighting with the blue switches. But they are out of stock on mechanicalkeyboards.net and tigerimports.net. The Max Keyboard Nighthawk X7 keyboard has Cherry MX Blue switches and white backlight.

Have a look at the Blue Switch CM Storm Quickfire TK and the upcoming Quickfire XT. I am typing on a TK with blue switches now and I love it; the backlight is outstanding.

To the OP: the num pad and the del home insert end pg up and down etc. keys are merged together. Here is an image of the layout and features: OVERALL%20FEATURES(1).jpg

I'm using a Ducky right now with blue switches and it is awesome. Another option I'd go for is the CM Storm TK. The compact size and format of the keyboard is space-saving, and the blue light + blue metal plating just makes it look so awesome.
