Cherry MX Blue Keyboard With Red LED Backlight?

Hi all,

I'm looking to get my first [personal] mechanical keyboard (I used ones that my dad bought when I lived at home), and like the title says, I'm looking for one with Blue switches and a red backlight. However, every time I Google something along those lines, I invariably get keyboards with Red switches or blue backlights. No offense to non-tactile fanboys, but I absolutely hate linear switches like Reds and Blacks and would never consider buying one over one with Blues, Whites or Greens. Do any of you personally know of any well-built, Blue-based keyboards with red backlighting for less than $150?

The space bar has 2 RGB lights in it on either side of the red one so that can be whatever colour you want. It also comes in loads of different colours switches and different LED's for each switch too.

I was planning to, but I highly doubt that it will debut at any reasonable price.
