Need Help Finding A Mechanical Keyboard

[Dido447]

Hey, I want to buy my first mechanical keyboard but I need some help choosing a keyboard that will fit my needs/want list. For my budget I know mechanical keyboards are expensive so anything from $100-$150 is fine. My Needs list is what it has to have before I even consider buying it and my wants is what it would be really nice to have. oh and I am using the keyboard for mostly gaming and average typing.  

 

Needs:

. A numpad

. Blue led back lit

. Matte finish

. Media keys

 

Wants:

. sturdy build

. a "gaming mode" wasd light up only

. Woven cable

. usb hub

. Well known producer

. cheaper(price) the better

. Blue keys (I think)

 

I don't know what keys I will like, I have tried blues and reds but thats all I could get my hands on. I know I don't really like reds so that leans me to blues. Heres a list of what i would like the mechanicles keys to be like and maybe you could help me choose. 

 

. I like resting my hand on the keyboard(lightly) so heavier keys are better

. I don't mind the clicky sound

. I want to feel the actuation point  

 

Here is what I have found looking so far that I like:

There's the Corsair K70, but that only meets a few of the criteria. (http://www.corsair.com/k70)

As boring as I find recommendations of Ducky Shines, a Ducky Shine II might be your best bet. You'll have to set up the WASD lighting scheme yourself (it lets you create different lighting profiles), but otherwise I think it has everything but the USB hub and cheap price.

 

That said, you might have trouble finding one. There's rumours (possibly more by now) of a Ducky Shine III on the horizon, so Shine IIs might have ceased production.

 

Edit: If you can find the Qpad MK-80, that might have everything but the WASD lighting.

Check out some of the coolermaster keyboards, they are made in the same factory as filco so you know they are good quality.

I don't think CM Storm make any full-size blue-backlit keyboards.
