What budget and form factor? Cherry MX Blue and other click jacket clicky switches are all pretty bad compared to clicky Box switches.

There is no way to get a board with cherry blues for 50 bucks

I would recommend corsair k68 or logitech g512

How about this I know back light is red but https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084GYSFDT/ref=twister_B085QJSSQZ

do you absolutely need cherry switches ... cause there's a lot of other options that are really good and cheaper.

LTT's done a switch sampling test featuring some Kailh BOX clicky switches (ah, geo3 beat me to it):

• Kailh BOX Jades Timestamp: 13:18 - 14:30.
• Kailh BOX Whites Timestamp: 15:13 - 16:07.
• Cherry MX Blues Timestamp: 14:31 - 15:12.

Other community-recommended clicky switches have been suggested and featured in the video above as well, if you'd like to hear how they sound.

 

This is what they look like (not to scale comparison):

     

Notice that the stem is enclosed in a box. Kailh claims it improves the switches' water- and dust-resistance, users have noted they offer more stability/less wobbling than traditional Cherry MX-style stems. Note that the BOX Reds and BOX Blacks (my switch!) are linear, and the BOX Browns are tactile.

 

Also this might interest you:

Dated 17 July, 2017, prices may have changed slightly since then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are there any pre-built keyboards with these switches? Because whenever I looked em up I only see the switches themselves.

Sure, but they definitely aren't gonna go for $50:

• Kailh BOX Jade Keyboards on Mechanical Keyboards.
• Kailh BOX Navy Keyboards on Mechanical Keyboards.
• Kailh BOX White Keyboards on Mechanical Keyboards.
• Patriot Viper V765 Keyboard (Kailh BOX White Switches) available for $99.99 on Amazon or $98.99 on Newegg.
• MK Night Typist (Kailh BOX White Switches) available for $104.00 on Mechanical Keyboards.
• Drop CTRL Keyboard (Kailh BOX White, Cherry MX Blue Switches) available for $200.00++ (pre-order) on Drop.

I'm sure there are other vendors, found these ones after a quick search.
