Well with my new build I am going to grab the corsair RGB keyboard with brown switches whenever the hell it comes out but until then I figure I might as well get something different so what's a good green switch board? I would love somethjng with media keys seperate from the f keys with function, and macro keys are cool too but I know there isn't many options when it comes to greens

My friend (who's a pretty big guy) actually has a CODE keyboard from WASDkeyboards with mx greens. It's way too heavy and clunky for me when I'm gaming but it's just about fine for casual stuff searching the web etc. I use my mx blue keyboard every now and then but I'm more a mx red person so...my 2 pennies worth.

He definitely likes it, although it took him a couple a days to get use to it coming from blues.

ok cool, even if I don't like it I'll be switching soon(hopefully) with the rgb one from corsair the only thing is if I like the greens I'll have to go back to blues reds or browns(I think those are the three of will have) but I'll just slide it down my desk and use it for my future pc builds

Probably above 'reasonable' but this is the only one I've been able to find so far.

Hey, I have that exact keyboard and I love it, I also have the Trigger Cherry Green as well. The problem with the Ducky is that it has no media key to speak of, other than the Vol up/down keys. The Shine 2 comes witha measure of Fn layered media keys including play/pause.....not comprehensive like some other keyboards, especially those membrane keyboards.

Is there an exact keyboard you don't have? lol (only slightly jealous)

But yeah, I really can't think of another full sized cherry mx green with backlight, with or without dedicated media keys.

 

but I know there isn't many options when it comes to greens

OP, sadly, you answered your own question right there.

I know you said you're looking for a full sized but this is the only (near) full-size green switch + backlight under $150 I can find right now:
