Looking for custom mechanical keyboard brand options/builders

I'm looking to get a custom mechanical keyboard, don't really mean building one myself with parts, but the online builder configurator choosing size, switches, layout, language legends, keycaps and such. 

I've looked up some sites and so far I'm looking at wasdkeyboards site which seems solid with options. They also offer my own language legends which is neat. Their pricing for a custom configured keyboard is modest too.

 

What I've been looking for:

Size: TKL

Layout: ISO 

Switch type: Linear (Cherry MX Speed Silver)

 

Bonus options:

LEDs: White

Switch tech: Optical

Switch plate: Floating type

 

I don't necessarily need LEDs though I wouldn't mind white LEDs which I currently have on my keyboard. I can't find if their keyboards offer that or they use PBT keycaps that don't have LED shine through.

So more or less this is my only option so far, would be good to see some other options if they offer what I look for. 

I'm not completely opposed into building my self, though that would all depend afterwards from seeing more options to pre-configure from a website somewhere. As well as complexity, is it simple building, without soldering, lubing, etc needed. As well as price in the end too, I've seen some really expensive ones.

 

That's so far where I'm at with looking at custom keyboards. Definitely want something that I can configure specs without going too much into very custom territory.

 

Thanks in advance!
