Budget friendly mechanical keyboard?

Hi everyone. Seeing as my new pc is doing great, my keyboard unfortunately not so much.
I was willing to flunk out $160 (AUD) on the Corsair K70 cherry mx brown switches but now they only have the black with red led version.
Looking for Cherry MX Brown switches with Blue LED's. Been looking at the Ducky Shine Zero Zone, seems really nice for about $109 (AUD)
Anyone got any suggestions?

CPU: i7 4770k  Motherboard: MSI Z87-G43 SSD: ADATA 250GB PNY 120gb HDD:2xSeagate 2TB (One is an external HDD) GPU: RTX 2070 Super RAM: 16gb Corsair Vengeance 1600 PSU:Corsair CX-M600w Case: NZXT Phantom 410
