If you can't find a green one, don't buy the BWU. Horrendous. 

I can recommend the CM Storm rapid I to go with green. I have a Razer mouse and mouse pad. The white backlight doesn't look bad at all.

Or an RGB keyboard.

is there a any good green mechanical keyboards out there? ive been looking at razer bwu but it seems really cheap... any recommendations? 

I'm sorry did you mean by the mechanical switches or LED backlight/green colour scheme? I have the CM storm quickfire stealth with mx greens & I think I would've opted for blues but oh well :D Ducky might have a model with greens but they're quite rare in itself.

You could get the Corsair K70 RGB. It's quite expensive, $170 I think, but it has an amazing aluminum chassis, and individual full RGB backlight that you can set to any color.

OP if you want a green backlight, the Ducky Shine 3 has a nice minty light.

Or the K70 RGB.

 

If you want switches, Ducky Shine 3 may have greens, or the CM Storm Quickfire TK.

OP, if you're referring to the BWU 2014, that one comes with Kailh Green switch, which is a clone of the Cherry Blue switch. If that's the case, look for keyboards with Cherry Blue switch as many believe Kailh to be inferior to Cherry, and I'm one of them. If you're referring to LED color, well, there's Corsair K70 RGB but it comes with Cherry Red for now, or you can look at Ducky Shine 3 which comes in various LED and switch combos......you can pick a Ducky Shine 3 Cherry Blue with green LED for example.

Assuming you're referring to the switch, there are plenty of Cherry MX Green keyboards out there!

Keep in mind that Razer no longer uses Cherry switches on their newer keyboards. So their green switch is NOT the same as a Cherry MX switch.
