All the choices...

Go to solution Solved by STRMfrmXMN,

So do you think if I wait until my Birthday or next xmas I can get a better keyboard with a higher budget?

If you get money for your birthday or get the keyboard for your birthday, I'd say wait until then unless you're stuck with a switch you cannot stand. You can also spend 5 bucks more and get this Cooler Master keyboard http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-QuickFire-TK-Mechanical/dp/B00A378L4C/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1418084787&sr=1-2&keywords=cooler+master+keyboard&pebp=1418084789159 which is what I would do TBH. Cooler Master makes great keyboards if you avoid the branding infested Quickfire Rapid with Blues....

Ok to sum it up, I can get a mechanical keyboard for $80 (give or take $10) 

BUT, 

Here are my limitations:

I prefer full size (but 10 key-less is manageable)

I do not want anything from Cooler Master

Either MX blue or brown (prefer brown)

Excellent build quality

Media controls

And finally, Backlight 

 

I'm really picky, so for an example I'll say the keyboards I like:

K series corsair

and the G710/+

And maybe even Ducky keyboards

 

Thank you

What limits it is lack of Cooler Master and need of backlighting.

All I could find on Amazon.

There's this Rosewill with blues and RGB (I beleive) lighting http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-keyboard-rk9200bu

There's a Ducky Keyboard http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ducky-keyboard-dk2108buslla But it has no picture. Here's a picture of what they look like.

There's a few more options. Use PCPartPicker for all the good deals and stuff.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Yeah, you can do that. That or a G710+. I say Corsair of the two but that's my own opinion. Also note that Logitech uses o-ring dampeners that make the brown switch uber-silent if that matters to ya.
