so im looking for a full keyboard with cherry mx green switches without breaking the bank i was looking at cooler masters tk storm quickfire but i cant find anywhere to buy it im located in the us 

an inexpensive green is really hard to come by. I'm just glad my favorite, blues, aren't hard to find.

as far as I know green switches were designed to be a counterpart to blue as the spacebar switch. they weren't designed for use on whole keyboards and aren't sold as widely.

when the demand for a product is low, the supply adjusts to match it. when a product isn't mass produced as heavily, the price is always higher. unfortunately securing enough stock of green switches is quite hard for many companies, which is why we have inventions like the cherry MX Ghetto Green (blue keyswitch with a black spring.)

Greens weren't really designed for mass-production in the first place, and considering they feel really heavy, not a lot of people like them either, so it's hard to find a cheap MX Green keyboard. If you like the clicky sound, with a weighty key stroke, I guess you'll have to settle for blue, as it'll be easy to find with the closest feel to Greens. 

My build: tis be ordered

if you want inexpensive, you can't go wrong with the selection from cooler master. I am currently typing on a cooler master quickfire Rapid and I love it to death.
