Searching for a suitable keyboard

Yo, need some help finding 'the one' over here.

 

I've been using a Ducky Shine 2, Cherry MX Red, Blue LEDs for slightly over two years now, while i definitely still love this keyboard. I have been looking to pick up a minimalist Blank Cherry MX Blue board.

I have my sights fixated on Das Keyboard Ultimate 4 for almost a year now, but as they do not have any distributors in Singapore i have to purchase one from Amazon at USD169, or ~$230 in my local Singaporean Currency. Let's just say it's on the 'pretty damn expensive side' of things.

 

So can anyone recommend me a suitable keyboard that will fit these criterias.

  • Price range of around 140USD. [~SGD190]
  • Full size or Tenkeyless
  • Blank Keycaps
  • Cherry MX Blue Switches
  • Either No LEDs with sleek design, or
  • Green or Red LEDs [probably with custom blank keycaps, to achieve red/green underglow - does this work? Need Clarification!]

The closest i am to currently finding the perfect keyboard is an MX Blue K70 with Red LEDs. However i have two problems in that - the keyboard is only available for shipping in the US from Amazon, too expensive to purchase locally. And, i am not sure what custom blank keycaps will fit on the K70 as it seems to have a set of differently shaped keys.

 

Filco and Ducky Keyboards do not provide the underglow i want as the keys are too close together, and do not look sleek enough like the Das Keyboard Ultimate 4 to warrant a completely blank keyboard with no accents.

 

Am i asking for too much? Probably :P

 

Please do assist this very picky person to find the right keyboard for OCD problems

I don't have any recommendations, but for anyone that will attempt to, look for something around 100 USD, as with shipping and "out of country ""tax"" " it will end up to around $140 USD, maybe more.
