Why is it so hard to find the perfect keyboard?

I am trying to find the keyboard to fit my needs, but Corsair had to stop selling a bunch of their keyboards...

 

I would love to have a K70 with blue LEDs and Cherry MX blues, but they are no longer being sold.

 

Optimally I would like to have the same body of the K70 in black, with white keycaps and Cherry MX Clears.

 

I am probably just going to remove the top cover and paint the backplate of my Rosewill Keyboard black, and get white keycaps, but unfortunately it doesn't have any LEDs.

 

Why does things looking good have to be so hard?

There are so many options for each part that the perfect one is practically impossible. My ideal keyboard is a k65 rgb with cherry mx blues, but it only comes in reds.

Corsair is the ones that stop offering all of the options. I could get a code keyboard and remove the top cover, and change the keycaps. I wonder how hard it would be to add leds to a non led keyboard.

It would be very hard, you would need to do soldering and possibly add wires to power them. You don't really want to try it...
