Ok I need a new keyboard and going to get a mechanical. Here is what I know I want in a new KB

 

1 -  Cherry blue's.  Ive typed on a few and I do prefer these

2 -  red backlighting / lit key caps.  

3 -  Wired

4 -  Good braided cable 

5 -  Needs a numpad

6 -  Needs arrow keys separate from the numpad

7 - Prefer the KB itself be black

8 - Prefer under 120USD but can go a tad higher if I had too

 

Someone call Newegg and tell them those all need to be search features :P

Best bet would be a Ducky Shine II with red LEDs, not the easiest to find. Best option would be one from http://global.pchome.com.tw/english/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A68425810 but it's out of stock, unless you can settle with TKL http://global.pchome.com.tw/english/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A70702192. The website is reputable, I bought my keyboard from there. It arrived working in one piece, and only took about 4 days from Taiwan to southern California.

Edit: Or you could just get orange back lighting? http://global.pchome.com.tw/english/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH0X-A73164843

All I have to say is that the majority of people, even many keyboard enthusiasts, pick function over form. Also with the rather limited number of mechanical keyboards on newegg there is no way their implementing a search mechanism just for them.
