So I've been trying to find a mechanical keyboard with the following features:

 

Under £90

Cherry MX brown switches

Backlit (at least white, preferably multiple colours)

Dedicated media keys.

 

 

I've been searching for bloody ages and haven't turned up anything that hits all of these features, I'm sort of veering towards getting the Steelseries Apex instead at the moment, anyone found anything along these lines?

It's TKL but the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid would be a good choice. Either that or the CM Storm Quickfire TK.

All I know of is CM Storm Quickfire TK. Also, you didn't specifiy if you want a full keyboard. The MX brown version comes with white backlight.

Quickfire TK is out of that range, so is the G710. You could always check sales/Monoprice.

You will not get all of that for £90. I wanted a simple looking backlit board for under £100 and there aren't really any good options. Just spend a bit more, mechanical keyboards are a good investment.

 

Also, very few mechanical keyboards exist that have multicloloured backlights. Most of them are custom or limited editions, and they cost much, much more than £90.
