I can't find a relatively cheap keyboard as described above. I don't really care about macro keys but I would like volume control on the keyboard. Can you help me out? Availability in Europe might also be an issue.

Why do i always get blue screens? Why not a red one for a change?

What do you mean by "cheap"? Backlit + mech is usually about $100 at least.

In terms of mechanical, I have the CM storm QuickFire TK with mx blue. http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=10019&product_name=CM%20Storm%20QuickFire%20TK

 

Edit: Not sure if it is the exact format you are looking for or not.

If you don't go with a backlit keyboard to save money, I recommend getting what @tS-kStin said.

 

Oh...I didn't realize that series was backlit too, my bad xD

That is not exactly the format I am interested in, I just want a keyboard without a numpad. 100 dollars is relatively cheap, I just don't want to go above that.

I like the QuickFire but the version with the blue switches has blue leds. I already have a Razer Deathadder 2013 that has green lighting and I am going to use white leds in my new case so color mixing is an issue.

Why do i always get blue screens? Why not a red one for a change?

@sotiris.bos I recommend this then. I know it's over $100, but trust me it's worth it. http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=552

Where can I buy it in Europe or have it shipped here?

CM Storm Quick Fire TK could be a option but if you want white backlight you would have to go with Cherry MX Brown switch. Blue switch comes with blue LED and green switch comes with green LED.
