Mech keyboard with volume control?

I am having a hard time finding the right mechanical gaming keyboard.  I want cherry RED or similar, RGB backlight, and a volume dial is a MUST!  I really like the Corsair Strafe except it has no volume dial!  K70 RGB would fit the bill, but is there anything else?

ducky generally has better build quality, though it has seperate keys for volume control and not an actual dial

Ya I looked at that one, not sure about those Romer-G switches though.  I think I'd prefer the tried and true Cherry Reds.

I might have to live without RGB, but I can't live without a volume dial.  I'm running audio through a receiver that is not within reach from my computer desk.
