So I have just completed my first from scratch desktop build and have decided that my second hand cheapo Microsoft keyboard isn't up to the job.

I'm looking for a backlit keyboard with cherry mx brown switches, preferably I would like it in a black and blue theme.

I would also prefer if all this was available without too high a cost, can anyone think of any good keyboards that fits the bill?? Any help would be hugely appreciated!

If I am not remembering wrong, the Corsair Strafe keyboards are pretty affordable and you can choose which Cherry Switches you want, but it only comes in Red backlight. Otherwise you can check the RGB version but it costs a bit more.

I knew I saw one. I thought it was the Thermaltake Poseidon but that's blue switches. Then I found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6YZ2J44006&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC

 

Blue backlight, brown keys. :D

I have a Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard and its a pretty awesome keyboard for the money (Paid $99 at Best Buy). Love the backlighting on the keyboard and also can download profiles from the Corsair website and have custom backlighting or if you know how to do it, make custom backlighting/effects yourself.

Heard some good things about Tesoro, but never seen one in person. May be worth a look.
