Whats a good mech keyboard that follows a blue color scheme?

 

Budget? Switch types? Layout? Are you looking for blue key-caps (these can be purchased separately) or a blue back-lights?

Switch? Price range? Buy a Ducky.

Any switch type not too picky, no more than $150, and blue back-lights then going to buy blue keys.

No point in having a backlight if your are going to replace the keycaps. If you want get a Ducky Zero or a cheaper Cooler Master.

Ducky has a blue/grey keyboard that is under $150...

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

No offense but you need to be picky about the switch types. Switch types are very personal, think about how much time your hands will spend on a keyboard, don't get ones you don't like. As an example I am one of the rare few that enjoys typing and gaming on MX Red switches whereas many prefer MX Blue or Brown switches. You can purchase key switch samplers that have different MX switch types to try out. Ducky is probably your best bet, but you will stretch your budget, especially if you are buying aftermarket key-caps. Hope this helps.

You can get anything you want, I would suggest NOT settling for anything BUT what you want. Check out Ducky, also Corsair, and Cooler Master. I like wasdkeyboards for aftermarket key-caps though there are others: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/
