Looking for a mechanical keyboard

I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard with Blacks or Greens, tenkeyless(or as small as possible), wrist rest, and backlit. Bonus points for removable wrist rest but built in will be fine too. No wrist rest is a deal breaker.

I dont really have a budget in mind since I'm sure there aren't many boards that fit what I'm looking for. I just want to know what ones are out there so I can decide after if its worth it.

can't really find anything, I don't think there are actually any keyboards that are tenkeyless and have a wrist rest

only keyboard I could find.

could probably just buy a wrist rest along with it.

I was a little confused with that one as the description says it uses blues but the model number is for the black model. Also it doesnt seem like this one is backlit. That is something that I do want.

I think you're out of luck on this one. MX Black isn't the most common switch type. You could go with a CoolerMaster QuickFire keyboard and a foam or gel wrist rest. Likely one of the only options really.

I thought as much, I looked before posting and didnt find much in the way of what I'm looking for and had hoped that there was something that I had missed that someone could point me towards.

Always worth the shot right?

I'm pretty surprised no one's come out with one yet. All it would take is one company to make a solid one and they'd have the entire "I need a wrist rest on my TKL keyboard" market. Which I would think would be a large percentage of gamers.

yea, i dont like the idea of a rest that isnt attached or cant be attached to my board since this would be something that I would be switching between with another KB. Having to move a rest on my desk out of the way would make the switch annoying.
