So I just finished my new pc (I'll leave some photos down below) for about £1000. Nothing magical, just a i5 6500, 16gb ram and an msi 1060. I'm a huge fan of little keyboards, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in a direction of a mechanical keyboard kit? My current theme is black and red. 

 

I would really like like something with brown switches (or the equivalent) with either white or rob backlighting (I don't know how possible that is with a mechanical keyboard you build yourself). I would like something without the number pad because 1. I'm limited on space and 2. I never use it anyway. 

 

Preferably  something under £150 ish would be good too, I don't have that great of a job so it takes me a while to save up (I'm 18)

 

thank you you in advance!
