Title says most of it. I'm looking for a black mechanical keyboard (either red or brown switches; taking suggestions for both until i can go into a store and feel each to decide which I like better) with blue LED backlighting (I prefer lighter blues). I don't care massively about the price, but under $150 would be preferable.

Edit: Not a requirement or anything, but I'm a fan of macro keys and other extra buttons I'll probably never use.

hello-

I am very satisfied with my Rosewill Apollo RK-9100xB -- which are Cherry MX Blue, but is also comes in MX Brown per the link here

it's my first mechanical, and I couldn't be happier - especially with the blue LED backlight! awesome for when the lights are off...

This is a very simple / plain kind of keyboard. No fancy layout or extra keys, but there is the option of using macros (I haven't yet). But it is solid, literally. This thing weighs 3 lbs I believe, and the build quality is outstanding.

here's a video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNfMD6Vpjzo
the backlight appears a bit purple-ish in the video, but I can assure you it is a very nice BLUE color, and VERY bright on the highest level (three levels of brightness).

Alright thanks. Since you were the only one to post (thanks) I went ahead and spent a longer time looking it up and I think I might get the Corsair Vengeance K70. Has anyone used that and can give me pros and cons?
